A hodge-podge* of news served hot this Monday morning

Schools bag purses in class - USATODAY.com or, why it's in the little things like banning a girl's purse that schools demonstrate how they are not about freedom of expression but about domination and control.

US economy chugs ahead despite auto and housing slumps - Yahoo! News or, how US business are succeeding in road-blocking economic independence among that pesky of servant classes, the middle class.

Dolls lose their innocence - Yahoo! News or, are we using sex to sell toys to kids or to adults?

Funk veteran Prince to play at Super Bowl show - Yahoo! News, or how to insult an aging pop star.

Iran hosts Holocaust doubters at conference - Yahoo! News or how Iranians get to do what most Republican wingnuts can't.

Would serial killer Dahmer have been an evangelist? - Yahoo! News or, how this article proves my theory that Christianity is all about sublimated cannibalism and necrophilia.

*** BTW, Hodgepodege is a wonderful dutch comfort food made of mashed potatoes, lettuce, bacon and cream that I had the pleasure to try out in Amsterdam earlier this year. I don't think Dahmer would have like it Eye-wink

Blogged at Snook, Thanks Liza!

Submitted by JJ Ross on 12 December 2006 - 11:21am.

You inspired me! See what I did with this at Snook . . .and do comment if you've a mind, and a few minutes.
This item lends itself much better to comment than the Christmas tree musical chairs being played by that airport in the news, for education commentary at least . . .
Smiling
JJ

Words to live by

From familiarity to usage to importance, social media is far more prevalent in the Inc. 500 than previous research would predict. And where these fast-growing, innovative companies lead certainly the corporate world will follow. The social media revolution is here. That opens up more opportunities for the entire ecosystem.

It must also be noted that blogs are becoming more international than could have been expected. In summary, blogging takes time, commitment, and honesty. In return connections are made that are personal and strong. Blogs are not a fad. They are no longer even an option. Those businesses that choose to remain outside this online conversation, will be sidelined. Eventually they will become extinct. The hype is real.
