Learning a second language is important, but not nearly as important as learning a first.

Your Tax Dallors at work

I think that this sign speaks for itself.

Underfunding education is not just an American pastime, it is fun too.

Nice looking waffles, golden brown, mouth-watering, dripping with artificialy simulated maple syrup substitute. It is nice to know before buying the iron exactly how the waffles will come out. What isn't obvious is that the waffle iron indentations are so slight that it really cannot be used to make waffles (the waffles cannot be thicker than about 10 pieces of paper. But just look at the waffles in the picture with 25 (5 x 5) indentations. Of course, the waffle iron produces 36 indentations (6 x 6).

Now, I don't know if that are real waffles in the background or just some picture that they got off the internet, but I do know that those waffles never came out of that waffle iron.

I have a little dreidel. I made it out of clay. And when it's dry and ready.

Excuse me. I meant "trying ready".

That's what I love. Grammatical errors on wrapping paper used to wrap thousands of presents for young impressionable children.

I don't blame the person in China trying to English (and Yiddish) words on American wrapping paper, but you would think that someone would have checked the spelling before printing out 8.6 million rolls of the stuff.

So nobody at the Athletic Apparel noticed the misspelling . No one in the Nationals home office noticed the misspelling. Not one of the players noticed the misspelling. At least the Nationals can rest assured that it was caught it before it made the news.

And they say that baseball is our natinal pastime.

Washing Instructions

So, how hard can it be to wash a baby's bib? You just throw it into the washer and turn it on. Right?

If it were that easy, would I be blogging about it?

Lands' End is a good company with good products, but I haven't yet figured out how to wash this bib. Somehow, I think turning a bib inside out may involve some contortion of the space-time continuum. Anyone know where to get a green Energy Star rated Tardis-enabled washing machine?
