Used to be, someone had to actually DO something to be considered.  I guess all one needs to do is say the key words; HOPE & CHANGE to be the ONE. 

Or, perhaps they figure this is the only chance to name him.  Once the Mighty O is actually expected to DO something, he won't be very high on the "person of the year" list!

Okay, just detained at the RNC with other reporters & some protestors.  It's on the news page on this site...

Heard on Fox 4 this morning that the salmonella DID come from jalapenos from Mexico.  They've been trying to send them across the border since January.  Our FDA needs to get their act together and protect the public from all of these types of illnesses brought on through lack of cleanliness. 

And not just coming from other countries, from our own, too.

I posted this a week or so ago (it  was moved to WEATHER?!)  Based on the latest from DISD, seemed like a good time to re-post it.

I know I'll catch H E double hockeystix for this, but I'm going ahead into the fray!

One keeps hearing how today's youth has no respect for their elders, property, education, authority figures and on and on and on and on and on... ..lost myself there a minute!

It seems to me that all I keep hearing is how children should have the opportunity to just "be kids and not have to worry about anything but how to get to the movies tonight". Maybe we should give them back some responsibility.

Two hundred years ago, when kids were EXPECTED to pitch in and help the family just survive, children weren't out (for the most part) killing people, joining gangs, etc. Kids of today don't even have to take responsibility for their own education. Boy I sure did. My parents never seemed to believe that "the teacher just doesn't like me". Maybe those children of yesteryear were just too exhausted to cause much trouble. Hell, most of them carried their guns to school (if they even got to attend school) so they could maybe add something to the table that night.

I'm not saying we should put 6 year olds back in factories for 12-14 hour shifts. But just maybe we should remind them that they are HUMANS and we adults expect them to act as such. Even the children as recently as the 40's were raised to have respect for others and other's property.

We should discontinue thinking that no responsibilty or expectation of becoming self sufficient is a good thing to teach our youth. So many of today's kids don't even have to take on the task of raising their own children. Their enabling parents are doing it!! My mom always said she would watch my kids when and IF SHE wanted to, not to show up expecting a free babysitter. She would say "I already raised my kids & I damn sure ain't raising yours". I think this is what many more parents should be saying.

How does one NOT HEAR an infant being "eaten alive" by a dog.  The story indicated this was perpetrated by a Labrador PUPPY that ate the baby while he was in a baby swing unattended for at least 2 hours.

WHAT?!  I don't get it.  And, on top of it all they euthanized the PUPPY.  If it was a pup, couldn't it have been "rehabilitated"?  And how does a puppy reach the baby in the swing?  I'm torn on this story, it feels like something is missing.

Regardless, the egg donor of this child definitely derserves very harsh punishment.

It looks like my spouse was right; HOOTERS does have the best cheeseburgers & this kid knew it!!

How scary to have a 5-year old walking around town, stealing sodas, checking out HOOTERS, & no one notices?!   Some one needs to be charged with not watching this kid at the daycare center.
