Mongolian Spots and CPS
I just got a phone call from a friend who was upset to the verge of tears. She’d had Child Protective Services called on her by the daycare that she’s used for more than three years for her first child, and most recently for her six week old baby. Why did they call CPS? Because [...]
WWE Does Something Really Classy
I’ve pretty much stopped watching wrasslin’, mostly due to the great Hornswaggle debacle of 2007. But I tuned in tonight to find out what happened at Wrestlemania. I was surprised to find out that Ric Flair was retiring. Just an angle? I thought so, but now I don’t. At the end of the show, Flair [...]
Ron Paul’s Campaign Over, Sorta
From ABC: In the video, Paul did not use the words “drop out,” opting instead to say the campaign is “winding down,” and he encourages supporters to still cast votes for him. But he referred to his campaign in the past tense. I know I can spin this in a pro-Paul way. Â Hang on–let me [...]
Stupor Tuesday
What a stinker. Lot’s of folks around the office are talking about the primaries today. It’s strange to me that so many people don’t pay attention until the day of. Anyway, here’s a quick roundup of what some of the blogs I frequent are saying this morning… Music City Bloggers is taking a poll. It [...]
Why and How Ron Paul Will Run Third Party
Justin at Donklephant criticizes him for staying in the Republican race, but I don’t think he sees the full picture. But no, keep chasing a GOP nomination that you have no hopes of winning. Throw good money at a losing cause. Good luck with that. If I were Ron Paul, I’d be thinking just the [...]
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 [...]
Per Yesterday’s Education Conversation…
Doug Metaconis at The Liberty Papers has this to say about birth control being offered at a public school in Portland, Maine: The solution, it seems, is obvious. Get government out of the eduction business, let parents choose where they send their children to school. And stop this insane practice of turning teachers and school [...]
Chicago Marathon Controversy
Mark Draughn at Windypundit.com reports that some runners had no problem with water, while some did. If there was a shortage of water on the course, that is definitely a problem. The organizers may not have expected the temperatures in the 80s months ago, but they surely had a few extra days to prepare based [...]
No Apartment For You!
A San Antonio man feels he’s been discriminated against because an apartment complex didn’t want to rent to him based on the fact that he has lots of tattoos. Frankel e-mailed us a statement saying his apartment complexes do, in fact, “reject prospective tenants who have… tattoos exposed on the neck, head, hands and wrists, [...]
