How come mom got arrested but dad didn’t?

That's what I was going to ask too.

Dad was home sleeping. Mom at least woke up and waddled around looking for her spawn.

Not only was dad not charged, they released the kids to him!

I was wondering if that was the case.

Cleverly done shirt about a California town, where I actually stopped for gas on a roadtrip in 2007.

Her Sunday shirt probably reads “Where the #### is my free health care!?”

True, but still I wouldn’t be comfortable walking around wearing it.

“The how come there are so many people on FR, who thinks any criticism of pot makes one a fascist?”

There is a vocal Libertarian element on FR.

You must exhibit the minimal amount of obligatory sympathy with the plights of Dear Leader's Chosen (his constitutency).

OK. I'm sorry that she's so screwed up, and a 0b0z0 voter to boot. Does that cut it?

"..... I also laughed at the Muslim that was strangled on the go-kart."

That's OK. A lot of us are still chuckling over Isadora Duncan.

“Not only was dad not charged, they released the kids to him!”

Maybe he was sober, and wasn’t supposed to be in charge at the time.

When I mention on ‘legalize pot’ threads that kids will suffer most, I get called a ‘nanny stater.’ Why not make alcohol illegal, too, they ask.

Because one can have a drink or two or even three and not be drunk. Public drunkenness is already a crime, as is driving drunk, caring for children when drunk, etc.

Anyone who smokes the ganja gets high.

And they don’t all sit quietly in their living rooms doing no harm to anybody. They drive, they make major decisions, they neglect dependents, etc.

“They could tell that just by looking at her?”

Yep.

There is no indication that pot was involved in this incident.

Great point. Maybe he was wearing a “Just Say No to Drugs!” T-shirt? :)

The only somewhat reasonable explanation might be that the children were in her care while he was sleeping, and since she stated that she “dozed off” while they were in her care, she alone was responsible.

It also could be that she either had them outside when she dozed off or left the door open.

They also could have opened the door.

It does happen and sometimes even to good parents.

Sure, the I (heart) Weed shirt means nothing. /sarc

T-shirts don't get you high.

The police charged her with being on prescription drugs. I'm sure if there was weed on her or in the house, she would have been charged with that as well.

“I know it’s not funny but I also laughed at the Muslim that was strangled on the go-kart”

...same here! I laughed until it hurt! Thought I was the only one.
