Hell, I could have told you that!
Asking kids to sit still for an hour at a time is un-natural, unhealthy, and unproductive.
I think that most kids, boys especially would learn better with less time in the classroom and more time outside. What good is an hour in the classroom if half of it is wasted by a kid who cannot pay attention because we're forcing them to stunt their growth and their instincts?
Fidgeting is a real problem. It is a strong indicator that children are not getting enough movement throughout the day. We need to fix the underlying issue. Recess times need to be extended and kids should be playing outside as soon as they get home from school. Twenty minutes of movement a day is not enough! They need hours of play outdoors in order to establish a healthy sensory system and to support higher-level attention and learning in the classroom.

She gets WHAT?
Can someone please explain to me just how and why Chelsea Clinton gets $75,000 PER SPEECH?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Just what the hell has Chelsea Clinton done to deserve $75k to open her over-priviledged yap? Can anyone point to one thing she's done?
ANYTHING?
The only thing that makes Chelsea special is that Bill managed to get high enough on cocaine to lay the pipe to Hillary at least once, and they spawned. That's it. That's Chelsea's big achievement, and she really wasn't even involved in it. Other than that, this is just more proof that the Left is so infatuated with their Marxist gods and goddesses that even being related to a ProgNazi deity is enough to get you paid.
Does George Bush's daughters get paid $75k to give a speech? Hell, do they even go around giving speeches?
Oh by the way, that $75k per speech is more than I make in ONE YEAR. I don't EVER want to hear the Left cry about the 1% when they give the Clintons a tongue bath at every opportunity. Fucking hypocrites.

Hey, where'd all my money go?
Just keep this in mind while you're wondering where your paycheck went to - the rise of cost in food isn't counted into the "official" inflation rate.
And the cost of food is going sky high.
And the cost of food is going sky high.
Tis always thus with Leftists
It's all "SOCIALISM! MARXISM! COMMUNISM!"
Until they have to pay for it.
Fuck the doped up douche-nozzles.

It's always worse
Every time you learn more about how badly Obama has fucked things up, it always gets worse.
So this weak, gutless, pathetic piece of shit in the Oval Office has been warned over and over for years about ISIS, and did nothing. NOTHING!
Obama has thrown away every sacrifice made in Iraq. And he did it because he's too pathetic to do anything else.
While the policy process in Washington was frozen, U.S. intelligence analysts still filed their warnings about major weaknesses in Iraq’s military. Both the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency have issued reported analysis for nearly a year warning that Iraq’s military would not be able to stand up against a sustained campaign from ISIS.

The Evil of Obamacare
I won't go into how the National Organization for (Liberal) Women put the Little Sisters of the Poor on their "Dirty 100" list.
I will simply state that any law which refuses to recognize Catholic Nuns as a "religious employer" because they employ and minister to non-Catholics isn't just stupid, it is evil, and it is designed to be so.

New pair of Docs
I have horrible feet when it comes to buying shoes. A high instep, high arch, tall feet, the only normal thing about my feet is that I'm a 10 ½ regular. But couple a normal size with all the other characteristics, and I can't find decent shoes to save my life. I'll shop for days just to get a pair of running shoes, because if they don't fit just right I'll be hobbled after I use them.
Anyways, I had a pair of Dr. Marten's sandals that the Ragin' Mrs. and gotten for me back when we were stationed in Puerto Rico. So we're talking seven or eight years ago. And these poor sandals are just beat to hell by now; stitching coming out, leather peeling from the foot-bed, sole worn smooth and flat, just plain worn out.
I've been shopping for a new pair of sandals for about two weeks, trying to find a pair that didn't pinch my feet at the wrong spot, and give me enough arch support, and so on and so forth. We finally just went to the Dr. Marten's store in Santa Monica so I could try on another pair. And I found the perfect pair, after two weeks of searching! They fit, they feel good, they don't do weird things to my gait, and I bought 'em and walked out of the store with them on my feet. And the crowd sang Hallelujah!
Now, we had a seminarian with us that day; he's going through training with our church, and the Bishop wanted him to get out and about, so he came with us. He's wearing his cassock, and his collar, and we're walking around Santa Monica together after I got my sandals. We pass buy a group of people who are evangelizing in the middle of the Third Street Promenade, and all of the sudden my red alert siren goes off in my head. I look closer, and all those folks handing out pamphlets asking if you know your creator? Muslims. They're talking about the Koran, and Allah this and Allah that, and they are all staring at this young man in his collar and cassock with contempt and hatred in their eyes.
I looked at this young man, who was also recognizing just what was going on and said "Abbé, I think we may want to pick it up a step."
I never expected Muslims to be out there like Jehovah's Witnesses, but there they were. And they were NOT happy to see a traditional Catholic walking around. Hell, we didn't even get that much of a stink-eye from the flaming homosexual guy at the Dr. Marten's store.
But anyway, there we go. How's your weekend going?

