Mother of All Posts
I have quite a few things to write about but haven't had the energy to do it. In part because:
I've had a cough for about 3 weeks now that just won't go away. The last I had this was a couple of years ago. At the time I went to the UCLA student health center and they prescribed Z-Pack (the mother of all anti-biotics). BAM! Cough and everything else that goes with it....gone. Fast forward to last Monday. The NP at the Tang Center prescribed gues what? Flonase and Sudafed. (My nose is and has been completely dry). The cough remains. She said I could go back in a week if the cough persisted. I'm counting the hours and the steroid sprays up my nose.

If you're trying to cut down on fat consumption don't do it on something as fat-laden as peanut butter...something will inherently go wrong. I recently purchased "Jif Reduced Fat." I read the nutritional facts, but not much else. At home I noticed the TRUE fine print.
"Jif reduced fat spread contains 60% peanuts."
"Jif tastes like peanuts."
Anyway, you get the idea...I fell for that Miracle Whip rip-off shit.

Lastly there is this item via Yahoo News about a Texas School Board adding an ELECTIVE Bible course. The ACLU is of course jumping into the frey, but I see this as much ado about nothing. My high school (public) had an elective Bible as a Lit course.
I do take exception to the School Board's justification for the course. I highly doubt you need to be the Son of a Preacherman to fully appreciate Da Vinci's Last Supper.

I agree with you on the Bible thing - much ado about nothing.
I wish the ACLU would do something worthwhile for a change -- like go away...
By the way, I'm glad to see a reference to a Dusty Springfield song.
A'nOL, I've been having pizza with hot sauce the last 3 weeks. :)
BA, I wish the ACLU would look closely at the curriculum to ensure it's not a course on oh say, "the one path to salvation through our lord and savior Jesus Christ." Anytime a school board votes for a high school class that has Bible in it with Bible thumpers in the audience calling for "more religion in public schools" it should raise red flags for ANYONE.
So the knee-jerk conservative reaction regarding the ACLU is not only unwarranted in general, it's unwarranted specically here.
