LOSTer’n'a Easter Egg
Last week’s episode of LOST (“The Constant”) answered a lot of questions for me–I thought.  My idea was that the island is the nexus for all possible universes.  This would explain why Jack’s father is alive in the future and Kate is so protective of Aaron.  I think that in the universe they return to Jack’s [...]
Homeschooling Ruled Illegal in California–Seriously
Last month I posted about a proposal in Nebraska that would mandate testing to homeschooling families. Today, thanks to Reason, I read an article in the LA Times stating that homeschooling has been ruled illegal by a California appellate court. “Parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children,” wrote Justice H. [...]
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 [...]
Wine At The Grocery Store?
HT to Michael Silence for this. Sen. Bill Ketron and Rep. Randy Rinks introduced a bill (SB3139/HB3451) at the beginning of the legislative session. The proposed legislation would allow wine sales only in municipalities that currently allow package sales. Just another one of the many things I don’t understand:Â we need legislation to allow wine [...]
Dream Ticket? Whose Dream Is This?
When MLK said that he had a dream that little black boys and little white girls would one day hold hands run on a presidential ticket together, is this what he had in mind? If so, we should stop referring to him as a civil rights leader and change his title to Republican strategist. Hillary [...]
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 [...]
Miami Drivers Unite!
Quick! Take the opportunity this power outage has provided you to prove to the world once and for all that you are the biggest collection of jackasses alive. We were just watching Fox News here at work and they’re showing a busy intersection (79th and 10th I think) where the stoplights are out. People are [...]
BIG Manufacturing. Last to Know, Last to Go
I was mulling my current employment situation over yesterday, and I thought of something that I think not many people have realized yet. Dare I say this is a bold prediction? Big manufacturing companies are notorious for being late adopters of technology. From my experience, technology tends to happen to them instead happening for them. [...]
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 [...]
The Perfectly Aged Kindergartener
In yet another move that is sure to greatly improve the life of every citizen, the Tennessee legislature is pondering whether or not to change the cutoff date that determines when children can attend kindergarten. Makes sense to me. Who better than a group of politicians to decide when your kid is ready for school? [...]
