I said: Mom! Those flowers are poisonous if you eat them.

She quickly replied: Oh my! Well, don't tell your father!"; 4/15/15, 10:56 AM
Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of New York said...: I am sure it is all just a mistake that the new host of Face the Nation advocated for the destruction of the Republican Party just a couple of years ago. Surely when CBS finds out, they will replace him with a more suitable person.; 4/15/15, 12:36 PM

Hagar said...: "High school students in Wisconsin were asked to pretend that they were Muslims for a 10th grade World History writing assignment.

Union Grove High School teacher Beth Urban asked students to write a five paragraph essay in which they pretend they are a Muslim male or female in the U.S.

"Give three examples of what you do daily for your religion and any struggles you face," Urban instructed."

I wonder how this teacher would take to it if some of her students had read Ayaan Hirsi Ali's "Infidel" and used that as a basis for their papers?; 4/15/15, 1:46 PM

I would write an essay on how I would cut the head off of Daniel Pearl, and then offer advice on running from CIA drones, all the while having group sex with my three wives I captured in Karachi.

I would include a sentence about how Smoked Ham is bad for you.; 4/15/15, 1:56 PM

I think MLB needs to cut the number of teams to 24. There aren't enough good pitchers per team.

I suggest that MLB buy out and fold Tampa, Miami, San Diego, Milwaukee, Minnesota, and Seattle.; 4/15/15, 2:37 PM

SJ said...: @Renee,

when I was a teen (back in the 90s) I was personally acquainted with two families that had 10+ children.

One of those families, I am still connected with.

I always find it odd when people tell me I'm from a big family.

I only have four siblings. It's larger than usual, but it's not big.; 4/16/15, 10:47 PM
