Racist Graffiti And A Paper Noose
This not only appears on the KNS, it’s on the AP Wire. The Sumner County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a possible hate crime after racist graffiti defaming a black school administrator were found with a paper-towel noose. Graffiti in a restroom? *gasp* A noose made out of paper towells? *oh no!* Congratulations news outlets. The [...]
Hold On…Let Me Get My Gun!
The Missus and I an ongoing disagreement. Disagreement is probably too strong of a world. It’s more like a difference of opinion–when is the right time for a child to have a gun, shoot a gun, be around guns, etc? We both have a healthy respect for what they can do, but hers is more [...]
How Would DLR Raise My Kids?
As I’ve said before, I often pause when I’m at a crossroads in my life to ask myself WWDLRD–What Would David Lee Roth Do? I guess it’s reasonable to suspect that my perspective would change once I decided to unleash version 2.0 of this gene package onto the world. Then again, when have I been [...]
Me! My Favorite Meme Ever!
Taylor tagged me with a meme. In her post she mentioned that she was celebrating her 6 month anniversary blogging, and I realized that I let my one year anniversary slip. Oh well, I don’t put much stock in that kind of stuff anyway. Here are the rules to the meme… ** Post about the [...]
More Educashun
I had a couple of interesting conversations about education yesterday. One was with a friend who home schooled both of his kids, and the other was with a couple of high school teachers. The one thing I took from both conversations is that it doesn’t seem like anyone is happy with the system, whether they [...]
CNN Debates at Reagan Library
This was basically a sham. We got, literally, 10 minutes of McCain and Romney arguing over semantics. Whether or not Romney used the word “timetable” as a reference to troop withdrawel or a reference to milestones. Is that really what the debate is about? I could have sworn I was watching two high school girls [...]
And I Ain’t Lost Yet
Billymac just got back from Vegas, and it sounds like he did pretty well at the poker tables. I’ve known and loved Billymac for years, and this is one reason why… I like… no, I LOVE, taking money from punk-ass kids that show up to a poker room wearing a track-suit, pulled down hat, wrap [...]
About Yesterday…
Newscoma has an interesting post this morning about the three big stories yesterday–the economy, Thompson exiting the Presidential race, and Heath Ledger’s death–and how they were covered by the media. In rooting around the Internet yesterday, as I was a blogging fool for about five different websites, the most response I saw about all of the [...]
Was This Part Of The Dream?
I’ve wrestled for a couple of days on how to compose this post, and I’m still not sure I can do this idea justice. I think the best way to frame it is to begin by quoting an email a friend sent to me on Saturday. A little background–he has two small children who are enrolled in arguably [...]
My Homies Shakespeare and Tupac
Taylor’s right. Shakespeare kicks serious ass. I would say he kicks more ass than Tupac, but he didn’t continue to publish works after his death, so I can’t go that far. But she has an interesting point–lots of kids aren’t into Shakespeare mostly because they aren’t into their teachers. So, if you’re a high schooler [...]
