Lamya Cammon, like most first grade students, can get a little annoying.  After all, she’s a little kid, and while they have a concept of the word no, they don’t really get it, nor do they really pay attention when you repeat to them, over and over, to stop being obnoxious.  That’s why when Lamya wouldn’t stop playing with the beads in a particular strand of braided hair, the teacher called her to the desk and cut one of her braids off.

The teacher earned a little peace and quiet, but she also picked up a $175 fine for disorderly conduct and a very irate mother has been added to the weight on her back.  Quoth the offended mom:  “Why would we want someone like that teaching our kids? We trust our kids once they go to school to be safe.”  Or, you know, you could give your child a non-obnoxious hairstyle?

Of course, the child is safe.  I mean, it’s not like the teacher shaved Lamya’s head; she just chopped off the end of a braid.  I remember braids like those, and the click-clack of beads together is quote possibly the most annoying thing I’ve ever heard, aside from a tongue stud clicking on teeth.   Given that little kids never listen, and the teacher has already apologized, Lamya needs to come back to school with a noise-free hairstyle and all of this should be forgotten.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
