Finally I can report that the Detroit Public School Board of Education has done something I agree with although I think it was more of a political or jockeying for power move for some board members rather than a legitimate move. Nonetheless the DPS board voteed against backing bond issue otherwise known as Proposal S. The $500 million bond issue Detroit voters will decide on the Nov. 3 ballot got the...
Two of L.A.'s most listened to Hate Talkers are John and Ken on KFI. They're kind of funny and whacky and what they hate is anything that is vaguely progressive.

When Alan Grayson caused a stir by pointing out that Republican health...

I’m not exactly sure why the Tribune can’t use the word “farting.” That’s not a swear word. That’s not even close to a swear word. If swear words were a ballpark — let’s say Wrigley Field, and not just because I do most of my best swearing when I’m drunk and watching the Cubs play [...]
Chicago Bears players have instituted a $20 fine for passing gas during team meetings. " Mark Anderson might be the worst ever," teammate Anthony Adams writes on his blog. "He takes these protein shakes, so he smells like little babies do."
The issuance of flatus during film sessions is enough of a disruptive force for the Bears that any player who lets one loose is slapped with a $20 fine.
