I'm so weirded out by the hair alone. ;-)<br /><br />Less celebrities and quasi-celebrities everywhere would be awesome. Like that Snooki chick.

(When did we decide that we wanted to stop living the American way and become extremists ourselves?)<br /><br />I would love to see more action on truly, fully supporting our military service members instead of treating them like chumps.<br /><br />They should be far better compensated for their service and when they finish their service they should get all the benefits our taxes can give them. And, yes, I am for any necessary tax hike that would be directed solely at providing for our military--not just for the gear, but truly for the men and women and their families who do so much so that I can sit on my hind end in Chicagoland and write and generally go blithely through my charmed life. That we can't take good care of these people who take care of us and our way of life is pathetic.<br /><br />One of my ideas: if you have served in the military (and, why not toss police and fire-fighters into the deal?) not only you but your spouse and children should get free-rides at full tuition to any school for which you qualify academically, primary or secondary, in the US.<br /><br />Oh, and that reminds me: I'd also like to see us paying a lot more attention to teachers and how we qualify and pay them. We're entrusting much of our future to these people and we ought to be choosy and then pay those we chose really well instead of always trotting out that nonsense about how they have it so great because of the "vacation" time!<br /><br />Okay, I'll stop now.Vicky Politonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-89423394660140583312010-08-04T08:44:53.943-04:002010-08-04T08:44:53.943-04:00That's one of the reasons I only read the TV, ...That's one of the reasons I only read the TV, comics and sports section of the Daily News; and on Sunday the "life" section.Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978384022143035332noreply@blogger.com
