CA Drunk Funny

 Naked drunk woman drives car into her naked fiance

The California Highway Patrol had their hands full early Thursday morning when a naked drunk woman drove into her equally naked fiance. Bravo walked in front of the car and the female accelerated and struck him, and he landed on the hood of the car. She then abruptly applied the brakes and lost control.
 

Drunk driving:  In Californina they do it naked. In Kentucky they don't spill their beer.  How do they do it in your neck of the woods?

Thata Girl!

In Kentucky, they are right proud of her.

KNOXVILLE — Despite allegedly striking a deputy's cruiser head-on, then running it off the road and leading authorities on 10-minute chase spanning two counties before crashing, she apparently never dropped her beer.

You can't make this stuff up. 

Good News

From the Washington Times:

In a case freighted with major constitutional implications, a federal appeals court on Friday overturned President Obama’s controversial recess appointments from last year, ruling he abused his powers and acted when the Senate was not actually in a recess.

In other words, Obama broke such an obvious law, that even the far left liberal rubber stamp federal court system AND the uber liberal Washington Times have to admit that he is in the wrong.  One can only hope this is the start of trend in recognizing and calling attention to his illegal activities.

It occurs to me that flies are generally attracted to great big steaming piles of BULL STUFF.

Could it be the Taxes?

My guess is nothing will be done about this and you won't hear the MSM croning over this tid bit of tax evasion:

US pop legend Tina Turner, who has been living in Switzerland since 1995, will soon receive Swiss citizenship and will give up her US passport, Swiss media reported Friday.
 

I have no problem with what Tina is doing.  I think she should be free to ditch the US and live in CH or anyplace else she wants.  That said, where is the hand wringing and liberal angst over a high income earner ditching her US tax obligation?  Every time I see a story about a rich white person going someplace where they are raped less on their taxes, there is an out cry about how unpatriotic they are.

Flipping the School Day

When I first saw the title of this article "More Teachers 'Flipping' The School Day Upside Down", I let out a sophomoric giggle.  Long ago I learned that public school was a waste of time designed to destroy students minds and house their bodies for the benefit of others.  I first learned this in third grade when my family moved from a rural school district where they still actually cared about the kids in their charge, to a dysfunctional gulag designed to enrich the members of the teachers union, kids be damned.  At the time I did not have the ability to reason all of that out.  I did know one thing  school was a bad place to be.  Only later in life did I realize to what extent American public schools were broken.

The fact that American Public education is broken is obvious to everyone that is not dependant on public funds, or a graduate of the system.  It's gotten so bad that even public school graduates are refusing to send their own children into the meat grinder.  What other option exists?  In the past you had a choice between private schools, if you could afford them or public.  As time went on homeschooling gained in popularity.  Of course they developed a sort of public private hybrid, the charter school.  The public schools, where most kids are, still are lagging behind. 

Which is one of the reasons that I applaud the "flipping" concept that they are trying in the article.  Recording lectures as data files that can be watched on an I Phone, and letting the kid watch it at home.  Is a great idea.  Then when the kids come to class they use the class time as sort of a lab, where they are able to work through the material with the teacher.

As the program stands now, it seems like it would be a little awkward and not as efficient as it could be.  It's a step in the right direction.  I can see a time when this method of learning is decentralized completely.  When that happens the kids will have a tremendous learning opportunity.  Hopefully this kind of non traditional thinking will help turn the public schools around.  After all, most of America's kids are still in a public school.  As a nation we can't expect good things will come from a broken system.
