- DaughterGeeding is in kindergarten. One of her homework assignments this week is to memorize sections of the introduction and preamble of the Declaration of Independence, something I think that was assigned to me in the seventh grade. You know those parts, “When in the course of human events . . . . We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created, equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

- I don’t think a new reality TV judge should be nominated until we have a new president so we can let the people decide – Sarah Palin to host reality show as TV judge – The former Alaska governor, who does not have a law degree, signed a deal with Montana-based production company Warm Springs for a reality court show that would premiere next year if it’s picked up by stations, according to Howard Bragman of Fifteen Minutes PR, which represents the production company.
- I know most of my readers aren’t a fan of President Obama and are critical of him attending a baseball game in the wake of the Brussels attack, but I side with Obama on this one for several reasons though I can see how he can appear remote and impassive, he’s called “No Drama Obama” for a reason. If the attack was domestic, he certainly should have returned back to Washington. It’s not like he didn’t care when he heard the news and I think he’s correct in saying we can’t let terrorists disrupt our daily lives and quoting David Ortiz that terrorists can’t dictate our freedom. And finally, it’s not like he stayed the whole game, he just stayed for three innings.
