Juan Williams A "Happy Negro"? – CNN Thinks SoPosted by Lorren on September 29, 2007
A day or two ago, CNN declared in its broadcast that Juan Williams, a frequent commentator on The O’Reilly Factor and other Fox television programs, was a “Happy Negro”.
Say what?
O’Reilly was having lunch at a Harlem restaurant with Al Sharpton, talking about how sometimes whites feared black people, and that it was primarily driven out [...]
Apple says iPhone unlocking may leave handsets "permanently inoperable"Posted by Lorren on September 25, 2007
Apple said Monday that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the Internet cause irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software, which will likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed.
In another article I found, “This has nothing to do with proactively disabling a [...]
Everyday Mathematics Makes My Head HurtPosted by Lorren on September 24, 2007
An internet friend of mine who had previously been homeschooling her 9 year old decided to send her child back to public school, at least for a semester. On the message boards she remarked that her daughter hated her new public school math class, and had even cried during math. She was using [...]
How Can You Tell If Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Is Lying?Posted by Lorren on
The answer, of course, is when his lips are moving.
60 Minutes this week had a hilarious interview with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today. If you’ve got it on Tivo be sure to watch it. You can hear him utter such gems* as:
What do we need a nuclear bomb for? The nuclear era has passed.
(After [...]
20/20 Tough Call Part 1: Hannah MontanaPosted by Lorren on September 23, 2007
20/20’s “Tough Call” Episode last week had a couple of controversial segments… although I suppose that all of them might have been controversial to some people. I felt like I should comment on two of them, and since they are about two completely different subjects, I’m creating two different posts.
The first tough call I [...]
Is This Normal In A 10 Month Old?Posted by Lorren on September 22, 2007
My 10 month old baby is under the 5th percentile for weight, yet he eats like it’s going out of style. He routinely goes through 3 stage 2 jars of baby food for lunch, eats Cheerios for breakfast (probably more than his 5 year old sister), and for dinner he almost always eats more [...]
Family Friendly TV During Family Hour? Maybe…Posted by Lorren on
I was watching the previews for a new CBS television show called Kid Nation, where a bunch of children end up stuck out in the middle of nowhere by themselves. From the initial description it sounds a lot like Lord of the Flies… but then the previews went on some more and it seemed [...]
Science Experiment: Even A 5 Year Old Can See That Evolution Does Not Make SensePosted by Lorren on September 19, 2007
My daughter and I are going through Bob Jones University Press’s Science 2 this year. Today we did a science experiment. We made pudding to demonstrate that evolution is nonsense.
I put the milk in one bowl, and the pudding mix in the other bowl. “How long do you think it will take [...]
Infant Shot Execution Style In Armed RobberyPosted by Lorren on September 18, 2007
Here’s one for the sick-and-twisted-morality file: a man and his infant son were shot dead during an armed robbery.
Police believe that the baby’s father drove to his friend’s house, left the baby in the car, and ended up running into the robbers instead. The robbers shot him, and on their way out, they decided [...]
Note To OJ: "Fight On" Doesn’t Mean Armed RobberyPosted by Lorren on
OJ Simpson has been recently in the headlines… this time for armed robbery. Evidently somebody ended up with some of his sports memorabilia, he found out that it was going to be auctioned off, and he was caught trying to steal it back.
While normally I really don’t care about football players, since I don’t [...]
