I read that Jermaine Jackson wants to change his name from Jackson to Jacksun. The reason for this, per Jackson, is that he loves the sun. The pronunciation won't change ad he will still go by Jackson professionally. It is hard to believe that such nonsence makes the news, but it does. I like the sun [...]
Tag: SERIOUSLY?
Yeah, I kinda’ figured that.
I started the day feeling good about myself. I felt like a bright, shiny red balloon with a beautiful colorful cascading ribbon. I was floating along happily and effortlessly without a care.

She pays $160 a week for 11 week old Lennon's care (which I understand is fairly reasonable for infant care in this area). Daycare sure has gone up over the years. I cannot imagine how some parents can afford to go back to work. [...]
The singular designation – I am North Dakotan.
I was drawn today to Teri Finneman's last Ask Your Government column. Teri's started a doctoral program and will not be doing this column any longer, but she leaves it with a powerful exit. The column addresses this question: Can someone be fired in North Dakota because they are gay? Teri went to Labor Commissioner Tony Weiler for an [...]
