Some Thoughts On Addiction
Perhaps, but I have also known so much joy so young, and I have gained the perspective to appreciate it.
Not A Dog's World Anymore
So lips and poopholes can go into the chicken nuggets we feed our kids, but bones are dangerous? Um, okay.
Some Thoughts On Addiction
My heart breaks for you sometimes, that you have known so much sorrow so young. As you said, live life.

But if they weren’t married yet, did he *really* cheat on her? Hmmm????
Oh well, Jed, here’s your chance. Catch her on the rebound. Her expectations are probably pretty low at this point. 
Pathetic Test Scores In Milwaukee
Folkbum,
I don’t have a problem with teachers. I think that the vast majority of them are good, honest, hard-working, dedicated people. I’m the son of a teacher and have spent my fair share of time “behind the scenes” in schools. What I have a problem with is the Union which puts the needs of the union and the educracy above the needs of the kids.
I expect Milwaukee’s scores to be below most of the state. It has a disproportionately large portion of the poor and disadvantaged in it. I do expect, however, much better than 35%. That’s just pathetic.

In fact, triticale, you are right: The test from 02-03 was exactly the same as the test from 01-02. So the scores were somewhat higher than they could have been that year.
The 01-02 test was also given in the fall--November--while the 00-01 test had been given in the spring--April, I think. So scores were lower in 01-02.
Given that, I think we are actually showing steadiness, if not modest growth.
Yes, I say we--I am an MPS teacher, a high school English teacher in fact. I won’t bother to get into why Milwaukee scores are low, since I doubt, Owen, it will change your opinion of me.

Those numbers are oddly non-linear. The fluctuations, especially for tha American Indians, are too big to be statistical noise. They all tend to move up and down together, which leads me to suspect that the test was not consistantly difficult.

WILDEY SURVIVOR
The Wildey was featured in one of the Death Wish movies, Bronson (natch) starring. Or maybe, considering the quality of the movie, it was actually the Wildey starring. I have a hard time deciding.

Sorry, I am not now, nor will I ever be, man enough to wear pink.
At least not while Mary Kay is still in business.
Russ Feingold Launches His Reelection Campaign
You’ve got an uphill climb, conservatives. With April’s statewide poll showing 51% wanting Feingold re-elected and only 29% saying “nay;” and with the recent poll showing that 36% of Republicans have a favorable impression of Feingold; and with Darrow having a history of contributing to past Feingold campaigns...Michels, Darrow, and Welch better hope for a major Feingold screw-up between now and November or they have little or no shot.
Russ Feingold Launches His Reelection Campaign
Grrrrrr...So many thoughts about this…
First of all (finger wagging/neck waving), didn’t we fight a big, huge war once when the feds tried to make the states do something that they felt wasn’t in their best interest?
Second, won’t adding another layer to the health care system (and a really, really thick layer, no less) just make everything more expensive and open healthcare up to even more corruption?
Third, didn’t Feingold already screw up our country by starting this whole ridiculous campaign finance reform shit that restricts free speech and expands political corruption?
So to quote Tim Michels (http://www.michelsforsenate.com/), “It’s time for new leadership!” And Russ Darrow (http://www.russdarrowsenate.com/): “Russ Feingold is the Wrong Russ.” And Bob Welch (http://www.votewelch.com/): “Russ Feingold is out of step with the values and concerns of a majority of citizens in Wisconsin.” And Robert Gerald Lorge (http://www.law2win.com): Well, all the links on his site are broken, but I’m sure he’d have similar thoughts.
Get involved. Know the candidates. Donate time and money to their campaigns. Russ Feingold has had 6 years to damage our country and embarrass our state. Today he outlined his plan of destruction for the next 6 years. Don’t let him do it.
Russ Feingold has 6 months to suck up to Wisconsin voters. The Republican candidates have to suck up to just the Wisconsin Republican voters for 4 months yet before they can work on the rest of the state. It ain’t going to be easy, but it has to be done. Russ Feingold simply cannot be our Senator for the next 6 years. He is Wisconsin’s very own weapon of mass destruction.

