Quick Observations of late...
“Give Blood—And there are some that say, it’s not enough”
“Give Blood” by Pete Townshend of the WHO
I noticed that the Olympic viewing is down—hmmm…what could be the reason…hmmm…Oh I know—IT IS BORING—and I know why. I have looked for and not found when HOCKEY is on. Other than football, my favorite sport to watch is HOCKEY. So, why does NBC not show it? Every time I turn on the Olympics, I see skating and couples skating, and speed skating. Enough of it, I want to see skating where people are clobbered—hence HOCKEY. Show some ‘eh! I want BLOOD!!!!
“Feeling guilty, feeling scared—hidden cameras everywhere
Paranoia meet destroyer”
“Paranoia” by Ray Davies of The Kinks
I write one sarcastic commentary about Vice-President “Dick” Cheney and my blog profile goes from 30 hits to 70. Hmm…I wonder if my lines are wire tapped as well.
“I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don’t forget your books, you know you’ve got to learn the Golden Rule”
--“School” by Supertramp
Are kids becoming less intelligent? I think not when it comes to the girls. According to a recent study in Time, boys are slipping through the cracks. The time article points to video games as a major motivator. I strongly disagree. Why are boys slipping? Girls. If some of you reading this have high school age girls, you would not be shocked at what they wear at times—the rest of you, I mean, it is more like a burlesque show—and let’s face it, I am not a prude in any manner. I think this is the most annoying part of revenge when it comes to women—they want to leave men in their wake—and they are using sex appeal to do it. Sigmund Freud was right.
“Bear Down Chicago Bears”
Bears Theme Song
The Bears are looking at Antwone Randal El for a wide receiver spot. Say “Good Bye” to Justin Gage. I say “Good riddance.”
“What can this strange device be; when I touch it, it gives forth a sound”

Best New Groups.
Looking for some interesting music? Hey, why not, we all are. The Killers are a great band from the UK and I highly recommend the Fall Out Boy CD. I know they are poppy and all, but their songs are catchy and fun. Franz Ferdinand is incredible as well. My students lent me the new System of a Down (not for me) and Him (equally annoying). One student burned a Test Ickles CD—which no matter how bad they are, they have a great name. I remember when some friends of mine and I wanted to start a punk band and named ourselves Genghis Kahn and the Con Men. We never really played but we wrote a few songs Wow What A Rush When The Toilet Won’t Flush and Your Mom Wears Pink—pseudo Ramones-induced Punk. The latter song was my favorite about a creepy kid next store checking out his friend’s mom when she changed clothes with the classic lines “Your Mom wears pink; I ain’t wrong; Your Father stinks; So does this song.” Classic—fill in your favorite three chords played extremely fast and you get the idea.
“Baby It’s Cold Outside…”
When I was a kid, it seems winters were colder and lasted longer. Global warming; it’s a bear. I never really thought about it much, but here is my gage of bad weather. If the weather is bad, my district will call off school. In the last five years in Central Illinois, our district has called school off twice. Two days in five years; that is unreal. We are warming up and to a degree; it’s not bad because I hate driving in the snow. On the other hand, I love those days off.
“So fond of the fabric So fond of fabrication From comic books to tragic Through the heart of complications”
“King Horse” by Elvis Costello
Comic News
DC is revamping everything and most comic geeks like it. Not me; I am a bit bored. They took years to make Batman gritty and kind of amoral; and now they will throw it away to make him more “kid friendly.” How annoying. They also plan to change Flash, Hawkman, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman. I love it when they try to make sense of comics. I mean, really, is there a reason for this? Readers can ignore the fact that Batman does not age as easily as they ignore the fact that flight for Superman defies the laws of physics. He has no propulsion and no steering mechanism, but he flies. Move on—if people are really concerned about reality in comics, why not point out that there is no law enforcement official in the world who would hold back trained officers in catching criminals just so some nut job dressed as a Bat, a Spider, A Hawk, Robin Hood, or any number of other costumes could do so. He’s being fired in a week. Leave comics alone—we know its fantasy.
“And In The End”
“Abbey Road Medley” by Sir Paul McCartney of the Beatles
The most stupid educator in the word award goes to….
David Irving who is a “right wing” British Historian who denied there was a Holocaust and said Hitler was unaware of anything. This guy is not only a God-awful teacher, but he is the worst historian I have ever heard of. As a history teacher, I think two years of jail is not enough—I say spend the rest of his life there and we will deny you ever went. Oh, and besides being a God-awful teacher and a horrid historian; people in authority who spout this sort of crap are also lousy human beings.
Until next time America…(that was in case Bill O’Riley wants to sue me)

Eric:
I heard that Cheney's approval rating shot up to 90% because he shot a lawyer but then when people realized the lawyer lived, it went back to 35%.
