NJ Teacher To Pay $22K Fine For Phone Call

Asbury Park Teacher To Pay Large Fine For 4-Minute Call Made During Class

Her lawyer says a New Jersey teacher won’t appeal a $22,000 fine for making a four-minute personal call in class.

…

Court records show the Asbury Park High School performing arts teacher was covering for another teacher in 2008 when she called suspended superintendent Antonio Lewis.

A student recorded two students dancing while Getty was on the phone and posted it on YouTube.
…
The district prohibits teachers from making personal calls while performing assigned duties.

Asbury Park High School is a comprehensive, four-year community public high school headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey. It serves prekindergarten through twelfth grade.

Can somebody explain to me why…

I was watching hockey highlights and one player through his gloves to the ice and everyone cleared out except the other player who did the same with his gloves—oh, I mean besides the two referees who were temporarily between the two about to bare-knuckle brawl. Then the fight began until the punches stopped flying. So can anybody tell me why it wasn’t stopped before it began? There was time to stop it, resources to stop it, and penalties to prevent it.

This type of fighting in little league, college, or international hockey is not tolerated. It’s against the rules, has little value to the sport except intimidation and punishment. What is the benefit to the young audience who thinks it’s cool?

I like a good fight as much as the next guy, but there is no logic to explain it. Yet it goes on…

Sports Guide Blog: More words on the subject.

Let’s move to baseball. Spitting, what’s the issue with this need for men to constantly be spitting something—saliva, tobacco, sunflower or pumpkin seeds? I mean it’s disgusting, unsanitary, and downright rude.

I went to the little league field to pitch, hit and field with the kids this weekend. The dugout was full of these leftover shell casings and bits of seed and saliva. Around pitchers mound same thing, as well as up and down the baselines and outfield. How freaken nasty!

The same field that little boys and grown men roll around on for hours in the hot sun is covered with excrement discharged from the mouth thousands of times by hundreds of people. Why is this behavior okay, what purpose does it serve?

Okay so the pro’s do it. Here’s a little notice to all the little leaguers, their parents and coaches—leave that behavior and steroid use to the pro’s—as much as you dress yourselves up in the same uniforms, buy the most expensive equipment and gear you’re not pro’s. You weren’t good enough for the pro’s when you were in your prime and no amount of dressing up in costume, or vicariously living your dream through you children, nor spitting is going to make it so now!

Worried about the spreading the flu much… Worried about getting the flu? Right.

House gets unusual raise by Ed Morrissey

“…incumbent candidates are not supposed to use public resources for their campaigns.  We have laws against that, and every blue moon someone gets investigated for it.  Salaries, travel, and supply costs should all be borne by the campaign and their contributors, not the American taxpayer.”

We American Citizens (TAX PAYERS) don’t have the time for all this crap, we’re to busy working to pay our taxes! And besides, isn’t that what we PAY THEY, the people who represent us—to protect us from thieves and marauders???

We need a better way to protect ourselves—maybe the mafia is the answer.

Who can you call for help  when you can’t go to the people whom have swore an oath to help you? No, not the Ghostbusters, Dan Akyroyd and Harold Ramis have gotten so fat they can’t get out of their own way. Bill Murray is the only one left and although seems to be someone I would like to have a beer with I’m not hoping for him to get out out of any calamity…

When you can’t go to the Cops you go to the next best thing—the Mafia.

The bottom line is we don’t have time in our daily lives to pay attention to every small detail of the things YOU do. We worry about the roof over our head, the food we need to feed our family, avoiding illness and staying healthy.

I’m telling you, if YOU don’t do YOUR job and protect us WE the People will find someone else to do the JOB…

Talk about misdirection: “this president just cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people…” —David Axelrod Is he talking about the $13 a week? Economic stimulus package on track for final votes

Officials estimated it would mean about $13 a week more in people’s paychecks this year when withholding tables are adjusted in late spring. Next year, the measure could yield workers about $8 a week. Critics say that’s unlikely to do much to boost consumption. “The most highly touted tax cut in the original proposal now translates into $7.70 a week for middle-class workers,” said Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

Obama’s Tax Cut for 95 Percent of Workers: $13 a Week

**** Axelrod: Tea Party Anger is Misdirected. Obama senior adviser says frustration over spending and taxes is “unhealthy.”

WASHINGTON — Damn the tea bags. A top adviser to President Barack Obama takes a dim view of last week’s anti-tax “tea parties,” promoted by organizers in the spirit of the Boston Tea Party. “The thing that bewilders me is this president just cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people. So I think the tea bags should be directed elsewhere because he certainly understands the burden that people face,” David Axelrod said Sunday.

The Janeane Garofalo of academia By Michelle Malkin

It’s one thing for Hollywood twit Janeane Garofalo to smear the Tea Party movement as RAAAAACIST. We expect ignorant celebrities to be ignorant. But when newspapers phone up “experts” in academia to provide commentary and analysis on social and political trends, it would be nice if they based their assessments on reality, wouldn’t it?

