A Proper Scolding

I normally don’t yell at people to get them to do something they do not want to do. I think persuasion is a better way. However, this is what I have learned to do with people who do not agree with me. As a child protection investigator I had to get involuntary clients to see that their lives were not working out for them. This was often difficult. I did have one distinct advantage though. As I was an CPI, I could initially scare the living shit out of them.

When it is bad enough for me to knock on you door, much less take your children away from you, I believe I have your attention. The choice of what you do about this sort of situation is yours. I can offer suggestions, help guide you on your way, and connect you with the services you may need, but YOU must act. Only YOU can change your world.

Monday August 31, 2009, the Day in Tubes *Update: A Day Without a Day…

With August almost over, it seems some of the funny is re-emerging.

Headzup has been busy, and is sharing with us, the growing bond between two of my favorite lunatics.

OMG. I just had an awful thought. The Sarah Palin and Glen Beck Show (SPAG BS). The horror.

Pundits are out again. 50 Holli points to whomever can make fun of them the best.

Ooh. Representative Wasserman Schultz got Pence about five times. Lets see 5 x 50 = she is winning.

Every so often this little toad comes out from whatever rock he has been sitting under, and I see him on my tv machine.

Oh wait. Sorry, that was Grover Norquest. He always looks like that. Can anyone understand what this fellow is talking about? Ever?
