And speaking of baby-sitting, this week's Parade magazine has a cover story about "affordable" child care and the desperate need for the government to step in and provide it. It will be affordable because someone else, other than the parents of the children involved, are supposed to pay for it. And to put the frosting on the cake, it contains this paragraph:

All seven of them. Somebody needs to wander around among these childhood cell-blocks with a camera and post that quote as a caption on every shot.
