I know the discussions to shake up various school districts, including West Morris Regional and Mendham Township, have been going on for quite some time, but I’ve been unable to bring myself to either attend the meetings or write about the various combinations under consideration. The headline in this week’s Observer-Tribune reads: “District Shakeup Gains Steam” but nothing in the article suggests that the concept has truly gained momentum since Rex and I first heard about it four or five yeaHoliday Bonus: What to Give the Nanny?

But if you’re still pondering what to get your child’s babysitter, nanny or tutor as a holiday gift, in this tough economy, I have one word for you: Cash. When I asked our family’s tutor what he’d like this holiday season, he asked straight-out for a cash bonus. Even though cash isn’t exactly the most personal gift, as we’ve discussed before, currency is the NThe Italian Gourmet-Baby-Food Baron’s Ironically Pregnant Virgin Mistress, Part 4

This recession isn't just hurting extremely poor people and extremely rich people, it's also hurting that rich section of the upper-middle class that splurges on things like nannies and "girlfriend experience" prostitutes. Said section has recently started taking to Craigslist -- which you know they're obviously familiar with -- to advertise their so-close-they're-almost-family nannies.

On another post here on FP, I pointed out that the Left was full of shit on this and that Obama’s Cabinet picks have the symbolic value – when seen in a calmer perspective – of inoculating him from the guaranteed charges from the Right that he is a Left Wing Ideologue, thus giving him the political cover and “cred” with the larger American public to bring about real, substantive progressive change.

The holidays are here! The excitement of the season is in full force — as is holiday shopping.

Ah yes, in the same place where activists were so incensed with present Government, they threw product into the Boston Tea Party instead of going along.

As most traditional business owners have noticed, catering to the needs of Generation Y is a whole different ball game. This youthful workforce, born anywhere from 1980 to 2000, is expected to change jobs a minimum of seven times in their lifetime. This is in sharp contrast to their grandparents, who commonly devoted their entire career to one company. Managers are coming up with new, outside-of-the-box ways to attract young talent and to keep those sought after employees from jumping ship. GeVanessa Marcil in The Nanny Express

Hussein Obama’s ‘New Deal’ (Now Showing)
President B. Hussein Obama and his team are modeling their domestic agenda on President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Keynesian liberalism. They are seeking to forge a modern, 21st century version of the New Deal. There is, however, one major problem. The original New Deal was a dismal failure. Mr. Obama recently pledged that his incoming administration would make the largest investment in national infrastructure projects since the late 1950s.

I like Digby's take on it. Dynasties are not good in a democracy. Or perhaps it is that democracy cannot survive under a dynastical form of government? It's not just Caroline Kennedy, by the way. Ken Salazar's brother has been proposed as his replacement. Nepotism is a general danger very much alive in American politics (the Bush dynasty being just one of many examples).

We’re taking this story from The Star with several handfuls of salt, not least because their source uses the phrase “he loves sexy hookers.” But if the accusations are true, Kevin Federline is not the clean-living father of the year he claims to be. Says their “family insider,” via Celebitchy: Kevin’s been trying to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes! He acts like he’s the father of the year, but he’s far from it. Behind the scenes, he’s a pot-smoking slacker who doesn’t have a job but stillKevin Federline is still a pothead & loves hookers?
Take this will a grain of salt, because this story comes from Star magazine. They don’t actually have the best reputation with factual reporting, but I found this story kind of funny in that “it could happen” sort of way. Kevin Federline has really tried to portray himself as this great father figure for his kids, someone that stays home and has his world revolving around them. Not so, according to Star, who claims that K-Fed loves to smoke pot and hangs out with hookers when his children ar |
