Republicans Become Dumber – Is That Possible?

Republicans Become Dumber – Is That Possible?

Yep, it's possible.
Belief in evolution among Republicans has dropped more than 10 percentage points since 2009, according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center. Pew found that 43 percent of Republicans said they believed humans and other living beings had evolved over time, down from 54 percent in 2009. More (48 percent) said they believed all living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time.
Oh my, that's embarrassing.  Guess all this talk of the importance of STEM classes doesn't resonate with the GOP.  Science, technology, engineering and math are obviously not Jesus approved.  Good luck with that.

Cookie Hooky Day!

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really far behind this holiday season!  Today I took my daughter out of school for a cookie hooky day.  Chocolate chips, peanut…
I Fear For Our Daughters

I Fear For Our Daughters

hen incidents like this happen a chill runs up my spine.
A Michigan woman who suffered a dangerous, painful and prolonged miscarriage when she was 18 weeks pregnant is at the center of a lawsuit that claims she was denied appropriate treatment by a Catholic hospital guided by religious, not medical, concerns.
Yeah, I know.  The new Pope is saying awesome stuff... perhaps he can back those words up with deeds? What happened to this woman is 100% unacceptable.  They knew the pregnancy wasn't viable.  They knew the safest treatment option.  They knew they were endangering her health.  And I'm sure they knew she had two children at home, because, as a mother, I can't imagine not worrying (aloud) about my children when I'm in the emergency room.  But, I'm beginning to think that these Catholic bishops, and other "pro-lifers", only consider pregnant women mothers because they seem a-okay with creating motherless children. It's as if losing a child is only okay if a woman suffers maximum pain and risks her health and life.  I can't wrap my head around that, but these incidents keep happening so that's the drill.
Another Business Commits Suicide

Another Business Commits Suicide

Can we please stop pretending that "business" owners are smart.  They aren't - just ask Komen. So this happened:
Like many consumers who have had a bad experience, Jen Palmer wrote a review online in 2008 after the Christmas presents her husband ordered from Kleargear.com never arrived. Years later, thanks to her online review, the couple is facing a damaged credit score and a $3,500 fine.
$3,500 fine?  How could that happen? 
Red Clay School District Bucks The Class Size Law

Red Clay School District Bucks The Class Size Law

So this happened:
Parents and educators have fought for years to keep class sizes small. But as school populations grow, those efforts run into physical and financial barriers. Sometimes schools run out of space and face difficult decisions. In most cases, there are two solutions: Build more classroom space and hire more teachers (which usually means raising taxes or moving money from other priorities) or approve a waiver allowing more students in classes than the law says is ideal. In the past few years, most Delaware districts have asked their school boards to approve waivers – and boards have always agreed. That changed last week when the Red Clay School Board rejected its district’s request, deadlocking in a 3-3 vote.
Color me surprised.  And while I completely understand the difficulties districts face following this law, it is a law.  An unfunded, feel good law, but a law nonetheless. That said... I like what the RCCD board did. 

Please. Just Stop

Seriously? At least we know her mind won’t be preoccupied with haute couture. Here’s the black-on-black ensemble she sported last month when President Barack Obama officially nominated her: (Jewel Samad/AFP/Getty…
