Woman buys wooden ‘iPad’ in McDonald’s parking lot

Seriously, hun? Someone offers you something half price in a parking lot and you did open it up to check before handing over your money? Part of me feels like she got what was coming to her because now, hopefully, she’ll be a little wiser in the future…

100+ businesses to withhold campaign donations over debt

2011-08-25T21:28:00.001-07:00

“Schultz earlier this month issued an internal message at Starbucks reportedly expressing dismay over ‘the lack of cooperation and irresponsibility among elected officials as they have put partisan agendas before the people's agenda.’ The response to that message led him on Aug. 15 to issue the campaign donation boycott pledge to business leaders, casting it as a strike to force politicians to act swiftly on the debt crisis and clean up what he views as their dysfunction.”

Well said!

2011-05-28T19:26:00.001-07:00

“The oldest drivers tested -- ages 60 to 65 -- had the highest average test scores at 80.3%.”

Yes, but 60-65 is not really that old… Where are the test scores from 75-85-year-olds? Also, know what you should do on paper is a completely different ball game than putting it into practice when you’re actually out on the road… Reaction times decrease with age, which is why I strongly believe people over 75 should have to retake a version of the road test every 2-3 years to renew their licenses…

It’s OK to be Takei

This is really funny, but there is nothing funny about banning classroom discussion on anything. How else are students supposed to learn to form their own opinions on things? Or is that their point?

This is a super dumb, random blog, but I love the title: Rodgers knew that Aguilera goofed up National Anthem at Super Bowl. Duh. Everyone knew she messed up unless they, too, never knew all the words to the Star Spangled Banner.

US mother [finally] convicted in baby’s microwave death

2011-05-14T11:58:00.001-07:00

This is utterly disgusting, and what adds to my disgust is the fact that it took three trials to finally convict her! Thank goodness OH is a death penalty state… I hope they fry her so she can get a taste of her own medicine! The cruelty some “parents” are capable of inflicting on their own children will never cease to astound me!

Class of 2011 most indebted

Bin Laden’s death a tough subject for the pulpit

2011-05-08T19:31:00.001-07:00

I found this article very interesting, as I was just talking about the same thing with my parents this weekend… Don’t get me wrong, I know Osama Bin Laden was a very bad man. He deserved to die, and I’m glad he’s dead. He deserves to spend an eternity burning in hell, and I have no doubt that he is doing just that. However, as a Christian, I am troubled by how happy I am with the fact that someone is burning in hell. I didn’t kill thousands of people or ignite terror in millions more, but I am a sinful human and, if I got what I truly deserve, I would be burning right along with him when I die… I’m so thankful for God’s grace and mercy!

Underrepresented subset of greeting card consumers

2011-05-05T20:47:00.001-07:00

My dad’s birthday is coming up at the end of the month, followed soon by Fathers’ Day. It is always hard to find just the right cards for him, and while scouring the card racks at the store today it occurred to me that there is a subset of greeting card consumers that remains sorely untapped...

When is Hallmark going to start making cards for the kids who didn't have great relationships with their dads? Where are the cards that say, 'I will always love you for the simple fact that you gave me life, and I really appreciate the effort you're putting forth now, but that doesn't change the fact that you were too wrapped up in yourself to be a present parent during my formative years. I’ve forgiven you, but I'm not going to lie and give you a card touting how you've always been a great father, and how so much of who I am today is because of you... Unless, of course, you count the part that doesn't trust men and runs away from commitment.'

Breastfeeding baby doll: Educational or freaky?

2011-05-05T15:58:00.001-07:00

I have mixed feelings on this. I really don’t understand the point of buying a special doll with sound effects and a strap-on bra with floral nips, when you can play the same thing with a regular doll. I think it is the flower nippled bra that creeps me out.

New Yorkers sample cheese made from human breast milk

2011-05-02T21:03:00.001-07:00

If the idea of eating cheese made from a strangers breast milk isn’t enough to make you queasy, how about the names of the cheeses:

“Three varieties were available on Sunday -- West Side Funk, Midtown Smoke, described as "creamy and just pure heaven," and Wisconsin Chew, the taste of which apparently reflected the vegetable-filled diet of the woman who provided its milk.”

Teen's fake pregnancy fools school

2011-04-22T14:36:00.001-07:00

Very interesting social experiment, though I feel like they could’ve let a few more people in on the secret, like her younger siblings and her boyfriend’s parents… Also, completely unrelated, I don’t understand how they can say she’s a straight-A student, and then say her GPA is only a 3.8. Don’t get me wrong, that’s still really good, but if she were getting straight-As, wouldn’t her GPA be a 4.0?

Child shot while hunting in Washington County

This sounds like some grade-A parenting… I’m sorry, I’ve never been a hunter, but dressing a 5yo in camo and taking him out hunting just sounds like an all around awful idea! Isn’t it a law or something that you have to be 12yo and have passed Hunters’ Safety before you can go hunting?!
