Film Industry-Guv's pet project [ Tue Jan 26 2010 10:37 AM ]

I highly doubt he will let any bill that cuts the film industry go through (seeing that he has the power to veto). They need to tax more out of state corporations and the wealthy (seeing they don't pay their correct share of taxes but instead get tax cuts) for starters.
I hardly get sad by national news anymore, but man, a 9 year old committing suicide just has me dazed.

diarrhea of the mouth [ Tue Jan 26 2010 12:59 PM ]

I do believe I've written this before, my fourth grade teacher used to make us wear a big paper tongue around our necks that said "i've got diarrhea of the mouth" on it when we wouldn't shut the hell up.
I would suggest the teacher in the article try that rather than taping the poor kid's mouth shut.

Poor Kid? [ Tue Jan 26 2010 1:34 PM ]

That little fuck got all ones on his progress report. I sincerely doubt that has been the first time he's been told to not talk while the teacher is talking, to pay more attention, etc.
So he has ADHD? Every fucking kid, when I was about that age, claimed to have it/parents swore they had it. Maybe the unnecessary amounts of ritalin my generation consumed is to blame for the incredible amount of idiots who are now adults.

I'm not mad at that teacher [ Tue Jan 26 2010 2:31 PM ]

for the taping of the mouth, but rather the misspelling of "diarrhea" on the note. That's the real travesty.
