The Thinking Minority

Having a bad day? Me too. But this helps.

The winner for Worst Story Of The Day...

Apparently these middle schoolers either believe that they're invincible or exist in the ethereal plane of ignorance. I guess the two are not mutually exclusive. In any case, they seem real stupid. I often worry about the future of the planet. If the current government doesn't do us in immediately, we'll assuredly be done in by the propagation of stupidity.

The Link

Are you serious?

I mean, I agree that women shouldn't smoke while pregnant, but ... seriously? Are we also going to make a law that says pregnant women can't take advil? Are we going to pass a law that says pregnant women aren't allowed to have soft cheeses or deli meat or clean a litterbox? Are we going to pass a law that says they have to take prenatal vitamins? How about a law banning pregnant women from having a soda, or taking a hot bath?

Sigh.

How about this?

Wow.

Ahhhh.........Myrtle.

Anyone want us to bring them home a turtle or two?

Please play this game. It is awesome. If you play at work, play without sound. If you play at home, play with sound. I repeat, it is awesome.

We were driving home last night when I saw the following bumper sticker:

BAN ILLEGAL ALIENS
NOT GUNS

Ignore the fact that the two topics have nothing to do with each other and ignore whatever beliefs you may have about the topics, but by my recollection, the term "illegal" means something is already "banned," no?

Is there anything better on this planet than a warm chocolate chip cookie dipped in cold milk?

What a wonderful Sunday afternoon.

Students of Turner County High School [in Ashburn, GA] started what they hope will become a new tradition: Black and white students attended the prom together for the first time on Saturday.

My favorite quote has to be:

"There was not anybody that I can remember that was black," [Mindy Bryan] said. "The white people have theirs, and the black people have theirs. It's nothing racial at all."

So, it's a black-white thing, but it's not racial... at all. Gotta' love The South.

Today, I have been a a sworn attorney for one year. I now have two reasons to celebrate 4/20.

More on the death of Liviu Librescu, the Holocaust survivor killed at Virginia Tech on Monday when he barricaded a classroom door with his body so students had a few more seconds to escape.

Sifting through the news today yielded this article about one of those who died at Virginia Tech yesterday. Liviu Librescu endured the Nazis, the ghetto, and Nicolae Ceausescu before he found himself living in Virginia and working at Virginia Tech. Librescu made himself into a human barricade to give fleeing students a few more seconds to jump out the window.

Monday was also Yom Hashoah, the Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust.
