My husband and I were in a conference with our child's middle school principal and he told us, "the main job of the school ISN'T to educate the children. The main job of the school is to 'socialize' the children." It was then we decided to home school, and then send our remaining two to a charter school.

The first couple of years an obscene amount of money (funds that could have been used better elsewhere) was spent on legal fees so that California wouldn't shut them down.

I hope no stalkers are able to use this list. But I also see a need to verify.

(I know I've seen that movie.) And (as long as I'm here) I wish you would caption your photos. So often I have to sift through the entire posting, looking to see what movie or what actor I'm seeing at the top of "The Daily Call Sheet," Mr. Nolte. Thanks.

I remember Newt. I loved Newt in the beginning of his Contract with America. But I watched Newt go power mad. I am a woman who used to adore Newt. I used to listen to his lectures and think, "I AGREE WITH THIS GUY." But I wised up. I am NOT a country club republican. I am NOT for Mitt. I don't know who I'm "for" now--but I know I'm NOT FOR NEWT. (And I'm tired of being accused of being a liberal--or a rino when Newt's record is WAY MORE RINOish than I've ever been.)

In fact I demand it. And I want to see how the entire media filled out their tax forms. Fair is fair.

Actually, the whole ensemble was PERFECTLY cast. One of the few tv shows we had set to record every week. (And I own the DVD's of the first two years. I missed the first year.)

I will vote for him in if he is the nominee, but I won't vote for him in a primary. (I will probably write in Herman Cain.) But I thought he handled John King perfectly.

IF an atheist went on CNN and spoke about how (s)he had had a change of heart during prison and now tried to be a better person--with NO reference to any deity at all, I think I would respect and be happy for that person too. Stop projecting, Mike878. Everyone doesn't see the world like you do.

I can't even blame it on a typo. It was a brain freeze. (How could I mix up Eric Clapton with Ray Davies?) Thanks Martin. You're completely correct.

Now, if a contract is broken, then a person has the right to sue (which is what Mr. Stein did.) But as far as not hiring someone in the FIRST PLACE because of their politics--a company is free to do that. (And I am free to avoid any company who uses--oh I don't know--say Alec Baldwin as a spokesperson.)

I don't go to a movie because nothing looks good. But those who interpret trends may think I don't go because movies aren't violent enough, or are too moral. That is not the case, but trend interpreters are free to tell others why I do what I do--even if they are completely wrong. This is similar to media interpreters claiming that I didn't vote in the last election because my choices were too conservative.

I thought Tiger and Bunny was the best new anime I've seen for a while. (Except that I resisted watching it at first because the name was so silly. I just knew it was going to be a preschool anime.)
