I saw Charles Barkley give money to a homeless dude the other day.

I had the misfortune of wandering past the Celebrity Apprentice set back in 2007 when Stephen Baldwin was on. I think they were trying to sell printers on the street or something, I don’t know, anyway Stephen blocked my path on the sidewalk, stuck a bullhorn in my face and shouted something about him knowing I that…

Worthy of note: it was during one of those times that my mom regularly left me in the car for short errands that I first climbed into the driver’s seat, grasped the massive old Volvo steering wheel and stick shift and got that jolt of “holy shit, I bet driving is AWESOME” for the first time.

Whatever anecdotal evidence you have to support your opinion is just as valid/invalid as the anecdotal evidence people (myself included) have to support the idea that there are far greater risks than leaving your kid in the car when you run into the bank for five minutes.
