Well, isn't that nice!
NYC lawyers gotta love this one. Imagine the "sexual harassment" suits! Fun, fun.....
New York Plans To Make Gender Personal Choice
New York City Board of Health is expected to adopt rule allowing people to change gender listed on their birth certificate; people born in city would have to provide affidavits from doctor and mental health professional specifying why their patients should be considered members of opposite sex; applicants would have to have changed their name and show that they have lived in their adopted gender for at least two years; rule, if adopted, would not require sex-change surgery or other medical requirements; proposal puts New York at center of efforts to redefine gender and shows how transgender movement has gained political power beyond its small numbers; transgender advocates note prohibitive cost of sex-change surgery and say proposal is overdue protection against discrimination; some doctors and psychiatrists are skeptical, saying choosing one's gender defies medical history

Mona Shores...and every other school system...
Totally "head in the sand". Or another orifice! They're out of MONEY not because of not enough "money in" but because of too much "money out". Like SPENT! How much does it cost the taxpayer to employ a teacher? Total cost including pension, early retirement, benefits, days off, etc? What do they make per hour?
We dare not even ask these questions!
Get out the Vasoline folks, this is gonna hurt.

Although the district doesn't appear to be in imminent fiscal danger, declining enrollment along with double-digit health insurance and retirement rate increases will do major damage to the district's coffers within the next five years if the school board does not begin making some hard decisions on budget cuts, school officials reported.
"We're going broke," said Superintendent Terry Babbitt. "Some people want to get angry with the messenger, but it's reality. We're in a free fall ... and we're experiencing a growing financial crisis." ......
"Our financial situation is a perfect storm," said Babbitt. "All we can do is slow the rate of decline."

UM deserves a rematch!
I disagree with this mope, but let him speak.....
When asked who I wanted to win, I've always responded Ohio State.
Why?
1. I hate University of Michigan
2. I hate UofM
3. I hate Meeecheegan!
That said, U of M deserves a rematch with OSU in the Championship. It won't happen because of TV advertising pressure (gotta have diversity, ya know) but a 3 point loss at Columbus is dang near a tie.
At least I know the UM faithful are angsting and gnashing their teeth in their classic whine mode....Bummer.....
The championship is decided. There is no reason to do it again.

Looney left at least true to their..."whatever"....
Diebold? Whatever!One advantage of Democrats winning last week's elections is that we've been spared all the complaints about "stolen" elections. Well, almost all of them. In Florida's 13th District, vacated by Rep. Katherine Harris for her ill-starred Senate run, Republican Vern Buchanan eked out a victory by about 400 votes.
Angry Left teen idol Markos "Kos" Moulitsas is crying foul:
Down in Florida, an epic battle is brewing over the electronic Diebold voting machines that ate 18,000 votes for Democrat Christine Jennings in FL-13 and cost her the election.
Not only is an expensive recount in the cards, but campaign and DCCC [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] lawyers are flocking down, demanding the state freeze the machines for inspection.
These are the opening salvos in what will be the battle to end Diebold.
But only 36 people have given via our Blue Majority Act Blue page for the legal battles ahead.
To put it bluntly, to anyone who has ever complained about Diebold, this is your chance to put your money where your mouth is. No more talk needed. No more advocacy needed. This is a real-world, legal frontal assault on those electronic voting machines.
If we win this battle, you'll be able to kiss Diebold goodbye.
Update: No one will confirm, but word is that the DCCC and the Jennings campaign are considering suing for a brand new election.
Update II: Machines in FL-13 were made by ES&S. Same difference.
"Same difference"? ES&S is Election Systems & Software Inc., a Diebold competitor. This really makes the Puffington Host look stupid.

Out of Europe!
Why do we have ANY troops in Europe or Asia?
A nation that's defended Europe from aggression in the 60 years since World War II is asking why Iraq can't defend itself. The fact is, Iraqis risk their lives for their country every day.

