Yeah, as I said in a comment I left on her video, what I found most disturbing was her video was not the slapping of the kids but her own seeming illiteracy.

Some reading material for you guys. Stay safe!



Oh, and one for Rourke.

Natural Harvest 

Wow, you just made my day, Detlev. That made me laugh so loud that everyone turned around to stare at me in the mensa. I needed that.

Madeline B.'s comment is my favorite.

By the way, did you know that computer-generated (literally, machine-written!), print-on-demand books now outnumber real books on Amazon? It's amazing. A company called VDM Verlag has basically flooded Amazon.com with hundreds of thousands of volumes with weird, random-sounding titles. These "books" are basically machine-assembled collections of articles -- most ripped verbatim from Wikipedia, complete with all errors and without even so much as a reformatting. As of April 2010, their offerings comprised a stunning 1/35th of all titles available on Amazon .

I love the title of this book: USS Dempsey(DE-26): Insert Subtitle.

Public proposals are a big pet peeve of mine -- I think they are patently unfair to the woman -- so I respect this woman for walking away. I never know whether to believe videos like this or not, though. It could have just been staged.

Another thing you and I agree on, Rourke. Sometimes the degree to which we agree is scary.

Speaking of agreers, where the eff has zombieslayer gone? Someone has to tell him that working so hard is for people in Minnesota and North Dakota who have nothing better to do.