Happy Fourth!
And a shout-out to my Navy-boat hitch-hiking bothers out there.
Since Souza was a Jarhead and all....
I'm going to be spending the day smoking a brisket and hanging out with friends. I suggest you do something similar if you can.
And if you can't because Uncle Sam has you in some guard-shack in some dank hole of a country, well, thank you, and I owe you a beer.

I wanted to go running today
Had on my shoes, dogs in tow, ready to go.
Stepped outside into some of the nastiest smog I'd seen here. I tried to go, I really did, but I was a quarter-mile in and my chest was getting tight, I was coughing, and I could taste the metallic tang of smog in the back of my throat.
I hate this place. I hate this disgusting, polluted, nasty shithole that I'm forced to live in. I hate the fact that I have to hide indoors because the air is so dirty that normal human activity causes me to break out into a coughing fit. Hell, I've had a cough for the past two months, and I'm not sick, I'm just sucking this foul, nasty, polluted Los Angeles air into my lungs. I cannot wait until I can escape from this third-world shithole masquerading as an American city. Los Angeles needs to fall off into the ocean and drown, for the good of the rest of the country.

How would you like to take a bus ride
...and end up with scabies? And lice?
Welcome once again to Obama's America. The best part? The healthcare workers are being threatened with arrest and confinement if they tell people just how bad the situation is. So they're bringing in thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens, and just dumping them into America without any regard to the consequences.
Yep. Obama's America.
I say dump them all in Washington D.C. If they're going to be used as political props, keep them close to the politicians. In fact, give them access to the Senate and the White House. Let them crawl all over the chairs, and the floor, and run down the halls. Make sure Harry Reid's seat is given special attention by the little scabies-crusted, border-hopping disease factories.
Does that sound mean? Yeah, it does. But we cannot fix the problems in Guatemala, or Nicaragua, or El Salvador, or Mexico. Hell, the politicians in this country can't even man up and demand the same level of security on our Southern border as Mexico has on their Southern border. Nope, that would be meeeeeeeean! And raciss! So we continue to allow anybody who can run, jump or swim access into this country via our Southern border, no matter who they are!
That's not just stupid, that's criminally insane.
We cannot help the entire population of Guatemala, or Nicaragua, or El Salvador, or Mexico. We don't have the space, the money, the facilities, or the patience. There will never be enough supply of aid to cover the demand coming from the third-world shitholes in Central and South America. Until those countries drop their Socialist governments and improve themselves, there's nothing anybody can do, short of invading, toppling the government there and annexing it as another state of the United States.
I don't see a whole lot of enthusiasm for that. I certainly don't have it.
So all we can do is seal the border, tell people to get their shit straight before they try to come here, and demand the same respect for our borders that all those other countries demand for theirs.
The nurse told me she became especially alarmed because their files indicated the children had been transported to Lackland on domestic charter buses and airplanes.
“That’s what alerted me,” she said. “Oh, my God. They’re flying these kids around. Nobody knows that these children have scabies and lice. To tell you the truth, there’s no way to control it.”

Roundabout
Way, way back.....
OK, in 1999....
I scored tickets to a concert at Sandstone Amphitheater when I was stationed at Ft. Riley in Kansas, to go see two bands that just absolutely rocked: Kansas, and Yes.
They might not have had all the screaming fans of some other bands, but this was undoubtedly the beset concert I have ever been to in my entire life. These two bands just blew people flat with their music, and all they had for a set was large, white sheets with a few colored lights behind them for effect. The entire show was all about the music.
I really wish that "bands" today were half as talented. Or at least, the bands that get record deals. I've seen plenty of talented bands playing away in some club, never even getting a sniff from the big labels.

