One funny little thing about being back on the left coast as I visit relatives is catching up on my local news and public access shows. Believe it or not I forgot to bring a coat because I thought March meant Spring not lingering snow flurries. Plus it was a last minute decision. So [...]

One of the best journalists in the business (Ifill) being interviewed by another great journalist (Rose) makes for an interesting pairing. Ifill was on to discuss her book, “The Breakthrough”. She makes some interesting points about stealth tactics in running campaigns. My only concern is in whether there’s this assumption that these breakthrough candidates will [...] So I’m flipping through the boob tube and I see this frenzy outside the house where Nadya Suleman lives with her soon-to-be 14 strong brood. Whatever your feelings and thoughts are on this situation it was pure chaos and being a fame whore has its drawbacks. She took two of the octuplets home and it [...] I’m taking my own advice by the way. Even in this climate of economic upheaval and uncertainty if you have your health and your wits about you, why wait to make all the long-held desires you may be holding on to come true? They may run the gamut from what would be considered mundane [...] They’re like a tickle you want to scratch. Something you can’t quite put your finger on. I had to do a search to get the name of the actress who plays what I call the “Oracle of Ikea”.

She has focused on teaching students from lower economic neighborhoods how to grow and enjoy fresh food, which is fast becoming a lost skill set. If we can create a generation of people [...] Classism. Racism. Sexism. Militarism. Dogmatism. Physical Intimidation/Domination. Have I missed anything? Yes, I get weary of talking about the ills of the human psyche and how it manifests itself in a myriad of ways. Over at What About Our Daughters you can read the story of how a 18 year-old male beat a toddler [...] Oprah’s Thursday episode she asked Tyra Banks to be her co-host as they discussed dating violence amongst teens. Is it being petty to point out that with such a serious discussion someone really should have talked to Tyra about her how distracting her hair (too many blonde highlights with the wig) and makeup (she looked [...]  |
