THE IRONY OF IT ALL

I've been meaning to post about THIS for a few days, but I just now had a free moment.

It appears that one Shannon Cook pled guilty to child endangerment. [Note to CNN.com: it's "pled" not "pleaded" - PLED! It's bad enough you still don't understand that you have to plead "not guilty" rather than "innocent" but could someone please slap the legal consultants over there and wake them from their nap. I shouldn't have to tell you guys this stuff.] AHEM, anyway, Mz. Cook left her three children, all under the age of four, alone for more than five hours. Apparently she "didn't think I'd be gone that long".

And would you like to know why three small children were left alone for so long?? Was it so their mother could go to work and make money to feed them? Noooo. Was it so she could attend to a sick friend or relative? Nooooooo.

Still guessing??

Wait for it .......................



She went to a taping of the Jerry Springer show!!!!!!!!!
