• NYC Public School Mandates Arabic Language Studies for All 2nd Through 5th Graders

  May 25, 2012 at 12:56am

  NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! What the hell do 2nd graders need to be learning Arabic for? They’re still getting the hang of learning just to write in English! No kid needs the pressure of having to learn a foreign language in 2nd grade! Especially a language that doesn’t even use the alphabet. I would be relieved to hear that this bright idea goes down in flames due to opposition from the parents. Shouldn’t we be concentrating on getting 2nd through 5th graders better at spelling, writing and composition in English??? Save foreign languages for way down the road. I think it’s way too early to be putting learning a foreign language on kids this young. We’re always hearing about FAILING SCHOOLS. Well, why don’t we concentrate on the things the schools are failing at instead of throwing in an additional subject to learn? Let these young kids master ENGLISH FIRST. Why don‘t they concentrate of producing more HONOR STUDENTS to bolster the school’s standing, instead of earning some MICKEY MOUSE International Baccalaureate? I call BS on this for sure!

  Any lawsuits should be THROWN OUT. An establishment cannot possibly foresee everything some IDIOT will do in their place of business. If they could, the place would be plastered with stickers: Do not allow children to put fingers in the outlets, Do not allow children to drink the laundry detergent.. They just need one extra sticker in addition to the normal ones you’d see in a laundromat: “Our Insurance Will Not Cover Behavior Deemed Stupid by a Reasonably Intelligent Jury.” People should be expected to exercise some common sense. “Your honor, I have a perfectly good explanation for what happened . . . my client is an IDIOT. I took her case with no expense to her, just to be able say that.”

  Babysitter or the moron she was with should at least be charged with child endangerment or child neglect. She’s responsible for taking care of him. Hope everyone in her neighborhood gets a good look at her (including daycare centers) and puts her on the “do not call” list when it’s time to hire someone to take care of kids. IDIOTS.

  The last few missing words from my original post were “music in heaven now”.

  I remember the first Bee Gees music I bought. It was “Fanny Be Tender” on a 45 with the RSO logo and that funny red animal on the label. I still have some albums that I should take out and play. I especially liked their live version of “Come On Over” that Olivia Newton-John also sang. I first started walking to their music in ‘06. I credit their music for motivating me to keep at it and losing 40 pounds! Since then, their songs have been about 90% of the songs of my exercise playlist. Later I got a bike and now I ride a 16 mile trail (8 miles one way) to their songs. I set up the playlist to have certain songs play during certain parts of the ride. I ride onto the trail through a gate, so I put “This Is Where I Came In” on the list to play as I’m coming back through the gate at the end of the ride. Fanny plays a couple of songs before that and by that time I’ve been on that bicycle seat for 15 miles so MY fanny be tender! “You Should Be Dancin’” starts a little before a slightly downhill part of the ride, so that gives me the momentum I need to pedal faster during that song. “I Can’t See Nobody” plays during a part of the ride where I can look out in the distance and just see a big open field. After the ride I use slower songs like “Run To Me”, “Don’t Throw It All Away“ and ”I Could Not Love You More” for the cooldown stretches. Wonderful music from talented brothers. Andy, Maurice and Robin should be getting back together and making some

  The difference between some of us and Chris Matthews is that we KNOW we’d bomb on Jeopardy and know better than to make fools of ourselves by going on the show. That “Don’t put her on Jeopardy!” line has come back to bite him in the ass.

  I think we might hear bleeps for the first time on Jeopardy if Schultz were on the show! He’d get an answer wrong and blurt out “Son of a *****!” I can just hear him when a female opponent gets right the answer he missed!
