Paperbag Planes: Munsch Won’t Be Encouraging Kids To Terrorize Anything Except Their Parents

By on January 19, 2010 4 Comments

Last week my head spun around when I read about an eight-year old American boy who by all appearances and contrary to TSA's denial, is on the 'no-fly' list because he has the same name as a person who apparently is on the list. That story was completely ridiculous and frustrating to read. Now there [...]

I shouldn't joke about this story but it's just so frustratingly WTF? An eight year old boy appears to be on the no-fly list and has been for the past seven years. All because he has the same name as a real grown-up person that apparently belongs on the no-fly list. Michael Hicks, aged 8, [...]

It’s Hard Out There For A Guidette

So, you know how the other day I posted something about how it was such good parenting on the part of the Obamas to not let their kids watch Jersey Shore and the joke was all about how really ludicrous it was for anyone to have to draw attention to a parent not letting their [...]

Oh hey, do you remember the December post that we should have called "HA HA HA GWYNETH FAIL!" but because we are 'mature' and 'restrained' Catherine just called it "GOOPtastic: One More Reason To Be Irritated By Gwyneth Paltrow"?

From The Only In Norway Files: Let Them Play With Fire

By on January 7, 2010 4 Comments

So a Norwegian architecture firm was commissioned to build a new outdoor structure for a local kindergarten, which sounds normal enough. Companies often do it around here and it usually ends up being some kind of grandiose castle or sailing ship that will spark the imagination of the young'uns it was intended to engage. Well, [...]

RIP Brittany Murphy

Brittany Murphy died today. She was 32. Her death has nothing to do with bad motherhood, or bad parenthood, or bad anything, but still. Clueless! 8 Mile! Happy Feet! She occupied a place on the cultural landscape of our lives and her disappearance from landscape will not go unnoticed. That, and – if we're being [...]
