— Ace I don't know if I buy this. Sure, it looks like maybe it's a school play, but it could just be some weisenheimers who staged it to look that way. You really don't see the full auditorium or anything.
So I'm calling tentative Shenanigans on this. And, believing it to be Shenanigans, I think it's somewhat funny.
If it's genuine, well, it's not really in good taste.

These kids are way too young to truly grasp what they are doing, however, that Tony sure is enjoying his role an awful lot. No way a school authorized this as a play, so I'd have to say it's for something else.

OT, will the SEC ban/severly restrict short selling, and is it severely political to prop up Obama by reducing the coming 'downs' of the market?
Bloomberg analyses the SEC ruling
SEC Let Politics Spur Short-Sale Decision, Sirri Says
The U.S. Securities and Exchange CommissionÂ’s decision to restrict short selling was a political decision rather than one based on evidence, according to a former agency official who says it may set a precedent for future decisions.

Even though it isn't a "school" play, I don't really think it is in good taste to have young children dress up and act out violent movies. Apparently my "sense of humor at tasteless manipulation of young children" chip is broken today.

Twenty plus years ago my wife was one of a group of people employed by a federal grant to get the unfortunate off welfare. The idea was to create a multidisciplinary team to help families with their problems and to teach them how to not be dirtbags. My wife was the team speech therapist. Anyway, as my wife was working with the preschoolers, they were playing dope dealer. They would divide the play dough or whatever up into smaller amounts, put them in plastic bags, and sell them to each other.

Not since winter 1918-19 has North Texas gone more than 166 days straight without notching 80 degrees, and that record will hold -- at least for one more year.
This past few months came close. The winter 2009-2010 recorded 161 days staying below 80, which rated a strong second.
But the chance to break the record of 1918-19 was about to come to a halt at 2 p.m. when 80 degrees was reached at Arlington and Fort Worth Alliance Airport.

WalrusRex, the kids in my son's class are doing a community project right now and I was working with the class deviant. He told me he wanted to be the "bad guy" and I said that wasn't one of the jobs. Then he said he wanted to be a police officer so he could shoot people. I told him that actually police officers try very hard not to shoot people. So then he told me he wanted to be a bad police officer.
These kids don't need any more encouragement that crime is glamorous in my opinion.

Yep it was so obvious it kind of pissed off the Obama loving Hollywood. I don't expect the show to last unless they have heavily modified the show while on its hiatus. Hell apparently they had to recut the pilot because it was even more blatantly anti-Obama than what was shown.
I kind of doubt you could make a program now that is an anti-communist allegory because they'll see that as an attack on Obama too. And that's all you really need for proof of what he is.

This is not an April FoolÂ’s joke. Sarah Palin will take her first stab at television hosting when she fronts a new Fox News series, Real American Stories, premiering Thursday April 1 at 10pmET.
Guests for the first show include country singer Toby Keith, rapper/actor LL Cool J and Jack Welch. Get excited.
The show will “focus on a range of such stories including a Marine Medal of Honor recipient who gave his live to save his comrades.” But also there will be the celebrity guests – a very broad range of celebrity guests.

I was listening to Dan Giordano on the radio and heard about a court decision to charge the father of a dead Marine $16,510 for court costs relating to his suit against those bastards from the "church" who hold up signs and yell at military funerals. I cannot effing believe it.
What kind of depraved world are we living in when you can't bury your child, who's died serving his country, without sub-humans like that trash taunting you? And for the court to charge the father?
When this group tried to do the same shit here in Oklahoma City, about three or four biker clubs stopped and then surrounded them about three blocks from where the funeral was held. They haven't been back since.

Oh, and just one more fun O/T. From Mediatate:
MSNBC continues its dominance of CNN during prime time as the 2nd place cable news outlet, while CNN remains ahead during dayside hours (with Fox News dominating in 1st place in both categories).
But a strange thing happened in the first quarter of 2010 – the 8pmET landmark show Countdown fared better without regular host Keith Olbermann than with him.
Olbermann was out all but one day during March before returning Monday due to the illness and death of his father. During that month, with Lawrence OÂ’Donnell serving as the fill-in anchor, Countdown averaged 262,000 in the demo and 1,052,000 in total viewers. In January, the program averaged 1,000 more in the demo but 49,000 less in total viewers. In February, the program had 255,00 in the demo and 963,000 in total viewers. The year-to-year difference was also least in March than January or February. Overall though, the show is down 42% in the demo and 26% in total viewers year-to-year in the quarter.
The March ratings are likely helped by the health care debate, which upped ratings across the board on cable news. And no one would say MSNBC is better off with O’Donnell instead of Olbermann at 8pmET. But it does raise the question whether Olbermann still commands the audience he once did, particularly as Rachel Maddow’s stock continues to rise (her 9pmET show performed better than Countdown in March – but that was when Olbermann was out).

This is not an April FoolÂ’s joke. Sarah Palin will take her first stab at television hosting when she fronts a new Fox News series, Real American Stories, premiering Thursday April 1 at 10pmET.
Guests for the first show include country singer Toby Keith, rapper/actor LL Cool J and Jack Welch. Get excited.
The show will “focus on a range of such stories including a Marine Medal of Honor recipient who gave his live to save his comrades.” But also there will be the celebrity guests – a very broad range of celebrity guests.

Why do I get this horrid feeling she really isn't going to run for POTUS?
We can look forward to GOP Rino's like Romney or a McClain clone. Maybe Meghan McCain could run, or maybe Charlie Crist.

"Men who are married live longer because their wives nag them to go see the doctor. "
But as with all men, they tend to lose their hearing, with advancing age (one of God's gifts), and finally see the light. Anxious to go, towards the light. What's the worst that could happen? Hell? I'm already there.

Ha! Have you ever noticed that if a little old lady dies, her husband usually dies shortly thereafter if he doesn't remarry in a year? When a little old man dies, their widows live forevah--especially if they don't remarry? I'm sure there's empirical data to back this up.

rockmom 140, re Little Shop Of Horrors (theatrical): two murders, drug abuse, violence against women, prostitution, and suicide.
Our high school put on that musical; and since the grades started at 8th ("third form"), there would have been 13 year olds in that audience.
The drug abuser is the violent asshole, and he is not glorified for what he does. The murders, yes, are more iffy (one is of the aforementioned drug-abusing woman-beater), but then the musical makes clear that the murders are causing more problems than they resolve. Don't Feed The Plant!
I suspect most of the commenters here saw it before the age of 12 as a movie. You'd have a better case against the movie, given that it ends happily...
In sum, I think your poor, fragile little darling will survive the evil which is Little Shop Of Horrors.

LL Cool J: As a rapper, I dreamed of someday being a movie star. Then when they came to me with the script for Rollerball, it was a dream come true.
Palin: Well, thanks LL. So, Jack, what did the executives at General Electric dream about while they were running one of the largest diversified conglomerates in the world?
Jack Welch: We dreamed about being rollerballers, muscles bulging, bashing faces.

Bachelors die youngest of all. Don't worry. The federal government is onto this problem and will provide mandatory nagging for a single guys. It's on page 1,487, paragraph 22, clause 7.2.3 of health scare. It's all covered ... and people earning more than $1,200/year will only be charged a minor 3.2% nagging surcharge.
