The Battle on ADHD
Coming home from Hockey practice, Sean Hannity had Kelly Preston on his radio show. Most people know her as the actress who was in Jack Frost or the wife of John Travolta. Today she was wearing the hat of an advocate for children who are considered ADHD, and are drugged to get them to conform.
Our son went through this experience, and we had be very firm with the educators at his school that medication was not an option. We had him assessed, and apart from some short term memory problems, he is just bored most of the day.
This is the site, Fight For Kids, that Kelly was talking about. It is informative, a little over the top, but it seems like a great resource for parents who are going through the fight with educators about medicating our children.
He’s a train wreck — a plane crash waiting to happen!
From the New York PostThe FBI, as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into the Rev. Al Sharpton, secretly videotaped him pocketing campaign donations from two shady fund-raisers in a New York City hotel room and then asking for more, it was reported yesterday.
One of the donors was later recorded on a wiretap saying Sharpton may not have reported to the Federal Election Commission tens of thousands of dollars in campaign cash, as is required by the law, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The FBI launched the probe into Sharpton’s fund-raising for his failed 2004 presidential run after his name surfaced on wiretaps in an unrelated Philadelphia City Hall corruption case, the Inquirer said.
The Post confirmed the FBI investigation of Sharpton. The two dubious donors whom Sharpton met with in the hotel on May 9, 2003 — Democratic fund-raisers La-Van Hawkins and the late Ronald White — suggested that nearly $90,000 was missing from the official campaign report Sharpton filed with the FEC.
Hawkins is currently on trial in Philadelphia on corruption charges unrelated to the Sharpton case; White also was going to be indicted, but he died before charges could be brought.
An FBI wiretap picked up Hawkins telling White he believed they had raised more than $140,000 for Sharpton in the previous quarter — but Hawkins fretted because Sharpton had reported only about $50,000 on his federal election filing.
“He’s a train wreck — a plane crash waiting to happen,” Hawkins told White about Sharpton, according to the paper.
Is this really a surprise to anyone? This man has always tried to game the system. Next stop on the train wreck will be the cries of racism, followed by demonstrations. After that the government will cut a deal and Al will be on to his next adventure.
Wow, I Never Noticed This at my Local Mall
Guys, the next time the Mrs. wants to drag you off to the Mall while the game is on, you may want to say yes. Of course I am not sure your Mall offer this. And its not valet parking.
Hat Tip: Mrs Red.
“Of course I am probably banned from the Mall at this point. No trips to Hungary for me.”
