Why Are Public Schools Pimping Out Our Kids?
On April 7th, WorldnetDaily posted an article that has got me hopping mad. I'm having a hard time seeing straight, and I'm not due for an eye exam.

Isn't Chelsea Clinton All Grown Up Now?
Is it just me, or have we become a culture where every day our front page news must include the latest adult who is mortally offended by "comments" made by another adult? There can no longer be any doubt about this extremely sad fact. Political correctness is destroying human communication each and every day. We've lost our spine, our sense of humor, our sense of sarcasm, and ultimately, our sense of what it means to have a free exchange of social commentary.

Shame On Jamie Lynn Spears
"I definitely don't think it's something you should do; it's better to wait. But I can't be judgmental because it's a position I put myself in." --Jamie Lynn Spears, OK! Magazine

Is Michael Vick A Yard Short Of Redemption?
Of all the asinine things that have come out of his mouth during the Michael Vick dogfighting criminal investigation, at least when the sentence of 23 months in a federal penitentiary came down, Billy Martin finally made some sense.

There's No Such Thing As Free Birth Control
There's an old joke about Maine that goes like this: "What do you call a man from Maine with a full set of teeth?" "A tourist." Well, times have changed and perhaps this joke is outdated. And given the recent news that the King Middle School Health Center in Portland is giving birth control prescriptions to female "children" as young as eleven, here's the updated Maine joke: "What do call a school board member from Portland who has a clear sense of morality and sanity?" "A tourist."

"No More Excuses For Unfit Kids"
An article appeared in The Atlanta-Journal Constitution newspaper the other day that found a way to surprise me. I'm pleasantly surprised The Georgia Youth Fitness Assessment reccomends that "parents should serve as role models for healthy behaviors." I was under the impression that as far as public schools were concerned, parents have been deemed irrelevant.

Prescribe a Dog Instead of a Drug!
Dogs have an absolutely curious way of making you feel better. Better with a capital B, I might add. They bring an incredible amount of comfort to your spirit. Certainly, dogs can deliver a supreme sense of wellness that is often missing in this writer's opinion from designer mood and sleep drugs we (and the medical profession) are far too quick to rely on.

Ban ADHD Drugs, Not Tag
It appears the last good thing coming out of the state of Colorado is Coors beer. Everything else has taken a horrible left hand turn down the drain.

Take Race Out Of The Michael Vick Dogfighting Case
You are a racist if you think Michael Vick is being prosecuted unfairly on federal dogfighting conspiracy charges because he happens to be - a black man.

Let's Hang Michael Vick - Out To Dry
I'm a dog lover. Well, I'm just one of at least 24 million in these United States of America. And I probably shouldn't be writing this column with a smile still beaming on my face from recently walking Jessie, my beloved shepherd mix. She is a wonderful 12-year-old "friend in fur" who is absolutely priceless in every sense of the word.

50 Cent: Just Another Child Support Victim?
While I have always preferred country music to rap, there is no denying that 50 Cent appears to be just another child support victim in this confused culture of ours.

It's Too Late For A Hilton Extreme Makeover
Like too many of us, the Associated Press seems to be obsessed with Paris Hilton. Today's up to the minute "news" runs as follows: "Hilton Says She'll No Longer 'Act Dumb'".

Because It's The Right Thing To Do
I don't think a week goes by without me hearing the following jab from an otherwise thoughtful friend: "Why do you share custody of the dog? You're divorced. It just doesn't make any sense." My answer, week in and week out, goes like this: "Because it's the right thing to do."

Give Alec Baldwin A Pass On This
I hate Alec Baldwin's politics. I think he is dead wrong when it comes to President Bush, Iraq, and PETA. And I must admit, I always chuckle quite loudly when Sean Hannity replays Alec Baldwin's infamous argument with him, along with his dreadful attempt at trying to be a radio talk show host. Absolutely laughable. Every time.

It Feels Like 1984
If you need further evidence that political correctness has run past the amok stage, just look at the whirlwind surrounding shock jock Don Imus for wondering out loud if members of the Rutgers women's basketball team look like "nappy-headed hos."

You Can't Put A Price Tag On A Dog
Ask yourself this question: "What kind of human being could possibly choose to murder someone's dog?" Sure, there are a plethora of ways this question could be asked with a myriad of psychological musings. You could really analyze the heck out of it, even if you're not a dog lover.

No Excuse For This Hoax
As the old saying goes, there are only two things that are certain in life - death and taxes. I don't know about you, but I think that given the mindless celebrity culture we find ourselves immersed in, it might be time to add a third certain thing in life to the cultural mix.

The Problem Is Us, Not Ann Coulter
Love her or hate her, Ann Coulter rocks the house. Whatever house she happens to be in. I think she is intelligent, smart, and bold. Not to mention, very easy on the eyes. Ann Coulter is a conservative woman who happens to have more guts than many other conservative men.

Give Sleeping Pills A Final Rest
"Women are often blindsided by life and biology. As women go through different life stages, internal biological factors and external lifestyle factors have a huge impact on their ability to get a good sleep." -- Dr. Meir Kryger, director of research and education at the Gaylord Sleep Center in Wallingford, Connecticut.

Will Rosie O'Donnell Ever Stop Blowing Hot Air?
It seems that a day doesn't go by without the Associated Press reporting on what Rosie O'Donnell is saying or feeling - or advocating. How shallow and sad. The latest? Rosie O'Donnell has revealed that she became depressed after the Columbine school shootings some seven years ago. She couldn't get out of bed. She decided, despite the fact at least one of the shooters was either on psych meds or withdrawing from them - to start taking anti-depressants herself. How courageous. Gosh, Rosie O'Donnell is such a leader.
