More Weiner

I really think this guy must be a pill to be around, but he sure is funny with all his antics. In truth, I worked with a guy just like this. I found him very taxing very quickly...but in small doses he was amusing.

Abuse in schools

Republican Cathy Rodgers & Democrat George Miller -- both US Representatives -- are teaming up to propose federal legislation that would regulate the use of restraints at schools, which are currently regulated by states. Federal regulations were put in place in 2000 for restraints used in medical settings, but none exist for school settings thus far.

The opinion piece about this also recounts a terrible incidence when a child died from the physical restraint used by a teacher.

The country still hates Republicans.
