Family I picked up a copy of the National Post Saturday edition for my daughter, cause she needed the inserted Saturday Night magazine for something for school. I browsed it and found this amusing article on ISO certification: "Are We Certifiable?" by Peter Carter. It's about certifying your family (no - not that way) ... about standardization. From that, to another newspaper article: "For the kids, it's cool," in the Saturday edition of the Toronto Star. The article is about children in gay and lesbian families - the parents are same-sex. While the kids are OK with it, and the parents are OK with it, others seem to have big problems with it. People don't seem to realize that good or bad parents come down to the individuals involved. It says something about people willing to take on the challenge of raising kids and choosing to do so, instead of the many 'accidental' parents there are out there.

It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