The Left's demands about birth control
summed up in one tweet:
And isn't that just the perfect summation? Hell, isn't that just the perfect summation for 80% of the ProgLeft's arguments? They want what they want, and they want everyone else to pay for it.
"Get your politics out of my bedroom!"
"Not a problem. I'm just going to grab my wallet before I leave."
"The wallet stays, bigot."

Aaaaaand, here we go
Every Caliphate needs it's leadership. and every leadership needs a communications network. So we listen in on what they're saying, where they're going, and instead of sending a couple of divisions over, we just send bombers. High altitude bombers, with GPS-guided JDAMS.
Boom. The more leaders they move up, the more JDAMS we drop. Don't just level the house. Don't send in snipers. Level the entire friggin' village.
I'm done being nice. And we all know that Obama the petulant bitch doesn't have what it takes to win a war in Iraq. Hell, he was handed a safe, stable country and fucked that up. He certainly wouldn't be able to fix the mess he created now. So I don't want to see any more US lives lost in Iraq until we have leadership that actually A) wants America to win as Obama doesn't and B) has the guts it takes to make the proper decisions, as Obama doesn't.

What is a "real" education worth?
Patrice Lewis has a post up questioning the value of a "real" college education. I won't paraphrase what she said, you can go read it over there when you want to.
As part of her post, she links to Survival Blog, where they write that becoming self sufficient is better than going to college.
Here's my take (and you just knew I had a take on it): Excepting the hard sciences such as math and engineering, I would rather hire someone with an honorable discharge from the military rather than someone with a four-year degree.
Now, obviously I'm somewhat biased, and I'll admit to that. However, I'll point out that I've seen more than my share of people with an Honorable Discharge who still couldn't pour piss out of a boot if you printed instructions on the heel. It's just that the ratio of worthless morons grows exponentially when you start looking at people with fancy sheepskins hanging on their wall.
What does a four (or five!) year degree mean these days? Most likely, it means that you can successfully regurgitate all the hard-Left shibboleths on command, and have most likely been indoctrinated into some of the most toxic, anti-American thinking you can find in this country.
What does an Honorable Discharge mean? Most likely it means that you can work in a team, can both give and receive orders and follow them out, and kept your nose clean and out of trouble for a goodly number of years.
"B-b-b-but, DAAAAVE! What schooling does that military guy have that can help you in your business, huh? Just what does he KNOW?!?!"
Hell, what schooling does that college graduate have that will help me with my business? Tell me just what some Film Studies major can do for me? Oh, you have a degree in English? That's wonderful, exactly how are you going to help me sell food or plan my business?
Don't even get me started on "Wymens Studies". I think that any college that offers a gender-based degree needs to be shut down for Grand Larceny.
And if you truly do want an education, in this day and age of online schooling you can get a degree at just about any time. Hell, I'm getting my degree right now, and it's been years since I stepped foot into a traditional classroom. And I will not pay to set foot in a traditional classroom in any case, as I don't wish to be exposed to far-Left propaganda disguised as education. I don't have that problem with my online school.
Now keep in mind that when it comes to things like designing and building bridges or skyscrapers, or heavy manufacturing, or being a doctor, you obviously need schooling. I got it. There are some degrees that are required for certain jobs.
But check out the ratios of hard science degrees to liberal arts degrees. And let's be blunt; I'm not going to be hiring a doctor or an engineer to help me with my business.
So..... what's a "real" education worth to you?

Got a bike
The Ragin' Mrs. already had one; she uses it for going shopping, tooling around the neighborhood, etc. Me, I haven't had a bike for almost a decade now.
Fixed that today. Got pretty much a hybrid of a mountain/road bike. Rides nice and I can get up to some pretty decent speed on it. I'm going to start riding it to work, try to save some money on this too-damn expensive gasoline we got right here.

Fantasies
I just spent a goodly amount of time and two cans of spray-paint covering up graffiti that was left on my wall by one of Los Angeles' junior criminals.
I have actual fantasies about catching these parasitic shitstains in the act, and beating them so fucking hard that they have to wear diapers and helmets for the rest of their miserable lives. I want to break them in half and shit in their mouth before throwing them into the road and letting traffic run over their broken bodies all day long.
Worthless, gutless, pathetic, parasitic, criminal maggots. And I would bet my entire paycheck that they're huge Obama fans.
I cannot wait to leave this disgusting shithole.
