The search for perfect fairness marches on. French President Francois Hollande has proposed banning homework as part of a school reform package:
French schoolkids already put in long school days: 8:30 to 4:30 or longer. But that's not Hollande's concern. In fact, he wants to extend the school week from 4 days to 4.5.
Don't get complacent about the squirrel population explosion. They're spying on us, you know.
I agree -- wish we were hearing about judicial nominations from the presidential candidates:
Some men in a small Maine town are probably getting more than a little nervous about now:
KENNEBUNK, Maine — Police on Monday released the first round of names of more than 100 men accused of paying for sex with a Zumba instructor who's charged with turning her dance studio into a brothel in this seaside community.
Hey, dudes, bet you thought "hip right-winger" was an oxymoron:
DENVER (AP) — It's not all hippies backing November's marijuana legalization votes in Colorado, Oregon and Washington.
Huh. Never thought of "stressing women out" as part of my job description:
A new study has found that a woman’s sensitivity to stress is heightened by reading bad news stories.
The same study also reportedly found that men are not affected the same way by similar press coverage.
Kind of bad news that women get more stressed by bad news, isn't it? Ho hum. Don't care. Time to move on.
The conservative Weekly Standard has an interesting and (I think) perceptive look at how Indiana's "people's choice" health-care approach offers a good alternative to the top-down Obamacare's approach:
Both jittery church goers and smug atheists are making too much out of that Pew poll revealing that a fifth of the U.S. public, and a third of adults under 30, aren't affiliated with any religion today, a 15 percent increase in the past five years:
Sigh. I could have gone all week without reading this:
The number of Americans reading print newspapers, magazines and books is in rapid decline.
I guess we all know what happens next:
(CNN) -- There's no escaping the fact that the Human Brain Project, with its billion-dollar plan to recreate the human mind inside a supercomputer, sounds like a science fiction nightmare.
