Insomnia last night and who shows up for an anti-drug ad on television?

None other than old lady Barbara Bush. And the theme? Families that eat together have less drug and alcohol use. No shit! That was the message. And there's a picture of the Bush family with ole GW at the table. WTF? Has anyone seen this ad?

8. HAW HAW HAW! I love it when

these sanctimonious assholes do self satire. They make themselves look sillier than we could ever hope to.

Hey, Babs! Were you zonked out of your gourd for the past 40 years and miss what has been going on with your children and grandchildren, or are you telling us that you never bothered with that family dinner nonsense, it would have interfered with your social life?

9. I saw one

where it was this girl talking to her mother about all her extracurricular activities...I wasn't actually paying attention, so I thought it was some kind of thing like "Don't make your children do all this shit they hate just so you don't have to watch them". (Which I agree with).
Actually, it was an anti drug ad saying that kids who are busy don't do drugs. Which I am sure is true, but the life this commercial was describing sounded miserable. This kid had way too much going on. Micromanaging your kid's lives will only make them resent you (and probably smoke pot anyway).

12. Man that whole fucking family is a mess

Her grandkids are either drunks or crackheads, all of her boys are criminals of the highest order and her husband is completly out of touch with the world around him.

13. You poor thing!

As if being unable to sleep weren't bad enough!

I recommend Turner Classic Movies and a lot of novels...:-)
