I reserve more of my disgust for the parents who exploit their children for money. I don't like Dr. Phil and I still don't understand how he is given access to so many people in difficult or fragile circumstances.

Pills or functioning alcoholic. I don't see drunk though.

Did she think this was an audtion for a Law and Order guest spot?

Mittens 'Merica!

The context just means he is sexist and racist. Wonderful!

When did Democrats and Liberals become anti-union and pro No Child Left Behind? Evaluating teachers with standardized tests was from No Child Left Behind and union bashing is out of the Republican play book. Unions and labor organizations are the reason for any of the labor laws we have today. I just don't…

With the Chris Brown tattoo picture and David Albert Mitchell picture I can't help but draw parallels. Pretty similar but one has an agent and a PR person.

YES!

I don't teach. I considered it but still think about going to it but I just couldn't handle the Acute Moronitis and Parent Idiotis combined with Administration that has never taught in a classroom.

They aren't rejecting any form of evaluation. Also, that average, 76 grand, they quote is a MEAN and not the mode or median. Meaning it is not the most common occurring wage or the middle wage. I don't know a single CPS teacher that makes 76 grand and i my CPS salary knowledge is based on knowing over a dozen,…

Did you hear that? It was women's equality taking a gigantic step backward.

He means well but he just has no idea.

Just wait till Blake finds out about Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place. Yes, I know they changed it to just Two Guys and a Girl.

I always picture Richie Rich.

Yes please! You should do movie reviews but have it be more like commentary during the movie and have your boyfriend tape it. Like the real time moview reviews Jezebel did for Twilight.
