Obama Not Perfect: He's A Hammer!

In the avalanche of information about Barack Obama from the last couple of years, I somehow missed this bit of info that the half-sister of the President-elect, who lives in England, is a fan of West Ham. With the news of his election this past Tuesday, the club have now offered him the chance to visit the grounds of the club whenever he makes his first trip to Britain.


Maybe he can somehow manage to view the movie Green Street Hooligans and get Osama bin Laden over to watch Arsenal at a London derby in East London, take out the bin Laden crew with some help from the ICF, and many wrongs in the world might be suddenly righted. In a similar vein of reality stretching, it's been announced that I've become engaged to Yamila Diaz Rahi.


In other Obama-related news, there is touchingly now a craze in Kenya, the land of Obama's father, for parents of newborns to name their children either Barack or Michelle, after Obama's wife, in the wake of Obama's historic win.

You're adopting who?

A lovely point of view from parents who adopted an autistic child, one that they had formed a relationship with before the adoption. From today's Los Angeles Times opinion section, the story is HERE.

Endless Cycle

Strange and horrifying story from Plymouth, England about a mother and her three daughters who encouraged, on video, two of their kids, a three year old girl and a two year old boy, to fight each other while they encouraged the kids. Their court case was settled, but as the judge noted, there seemed to some shades of grey in what might first appear to be a black and white case.

Won't Somebody Think Of The Children? Parents Gone Wild (Again)

Ultra-competitive dad a little bit too overly concerned about what was happening to his son. You can guess the rest.....the man says he's embarrassed about what he did, which I can believe. Kinda sucks that one really bad decision can haunt you for a very long time after you've made it.
