The practical light to his left, wanna bet what kind of bulb was in it? Color doesn’t look like a CF on my monitors.

“Use it or lose it?” Hasn’t that always been the case? You see the year end rushes to burn through the budget to justify it everywhere.

What good does modernizing school building do when the kids aren’t IN them or actually being taught things that matter? Graduates of today couldn’t compete in ANY economy, let alone a 21st century economy, they can’t read, can’t do math (picture cash registers)

My real concern is what’s going to happen to Easy Bake Oven (and I’m sort of serious here). I loved my Easy Bake Oven. I’d hate for a world to exist where that wasn’t something that children “played” with.

Hell, to show just how energy efficient we are, we don’t even have Christmas lights out. (Though I do plan on putting up the tree tomorrow now that the stand has arrived.)

Is that an Obama gown?

Don’t forget about him remind us to regularly clip coupons from the Sunday circular, or join the price plus club at the local grocery store.