Bush: Obama ‘Deserves My Silence,’ Won’t Criticize New Administration

“I’m not going to spend my time criticizing him. There are plenty of critics in the arena,” Bush said. “He deserves my silence.”

Bush said he wants Obama to succeed and said it’s important that he has that support. Talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has said he hoped Obama’s Socialist policies would fail.

“I love my country a lot more than I love politics,” Bush said. “I think it is essential that he be helped in office.”

Surf and Turf anyone?

Every once in a while I get back to the stove…

Broiled (with special secret recipe seasoning) filet mignon on crispy bacon with sliced avocado and sauteed mushrooms AND a sidecar of perfectly broiled sea scallops topped with a dollop of caramelized (finely diced) onions, bacon crumbles, chives, and the tipping point—lemon zest…

I liked it—a lot!

I’m getting hungry, what time is it…

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

—Norman Thomas, former U.S. Socialist Presidential Candidate

Read all about Socialism at the Socialist Party USA site. Not the system of government I want to be a part of!

Quoting quotes from  Neo Neocon:

A lie told often enough becomes the truth.

Democracy is indispensable to socialism.

Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.

The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency.

The goal of socialism is communism.

The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.

There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience.

No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.
…
I’ve quoted the following excerpt before on this blog. I’m quoting it again now. And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if I have reason to quote it in the future.

In this excerpt Dostoevsky’s Grand Inquisitor is addressing Christ, who has returned to earth but is arrested and imprisoned again:

Oh, never, never can [people] feed themselves without us [the Inquisitors and controllers]! No science will give them bread so long as they remain free. In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet, and say to us, “Make us your slaves, but feed us.” They will understand themselves, at last, that freedom and bread enough for all are inconceivable together, for never, never will they be able to share between them! They will be convinced, too, that they can never be free, for they are weak, vicious, worthless, and rebellious. Thou didst promise them the bread of Heaven, but, I repeat again, can it compare with earthly bread in the eyes of the weak, ever sinful and ignoble race of man?

And then there’s Machiavelli.

American Leningrad – UPDATED by the Anchoress Online

Btw, socialism does not work, except in monasteries and the reason it works in monasteries is because it is voluntary. When you voted for Obama – if you did – did you think you were voting for socialism? When Obama talked to you about “remaking America” was socialism and “not wasting a good crisis” what you had in mind? Do you really think the US Constitution is fundamentally flawed, and not a bit of genius?

NiceDeb:

Cramer was right to call Obama a Leninist.

U4prez BECAUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE ADOPTED SOCIALISM

Norman Matoon Thomas believed in socialism. He had no evil intentions and he had no desire for government control. He just wanted life to be better for everyone. He just wanted to spread the wealth and did not trust free markets. But the only way for government to foster his hope to spread the wealth was through government control and because of that, few remember N. M. Thomas.

Thank you to Ed Morrissey and HotAir

I’m sorry, who is watching?

—We all are! Some of us idly, patiently, and hopefully. Some of us in shock and disbelief. Some doubtfully and critically.

Even the die-hard believers seem to be keeping their mouths shut. Why—Because they aren’t sure either and instead of debate, which would only add more doubt to an already doubtful, panicked, and confused people, they just keep their mouths shut—run the table as long as they don’t roll a seven or until there’s nothing left. I think this is an all or nothing proposition.

Agendas have been postponed, tied up before, for one reason or another—and that’s not gonna happen this time. There are no blockades—full steam ahead! The Obama Express is coming through!

Explain the almost 8,000 earmarks in this latest bill. I thought that was an abuse of the past. How—why are we piling wasteful spending onto already unfathomable debt—right now. Pet projects that don’t produce jobs doesn’t make any sense to me. Ordinary people need to cut back, but not the bloated government—spend spend, spend! Whores ALL OF THEM!

Whose money are they spending? Tax money coming out of our paychecks and everything we buy and everything we do—TAX, TAX, TAX! It’s like Vegas chips—not real money… Comes out of our paycheck we don’t even feel it anymore. If we had to write a separate check for taxes, you know people would question every cent! But just like losing those cute plastic chps in Vegas it’s only a plastic chip, but if you were playing with hundred dollar bills, you might second think such a risky bet. Not the politician. No sir.It’s not their money they’re collecting and spending—it’s ours! They get their medical benefits, housing, salary, parking tickets all paid for with OUR money. Not to mention the perks… Just ask Choo Choo Charlie Rangel or Chris Dodd (his favorable Cuntrywide mortgage) for that matter. Or Harry Reid’s ethically challenged behavior. Or Nancy Pelosi Talking About Ethics? ETHICS? Or Barney Frank’s escapades.

The only thing they need to worry about is getting caught, but because they make the rules they become innocent mistakes…

So who can stop the Watchmen, at this point, as long as few morally bankrupt Republicans keep voting and receiving with them—ONLY WATCHMEN can stop the Watchmen or the system, will eventually collapse in, on itself.
