Maryland school district restricts hugs, party invitations and cupcakes
Tue Mar 19, 2013
- It is a sad state our world is in. You can't hug a child without being accused of sexual assault. Kids can't have homemade cup cakes, but they can eat the nutritionless garbage made and packaged in China. You can't push a child on a swing without being sued if the child falls. I understand that not …
Big jump seen in hurricane-related storm surges
Mon Mar 18, 2013
- Massive hurricanes are not new. I will refer you to the one in 1906 (that's right 1906 - pre-global warming) that wiped Galveston off the face of the map. I grew up in Houston, so perhaps that makes me more aware of them. Of course, they have been occuring not only on gulf coast land, but all up and …

- Greed rules. You must learn to protect yourself.
US to deploy more ground-based missile interceptors as North Korea steps up threats
Fri Mar 15, 2013
- I have long thought that we would next be at war with N Korea. Their leadership, at least what we see, is a lot of false bravado now lead by a spoiled child. All the making fun of him will probably set him off, making him want to throw the first punch. What will count is if the real powers behind hi …
Ahmadinejad's scandalous moment with Hugo Chavez's mother
Mon Mar 11, 2013
- ...the Society of the Militant Clergy of Tehran"... just warms your heart doesn't it. His remarks denote the insanity of some of these despot leaders.
Judge tosses out NYC's planned ban on sugary drinks
Mon Mar 11, 2013
- He seems to think he is, though. It was a stupid law. He is attempting to control his whole populace. Has he never heard of refills. He would have been better off encouraging people to drink smaller drinks. Instead he issues his manifesto and tries to force it upon people.
New names show up on list of top Obama donation bundlers
Fri Mar 8, 2013
- Apparently my vote is useless. Little ole me can't compete with the money movers - in either party. Each day brings new info that makes me believe more and more that I will have to become an ex-pat of the country of which I was once very proud. When big money and hollywood rule, our doom as a democr …
World leaders pay tribute to Hugo Chavez as wave of grief washes over Latin America
Tue Mar 5, 2013
- How very strange that MSNBC says the "world mourns" his death. Beside Sean Penn, the Iranian dictator, and castro, I can't imagine who would miss him. In fact, my husband and I actually sent up a cheer when we heard the news last night.
The Onion apologizes for offensive Quvenzhané Wallis tweet
Mon Feb 25, 2013
- I don't tweet and I don't follow Onion (whatever that is), and I am now glad that I don't. This is a 9-year-old child they are making fun of. There is no excuse. Perhaps this is where so many people learn how to say things in really bad taste these days. Frankly, I can't see why this would be funny …
Supreme Court to hear challenge to campaign donation limits
Tue Feb 19, 2013
- I now see the problem for the US - we are populated with idiots that can't read. This story was about Obama's claim that the impending "sequester" would "devastate" the economy. You idiots are talking about something else entirely. The left wing Democrats have stuck their heads in the sand and refus …

Questions & Answers

When are girls old enough for a bikini wax?
Older than 18... or never!
- I'm 52, and I have never been waxed at a salon. (I have done my own upper lip, though) I wore bikinis back in the 70's and 80's without waxing, Stuff didn't hang out "like a brillo pad" and I was never teased. Granted we didn't hang absolutely everything out then like the thongs do now, but no one w …

Do you agree with the Tiger Mom's strict parenting?
Sort of: She has some good points, but she goes too far.

What do you think of the 'twiblings' story?
I think it's weird, but if they're happy, then fine

Yes. The instinctual way works best.
- Cuddling, for anyone, is good. Unstructured play is good, too. But I'm pretty sure discipline occured, too. Coddling is what's "now" parent
- I'm a parent and a teacher, so I have notable experience dealing with children. The problem with kids today is too much coddling (not the same as cuddling) and not enough discipline. I gurantee you 98% of parents think their kids are perfect and whatever they do wrong is someone else's fault And th …
Do you think the Katy Perry video is too risque for 'Sesame Street'?
Yes
- Maybe not too risque, but certainly ill advised for preschoolers. Bad taste is bad taste - except for the media i guess
