What is Teacher Wish Lists
What is Teacher Wish Lists
"WOOD/WOTV/WXSP and Maranda know that many teachers use up to $500 per year of their own money to buy supplies for their classrooms. That’s why we are working together to support teachers.
We are launching a program called “The Teacher Wish Lists”.
It is our effort to promote classroom support by asking families and businesses to buy classroom supplies."
And we all KNOW that teachers are underpaid and overworked, right?
Or is that overpaid and underworked.......

"Stacey Wright had more than a dozen choices when it came to enrolling three of her children in an elementary school, from charters to magnets to traditional public schools in every corner of the city.
She chose Jefferson Elementary School, the brick St. Louis public school across the street.
And for that, she may get $900."

Appeals Court: `The Tea Party' can't make Michigan ballot
Appeals Court: `The Tea Party' can't make Michigan ballot FOX 21 Online
"The Michigan Court of Appeals has decided a group calling itself 'The Tea Party' doesn't qualify for the Nov. 2 ballot because it didn't correctly show the party name on petitions.
Republicans and tea party activists say 'The Tea Party' that has nominated nearly two dozen candidates is a fake aimed at hurting them by drawing away votes from Republicans.
They've been fighting the group's efforts to get on the ballot.
The court released its decision Monday.
It says the word 'the' was not in 24-point bold face type on the petitions as required by law.
A message seeking comment was left for the lawyer representing the 'The Tea Party.'
A lawyer for the opposition says he's waiting to see if 'The Tea Party' appeals to the Michigan Supreme Court."

Is It Hot In Here? Or Is It Just You? - CNBC
"It turns out that many women like a guy who uses a tacky pick-up line.
At least many British women do.
A 'survey' done by UK online casino MrGreen.com claims that nearly 60 percent of women believe it takes a sense of humor and confidence for a guy to walk up to a woman and say, 'Did it hurt when you fell out of heaven?'
I would add that it also takes about three or four beers."

EPA Surrenders to NRA on Gun Control Issue
EPA Surrenders to NRA on Gun Control Issue - US News and World Report
"The EPA had planned to solicit public responses to the petition for two months, but this afternoon issued a statement rejecting a 100-page request from the Center for Biological Diversity, the American Bird Conservancy, and three other groups for a ban on lead bullets, shot, and fishing sinkers. The agency is still considering what to do about sinkers."
In other words, they can do whatever they want but they didn't want to do it just before an election.
Does this sound as creepy to you as it does to me?

Divorce Law Firm in New York in Split of Its Own
Divorce Law Firm in New York in Split of Its Own - NYTimes.com
"Now, Mr. Sheresky, Mr. Aronson and Mr. Mayefsky may be facing their most challenging breakup yet: their own.
Mr. Sheresky, 82, left the firm in a huff last month, claiming that his former partners reneged on a longstanding commitment to take care of him financially in the twilight of his career.
Mr. Aronson, 61, and Mr. Mayefsky, 57, denied that such a vow existed, and dissolved the partnership, forming a new one with Pamela M. Sloan, who joined the original firm in 2007.
Mr. Sheresky responded strongly Friday by filing a $26 million lawsuit in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, alleging breach of contract and fraud."
Ah, Schadenfreude!
