Back to school.. and back to bullies.. how can you raise your kids to be nicer?

I often think back to my years in school.. I was a bit of a clown but I also tried to bully those who bullied others. I hope, maybe, that some will remember me as someone who didn’t attack the weak but almost advocated in my dark sarcastic jokes about others the weak themselves. I hope..


And now, with a son growing quickly, I hope to raise him to respect others and fight for what’s right…through humor, the power of the pen, and sometimes sarcasm directed as those who wouldn’t understand it if it hit them in the face…


Kids just sometimes suck.

Amazingly enough...

Hurricane Irene has been gone for 10 days, but there are still 90 homes and businesses in my area are without power, Luzerne County, PA .. 14 hour days by utility companies still haven’t led to these few places regaining power. I can’t imagine life without electricity.. without water.. heat.. power.. Amazing that I didn’t know this until now.. And one more example that all of those who said this past storm that slammed the East Coast was nothing much at all.. this storm hurt. Bad for some more than others.

Even more.. bad realities..

Illinois to lay off thousands of state workers by end of week…


Ford to build $1B plant, create 5,000 jobs — in India…


More restaurants target customers with food stamps…

Some more things to think about .. ponder over.. and fear?

Truly important news from Somalia continues to NOT make front pages of newspapers or top stories on nightly news

There’s a lot of news in the world.. but one place seemingly ignored all of the time is Somalia. The latest, as described by the AFP, can bring tears to your eyes:




Nearly too weak to cry, Masteha Jama Mohamed’s three-month-old daughter is barely the length of her forearm, as the severely malnourished baby struggles for survival in famine-hit Somalia.


Mohamed is herself just a teenager: the 16-year-old mother says her baby has been sick ever since she was two weeks old, and now at 2.5 kilogrammes, is still only the weight of a newborn.


But even after reaching Mogadishu’s Banadir hospital, she still fears her child might not survive
