Have you seen all the hubbub about this New York Post editorial cartoon?
Seems my favoritepain in the ass civil rights activist, Al Sharpton, has decided that, at least for the next 4 years, no one shall mention anything remotely associated with President Obama, and any member of the Pan Troglodyte family within the same breath without being deemed a racist. Of course, this cartoon has nothing to do with the two most publicized news events of last week (the stimulus plan and Travis the chimp), but rather is likening President Obama to a monkey. Why have the rules changed? I think that's called hypocrisy! *rolls eyes*
Jay left a comment on my TMI Tuesday post regarding the high administrative fees associated with the United Way, and I felt it was important to point out that the United Way has extremely low administrative fees (less that 7.5% of their budget – a SUPERIOR rating according to Charity Navigator). If you are ever curious as to how your donation is spent by any charitable organization, this is a great resource!
Saturday, Cam will be helping out at the “Primetimers” (those in their 60's and beyond) event at the church. The Primetimers are having a Wii bowling tournament and apparently they needed some middle school students to help teach them how to use the Wii gaming system. Cam (and a friend) volunteered, so they’ll spend their afternoon hanging out with the sexagenarians. He makes me so damn proud at times - then he does something completely stupid and I wonder how the same child can be so sweet one moment and so clueless the next. Oh … yeah … we call those teenagers, don’t we?

I just love Chicago - so many idiots to blog about! The city has installed red light cameras that click a photo of cars running red lights, then generates a ticket (Big Brother anyone?). As if that's not enough, one of the City Alderman has introduced an ordinance that would require countdown signals at intersections with cameras, similar to those on walk lights which tell pedestrians how much time they have to cross a street. Um ... hello? Isn't that what the YELLOW LIGHT is?? A warning that the signal will soon turn red? Goodness ...
