A co-worker sent the link for this farcical article earlier and I just read it.  I love it, and think others should see what babies have been doing to us all along.

Cracked.com: Six Shockingly Evil Things Babies Are Capable Of

FYI: My wife and I are expecting our first child ourselves.  The due date is sometime in mid-August (the 17th or 18th).  God help us.

Normally I’m not one for campaigns to end the “blank”-word, whatever that may be in the moment.  This one’s different to me though.  I have an uncle who is mentally-challenged and while I haven’t seen him since I was a little kid, I find that when people use the word “retard” in a derogatory sense (especially when talking about mentally-challenged people) makes me bristle.  Me and my wife were actually talking about this just the other day when we were watching the most recent episode of Burn Notice.

So after reading this article today about Sarah Palin, I decided to go to the website and pledge my support as well.  I’ve included a button below that will take you to the website.  It’s promoted by the Special Olympics association.
