look, something shiny....

I'm proud of this guy too, although I would like to see the day when it's out from day one and doesn't have that feel of a "confession" at some later date. What irks me is that the POTUS is so so eager to make points with his empty-headed worshippers that he can't put himself above this kind of cultural fluff and CONSIDER HIS OFFICE, consider how his words are looked at by certain PTB in the world and the ammo that he is giving crazy maniacs that want to kill us. Just keep your mouth shut for God's sake.

It's interesting how many people love to ridicule cashiers. It must make them feel good about themselves.

I worked in the grocery industry for 35 years, and absolutely concur that the stores in these neighborhoods that Michelle is trying to get us to feel so sorry for CLOSE (they WERE THERE, they are GONE NOW - important point) because they cannot be profitable due to theft , and not just petty shoplifting but organized retail theft. They are not safe places to work. Would Michelle like to be the lone unarmed security guard in one of our supermarkets when six or seven or ten people walk in with trash bags and literally "sweep" the shelves, empty the meat dept., stack the beer cooler into carts..... and walk out? Good people pay the price for their out of control neighbors in these areas and I resent her acting like it's racism.

There are more important things to worry about IMHO.

My granddaughter's last report card had approx. 50 gobbledegook categories and no letter grades - only "meets expectations" or "approaches expectations". I honestly had no idea if it was a good report card or not, I had no clue. I asked the teacher if there had been pushback on it, she said yes, they were probably going to go back to the old method - well, hallelujah, how much money did that cost.

Excellent article, anyone who has tried to get help for SOMEONE ELSE'S mental illness (guess what, the disturbed person is usually not interested) knows the brick wall you bang your head on over and over. THEY KNOW THE GAME - if an adult says the magic words "Why no sir, I don't feel like I will hurt myself or others right now" you are screwed. And the drugs are a crapshoot, they can turn you into a different person in days, even hours.

Oh, I think there is a secular reason, it's called germs and herp viruses and sweat and all the other stuff that our clothes protect us from spreading around. You want to sit in a nice, moist restaurant booth after a bunch of naked people get up?

I agree, I have NEVER seen the appeal of that image.

God bless your Mom, Larry, I remember when you used to talk to her on your show. I truly hope that black parents will take the racial aspect out of it, and teach, for lack of a better word, sportsmanship. A coach will put in the best player at a crucial moment, period, kids understand that. The barrier has been broken, he won't be the last. They should still be proud.
