Barak Obama Hates Children
He does. I'm not just saying it because his little "Stimulus" spending bill will be for my children and grandchildren to pay, or because it's likely that his administration will institute energy taxes that will make parenting expensive. His rolling back of the wellfare reform will probably lead to more of one class of children being born -- ( Read more... ) -
Messiah Voices Concern
Not that it's surprising or anything. He took his sweet time to issue a simple statement in support of Israel, but once he figured sufficient amount of casualties mounted on Palestinian side, Obama is deeply concerned about Gaza. When he was silent on Israeli self-defense, we were reminded that hey, we only have one President at a time. (No ( Read more... ) -
Generation X invents Nesting, Parenting and Pretty Much Everything Else

Human Stupidity Knows no Boundaries
When fellow parents talk economics on the playground, I bite my tongue. There is one commie Chomskiate dad who has a habit of going on and on about how American corporate law is deeply flawed and how if you read BBC and NYT you can learn which companies are moral and invest in them. He also likes to poke fun of the idea of privatizing Social ( Read more... ) -

Fruitcakes... What are they going to come up with next?
Joanne Davidson shares her parenting wisdom, but not before she gives us her short history of time-outs:
“Time Out” has become an icon for parenting, care-giving and supervising children. Most homes, daycares, church nurseries and other established places ( Read more... )
