Paid Programming

Posted by admin  Published in Reviews

Nothing in the universe is worse than some quack hawking his newest “Miracle Cure” with a 30 minute commercial. Well, actually, there is worse. Waking UP to a quack hawking his miracle cure.

Mixed Messages
After watching “The Devil Wears Prada” for the umpteenth time last night, it occurred to me there very disturbing mixed messages in this film. While I understand the film itself is meant for purely entertainment purposes, the insidiousness of the messages can harm it’s target audience, namely children and tweens.
First we see Andy desperately [...]

Your Texas Driver’s License

Posted by admin  Published in Uncategorized

This was news to me. And trust me, I got my license out and looked. It’s
really there!
Something all Texans should know, especially since this has received very
little or no publicity.
Your Texas driver’s license has a phone number on the back, just above the
bar code on the lower left side:
1-800-525-5555. (It’s VERY SMALL PRINT , but [...]

Child Prostitution

Posted by admin  Published in School Wars

The lazy days of summer are over and cooler temperatures are flirting on the horizon. It’s back to school time. Big yellow buses wind their way through the neighborhoods collecting our most precious cargo. But there is an insidious predator lurking, invited with open arms by our school administrators to prey on our children. Sanctioned even, by our [...]

Dress code Blues

Posted by admin  Published in School Wars

I hate the dress code. No, I loathe the dress code. Abhor. Despise.
At any rate, since I don’t get a vote on it and the Megalomaniacs in the School Administration desperately need to discharge stupid rules for the sake of, well, their personal power trips, we have a dress code.
“A students appearance has much to [...]

On Borrowing Hats

Rather than let her precious paws come in contact with something so lowly as carpet(or concrete) she has developed a stratgey of jumping from whatever elevated object is handy, to the next. Normally this would only be mildly annoying, however, considering how outrageously clumsy [...]

A conversation one morning before school…
 While paying homage to her reflection
Katy:(to Becky) I had a dream last night that I took your phone to school with me
While searching for her shoes
Becky: (To Katy) And then I had a dream that I beat the snot out of you for touching my phone.
