Childbirth is the greatest miracle of life , a truly magical moment to both, the expecting parents and the newly-born baby. However, as beautiful as the experience is, it’s also very stressful for every party involved, from the mother to the medical professionals.

I think the response about having the “football team” in was hysterical!

Argh!

If you need a photo id for the plane, then why is it “suppression” to require it to vote?

On October 25 th , 2002 the last great hero of the common people in the US Senate was very likely murdered by agents of the shadow US crime cabal government otherwise known as the Bush-Cheney regime. His wife and daughter and two pilots also died in the air crash.

Authored by Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner via Wirepoints.com, Listen to education officials’ demands for more money and it’s easy to believe Illinois grossly underspends on K-12 education. A $7.2 billion funding lawsuit to double state contributions to classroom spending, a $40,000 minimum wage demand for teachers, and lawmakers’ rejection of limits to school district borrowing might bolster that impression.

A new report says that one reason has to do with white people’s perceptions that they’re losing financial dominance as people of color are making gains.

Interesting. Even if they’d benefit, they oppose it. Racism? I think not; perhaps because the nation is broke? Perhaps, because welfare kills any ambition and any chance of a better life? Perhaps, NPR is a leftist media outlet that survives on the Gooferment dole!

One of my beloved Chromebooks — ET101 Samsung — updated the Chrome OS and popped up an “End Of Life” message.
What?
It’s EOL when it dies.
Is this part of Google’s attempt to follow in Apple’s “planned obsolesce” “architecture”?
Personally, if the Chromebook is supposed to be the “toaster” appliance of the computer age, then it should old go “end of life” when it goes to chromebook heaven. I have toasters that lasted until the lady of the house decided the exterior could no longer be clean enough. Not my problem, but an example of “Western Electric” telephone handset engineering. Capable of operating after a flood or a nuke.
I am very upset.
And as if to rub my nose it (i.e., EOL), google helpfully offers me a selection of upgrades.
ARGH cubed!
