CDA’s Phil Corless was flipping through the radio channels while driving his daughter to the store the other day when he paused to hear Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s spiel. Dr. Laura (pictured) was discussing an impatient man who accidentally killed his stepdaughter because he drove around crossing barriers into the path of an oncoming train. Then, Phil was shocked when Dr. Laura exclaimed: "This bastard! That’s what he is, I’m sorry, but he’s a bastard!" In his blog, A Family Runs Through It, Phil said he agreed with Schlessinger’s assessment, but he quickly changed the channel to prevent his daughter from hearing more. At bedtime that night, he learned that wasn’t the end of it. While saying his goodnight to the little girl, she grabbed a Little Pony and proclaimed its name to be Starcatcher. And the other one? Phil asked. The girl looked down, frowned, thought awhile, and said: “That one I’ll call Little Bastard.” Sighed Phil: “Thanks, Dr. Laura.”