Unless penny-pinching by Michigan officials shows a dramatic effect when departments close their books next month, the governor and Legislature would have to deal with a budget shortfall estimated at $173 million, including $120 million in the School Aid Fund.
Tandem Story -oldie but still a goodie

Tandem Writing Assignment
The following is a true story received from an English professor.
You know that book "Men are from Mars, Women from Venus"? Well, here's a prime example of that. This assignment was actually turned in by two of my English students: Rebecca (last name deleted) and Gary (last name deleted).
First, the Assignment:
English 44A SMU Creative Writing Prof. Miller
In-Class Assignment for Wednesday: Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. One of you will then write the first paragraph of a short story. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back and forth.
Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached.
And now, the Assignment as submitted by Rebecca & Gary:
Rebecca starts:
At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The camomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked camomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So camomile was out of the question.
Gary:
Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far...". But before he could sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.
Rebecca:
He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel." Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth -- when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspapers to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully.
Gary:
Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through Congress had left earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion which vaporized Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't allow this! I'm going to veto that treaty! Let's blow 'em out of the sky!"
Rebecca:
This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic, semi-literate adolescent.
Gary:
Yeah? Well, you're a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium.
Rebecca:
Asshole.
Gary:
Bitch.

Blame the democrats!
It is still interesting.
The names of Republican candidates appeared first on the 2006 ballot because of a 52-year-old Michigan law that awards the privileged position to the party whose candidate finished first in the previous election for Secretary of State.
So Republicans who barely squeaked into office last week might want to thank incumbent Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land, who secured their advantage on this year's ballot with her 2002 victory over Democrat Butch Hollowell.
But those who take the longer view also have to credit Democratic legislators who put the current scheme in place in 1954, when their own candidate, the late Richard Austin, was securely ensconced in the Secretary of State's office.

Maybe he voted for the PlayStation before he voted against the PlayStation?....
(the TimesDaily changed their link. The original is in the "comments" section below.)
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. claimed Thursday that a prominent critic, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, asked his local Wal-Mart store for help in getting a hot new Sony PlayStation 3 - a claim the potential 2008 presidential candidate denied.Edwards took part in a Wednesday conference call with union-led activists and criticized the world's largest retailer. The same day, Wal-Mart said, an Edwards staff member asked a Raleigh, N.C., electronics department manager to obtain a PS3 for the ex-senator's family.

Huh?
I thought that when oil prices went up, it was Bush's fault. And then when they went down before the election it was Bush's "Big Oil" friends buying the election for the Republicans.
This surely must be big oil attempting to get the US to recount last week's election votes. Right?
The price of oil sank by more than $2 a barrel Thursday, settling at its lowest level in a year as traders focused on the bearish aspects of conflicting market trends. OPEC is cutting output, but the U.S. economy is slowing; winter is near, but the country has an abundance of home heating fuels.
Against everything?
Aren't the enviro-lunnies against everything that would provide additional energy? And don't the democrats give them the political support to stop so much that would help our energy needs?

Today, Taranto prints a couple of letters from former cadets at West Point. The reason they have so many subscriptions there is because cadets are required to subscribe to the paper. As one West Point alumnus writes in,
"Even back in the 1980s we knew of the leftist slant of the Times and asked our superiors why we had to read the New York Times, since it wasn't very pro-military. The reply often was: 'It's good to know what the enemy is thinking.' "

Remarkable Obituary!
from an e-mail
Remarkable Obituary:
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr. Common Sense.
Mr. Sense had been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such value lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn't always fair.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable Parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are in charge).
His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a six-year-oldboy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Mr. Sense declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student; but, could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Finally, Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a bit in her lap,and was awarded a huge financial settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.
He is survived by two step-brothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
If you still remember him, pass this on; if not, join the majority and do nothing.

Unpaid bill kicks ballot winner off Fruitport council
This sounds like a great way to steal an election.
"On the day after the election I received a fax from the (village) clerk indicating that Mr. Epplett was in default and any votes casts for him are void," Grimm said.
"That is what the State Bureau of Elections has instructed us to do -- to report zeros for his vote totals. Bruce Raymond is back on the council," she said. ........
Because Epplett was in default at the time of the election, paying the $115 bill now won't make any difference, according to Williams' response. http://www.mlive.com/news/muchronicle/index.ssf?/base/news-10/116360733719300.xml&coll=8

Toys not for tots
http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=167392
Toys for Tots is taking the Christ doll out of Christmas.
The charity has rejected a California toymaker’s gift of 4,000 talking Jesus dolls, arguing that the 12-inch action figures would offend non-Christian recipients.
.....“We can’t take a chance on sending a talking Jesus doll to a Jewish family or a Muslim family,” said Bill Grein of Toys for Tots, which gives poor kids of all faiths gifts for Christmas and other winter holidays.
.......Why? “Basically, political correctness,” McCawley said. “We can’t go out and give a Muslim child a Jesus doll. It’d be like giving a boy a makeup kit.”
