Day one of the John Roberts hearings is over and this man is impressive. My favorite part is when he said, "no one is above the law, not even the President." Yes, but does he know who the President is? And speaking of President, Bush actually took the blame for the federal government taking its time to respond to the hurricane Katrina victims. Has hell frozen over?

Jaw dropper of the day: 11 kids in Wakeman, Ohio, were removed from a home after the discovery that some of them were made to sleep in cages, less than 3 feet high. The adoptive parents, during a custody hearing, denied allegations that they had abused or neglected the children. There was no immediate indication that any abuse had gone on but several of the children slept in cages rigged with alarms. The parents seemed to think it was ok and said it had been recommended by a psychiatrist. More like a PSYCHOatrist. I think they need a second opinion. The ages of the children ranged from 1-14 and some had conditions such as fetal alcohol syndrome and autism. If being made to sleep in a cage, like a dog, is not abuse then I don't know what it. It has to be some form of abuse. How about humiliation? That is just wrong.

Enjoy your day,
