drops of jupiter

Being a part of the military I do understand why the chain of command has reacted as it did. While she may feel empowered by posing for Playboy, but it does undermine her authority as a non-commissioned officer. Really, how can you respect the orders she gives when all you can do is picture her naked wearing only her dogtags? Me, I wouldn't mind serving with her. Heck, I say use it as a recruiting tool. And that's turning a frown upside-down.

Why is this news? Funny. Yes. I wish all 'crimes' could be this easily solved. Not that what I'm saying is this cat committed a crime.

Seriously. Death threats? Only in Texas. A pizza place is accepting pesos as a form of payment. Obviously the response should be death threats. Yeah. Look, it's not like they're accepting rocks as a form of payment. Pesos is a monetary unit, but it's just not sound financially. It's not like the distributors accept pesos too, so unless they get all of their supplies from Mexico they're going to have to take it to a bank to exchange it for US dollars. Now you've got to deal with the exchange rate. I've heard of people that just make their money from exchanging money. That's too complex for me to figure out, so when pizza chain stops making as much money as they could (I was going to say lose, but they don't lose; just not make as much) because the exchange rate fluctuates daily. Well... I'll just laugh.

Here's another instance of turning a frown upside-down. So while you're going through the inconvinence of taking off your shoes, pulling out your laptop, and emptying out your pockets, you can look down at the tray at ads for stuff that would normally go in those trays.

Spying with a coin has been around for years. The CIA used them back in the day (and I'm sure they still do) but I don't know why I'd have to be alarmed about the use of spy coins. If Russia or China really wants to know what I'm doing, that's fine. My life is pretty boring. As most of our lives are. Unless you're one of those big executives or military contractors working on top secret stuff, you don't need to worry about it. Even then, we got those briefings about SAEDA. They're not very good and haven't really been updated since the Cold War but if you're smart enough, you make the connections.

I hope this guy gets life. Ha.

well, erica chevallier might have been the most ass-kicking teacher on earth (probably not, but maybe) but if all her students could think about was her in a red bikini, i can see how admin and some parents might have been a little upset. there is the constitution; there is also "common" sense.

i think the admin would be upset that her modeling doesn't match up with moral standards, and parents are worried with the classroom environment of their children. both understandable, but it's based on the individual in question. maybe teaching in high school isn't the best place for her. one thing's for certain, i bet everyone pays attention in class, maybe not to what she's saying, but they're all awake. and "common" sense isn't as common as both of us hope it is.