Well, at least they aren’t dumb enough to buy heels. Yet.

Basically, the screen on the phone is just like any other XML display. You can program it to be a webpage that liks to streaming video from wherever you like. I don’t know if HBO offers streaming video, but many other stations do.

I would probably get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and realize too late that the first step is a doozy.

Yeah, Buffalo is so over-unionized that we missed out on the last two economic booms. It’s like we’ve been in a recession for 15 years or so.

I’d spend the entire night wondering about the strength of the stitches holding the bottom to the sides.

I don’t see how people can sleep like that. I would spend the entire night terrified that I would fall. I say just keep slogging along until you reach the top, THEN bed down.
Nazi Row Mars German Leader Vote
Filbinger is not just an ex-Nazi. Häes an ex-Nazi judge who sentenced a lot of people to death for desertion or resistance. This last came up when he was forced to setp down as governor. He defended himself at that time (late 1970s) by saying, “What was right back then can’t be not right now.” Bad choice of words maybe, but hardly what you want to hear from a governor.
Incidentally, Filbinger is hardly an exception in being an ex-Nazi who went to on to a successful career in business or politics after the war.

Bad point: I got here via a link from Wizbang, and there’s apparently no link to your main page from here. So, if I want to read anything you may have written more recently, I have to go somewhere else (like Harvey’s) to find a blogroll link to your front page....

I bet those striking workers are kicking themselves now. They could have had a ridiculous amount of overtime this week with all the lines down because of the storms. Yea, unions!

Re the templates: that one went right by me because I have never liked trying to work with CSS. The only CSS element I have ever used on my blog affects the display characteristics of links, and all the rest are HTML.
Which in one way made translating my templates easier that it apparently was for you, but I’m procrastinating about bringing some of the other templates into compliance because even a minor PITB is still a PITB.
As for the MT archives and someone commenting on one, my troubles with MT3 rather nicely protected me from that problem. It wasn’t accepting new comments at all, and on the day I finally decided to do s0omething about the problem I also discovered my login and password had quit working.
The upshot is that I decided I couldn’t import the posts anyway, so since all content including comments was preserved in HTML I just use the “dead” HTML pages as archives of the posts I created in MT.
That’s the Reader’s Digest version of my experience. The gory details are spread across several posts both in the MT-created archives and on the EE blog.
Haven’t implemented Captchas yet, but if my most recent and annoying comment spammer returns I will.

OK, my thoughts…
Talk on the phone - Personally, I don’t have trouble if I’m using my headset, but I’ve seen people that can’t drive while on the phone. Though I have reservations that they drive all that much better while not talking on the phone.
Put on makeup - agreed, that’s dangerous. I’d modify that to encompass all personal hygiene actions, shaving and driving doesn’t work well either.
Drink - ok, that’s why we have CUPHOLDERS!
Eat - agreed.
Smoke - Oh, yes, a 2-hour commute without a cigarette. That’s going to happen. I’ll make sure to bring a chicken plate and sidearm as well, I’ll be needing it.
Interact with pets or kids - define “interact” a little better. I’m not going to ignore my kid, ever. If the dog is with us, she stays in the back seat where she belongs, as she was trained to do.
Read - agreed, obvious
Write - agreed, see above
Tune the radio - So I can’t switch between traffic and music? In California, the radio controls YOU!
Program a hand-held device - Agreed
I am completely for regulating any action that takes the focus of attention off the road, such as eating, reading, building ships in bottles, ect. whist driving. Saying that changing the radio station distracts me is just plain dumb.
Hell in a hand-basket, I say.

Just an added bonus of the switch from MT to EE.

Part of me hopes this passes the California House, too, just so I can see what the Governator does with it. I haven’t heard much about the man since the inauguration.
