RANDOM THOUGHTS

WIFFLE BALL

      I read a column in a local Vegas newspaper (Ron Kantowksi - Review Journal) that was pretty funny. The point of the column was that there is a community in New York that is trying to outlaw Wiffle Ball from state supported youth camps and daycare centers due to its' "significant risk of injury". Seriously!!! The only injury that I ever received due to a wiffle ball or bat was when I was laying on my back on the living room floor and my 2 year old brother decided my testicles would make the perfect target and swung the bat as if he were Albert Pujols in the home run contest. Ouch!!!!!

HOW WILL THEY TEACH

     Las Vegas, just like every other community in the country, is having to reduce spending in all areas of its' budget. Including education spending. My favorite number is that they are going to cut 50% of spending in textbooks & supplies. Yeah, what the hell, students don't need text books to study and follow along. They have great memories and visualization abilities. The teacher will just read from her copy of the text book while the students attentively listen along. Wait. I need to stop laughing so I can continue to type. Granted this will save on any number of shoulder and back injuries that occur due to the students having to carry the books home everyday. How about some smart person come up with a way to put the book on disk so that those students who wish to, and are able to, can use these disks instead of the printed versions. I am willing to bet that this would save a considerable number of dollars as there would no longer be the printing costs of the hardcover books.
     Hopefully the teachers will not have to have printed copies of the tests, assignments, etc or have to write on a chalkboard to assist the children with their learning the assignments. Are the products needed for these tasks supplies.

HARVARD GRADUATE

    I love the fact that Donald Trump is questioning the educational background of Barack Obama. I am not a fan of Obama but the man did graduate from Harvard as a Magna Cum Laude (donald thought that was what his women di when they were with other men). I don't care how you got there but when you finish that way you deserved to be there.
     I haven't seen Trump's birth certificate (long or short form) or his educational achievements being offered up for review.
     Aren't most of the Donald's buildings made of glass. Better watch out that nobody picks up those stones he's throwing and chucks them back at him.

FUNNY

     Who would the comedians of America wish would be running for president Donald Trump or (if possible) George W. Bush. I think even W. would go out on the road with a routine about Trump. Hell, he's hoping Trump wins just so that America remembers him fondly...lol

OOOOOOPPPPPS!!!!

    The Post Office screwed the pooch in a big way this time....not only can they not make money but they manage to piss away the money they have been given to operate.
    It seems as though a new stamp was printed to commemorate the Statue of Liberty. On the stamp was an image of the Lady of Liberty. Here is where the "oops" part come in. The image of the Lady of Liberty is apparently not of the statue that so famously resides in New York. It was, in fact, an image of the now very famous statue located at the corner of Tropicana & Las Vegas Blvd. Yep. Right their on the strip in Las Vegas. Do you think anyone will get fired over that one? Wait Donald Trump could do it. "Your Fired" he's good at that. More importantly, who do you think gets to pay for this mistake? How long will it take for them to ask for more money because they can't afford to operate?
