The White House Correspondents Dinner

Posted in Monkey Wash Donkey Rinse on April 30, 2006 | 15 Comments »

Boy, a bunch of people with leftward sympathies are extremely thrilled with Stephen Colbert’s speech at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
I admit that I’m most decidedly not seeing this through the most even-handed point of view in the world. While GWB is not my favourite of Presidents by a long (long) [...]

A Kindergarten Teacher Sounds Off On Childhood Obesity

Posted in Monkey Wash Donkey Rinse on April 30, 2006 | 3 Comments »

Yes, I know my sister is not the early childhood expert that Two Quarters Shy Of A Buck is, but she does have a degree in elementary education and spends all day with about thirty kids. I heed her words of wisdom, elevated from comment status:
They are working on passing a law now [...]

Sunday Afternoon Stuff

Posted in Monkey Wash Donkey Rinse on April 30, 2006 | 4 Comments »

? I’ve switched to “Blogrolling” for my blogroll. It’s supposed to be easier to add URLs. It is. I also like the “new post” flag. Unfortunately, this only seems to work on certain blogs. So I’m still stuck actually clicking through to others. It bothers me [...]

My friend and official blogfather, Patrick has been picked up by NiT for announcing to the world that he is tired of hearing “at the end of the day.” (I personally have steered him away from all performances of Les Miserables, as I can only assume this would cause his head to explode.) [...]

RIP Franklin Main Street Festival

Posted in Monkey Wash Donkey Rinse on April 29, 2006 | 5 Comments »

I really think the Franklin Events Community needs to adjust their dates for the Main Street Festival. Last year was just like this–grey, cold, windy and blech. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I personally don’t find myself in the mood for cotton candy, corn dogs and hippie yarn crafts when [...]

The Man Who Hasn’t Seen Jaws raises an interesting point.
Families with multiple children used to survive on one income. Now two people in their twenties who work themselves to the bone can’t barely find a way for one of them to take a year off so they can have ONE kid.

I really don’t have much to say about this story. I just really wanted to be one of about 90,000 bloggers who will use that headline when talking about it.
I do think the Star Spangled Banner should be sung in English. But if you want to try to hit that ball-busting high [...]

The Bitchy View

Posted in Monkey Wash Donkey Rinse on April 28, 2006 | 6 Comments »

I never watch “The View”. Okay, there was that one time, but just to see Vin Diesel. And, oh yeah, that other time to see Daniel Day-Lewis. In short, I don’t watch “The View” for its stable of nattering chattering gals, but for its rotating crop of mens.
So, [...]
