Activists suing McDonald's over Happy Meal toys

You have to be kidding me another ridiculous lawsuit by the by the left wingnuts....I can not believe that I am actually posting this it is so unbelievable...

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, an advocacy group, claims it violates California law for the hamburger chain to make its meals too appealing to kids, thus launching them on a lifelong course to overeating and other health horrors.

But that is not all named in this lawsuit is this "sorry excuse for a parent"....introducing Monet Parham and her lovely daughter Maya -- here is her alleged allegations at McDonalds....

 "Because of McDonald's marketing, [her daughter] Maya has frequently pestered Parham into purchasing Happy Meals, thereby spending money on a product she would not otherwise have purchased."

Many of you maybe asking yourself -- and the reason for the lawsuit is....

She's suing because when she said no, her kids became disagreeable and "pouted" - for which she wants class action status.

Needless to say I don't think very highy of this mother.  Last time one of my children were disagreeable and pouted -- imagine this I said NO.  It is called being a parent teaching your children that especially when you act like that you are not to be rewared.  If you feel that a meal is not healthy enough than here is idea -- cook them a home cooked meal -- the last place I go if I want to eat healthier is a fast food joint.  Be the parent -- enough said.

Lastly, what kind of message does this send to her children -- that you are not responsible for your own actions -- the actions of the child, but especially those of this mother -- because you are so overwelmed with being a parent (yes, disagreeable and pounting are par for the course) -- then defentaly sue -- becuase it is McDonalds fault not your own.

Michelle Obama's School Lunch - Video - Mocking

I guess it is no longer the parents choice as to what their children eat.  It takes me back to Hillary Clinton's "it takes a village to raise a child".  Well, no thanks I've seen what a "village" produces, I would like to raise my own children.

Check out this video, it is funny and yet so sad....compliments from American Thinker

Arizona Medical Marijuana Proposed Rules Released

I am split on the my legal views on this - I believe that anything that can be done to lesson the agony for patients should be looked at as an alternative, however I don't want to see this outcome like the one in California (marijuana superstores, etc)  I believe to alleviate the symptoms of their pain it is better and safer to go to prescribing doctors or dispensary than someone on the streets.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out in Arizona, I'll keep you posted.

Extreme - Maybe Not

German man castrates teenage daughter's 57-year-old boyfriend

An enraged father who disapproved of his daughter's older boyfriend went to his home and castrated him with a bread knife. 

 When I first read this I was thinking "that's a little extreme", however, as a parent of teen girls I am thinking he may be my hero.  We are not talking about a little age difference we are talking about 40 years, we are not talking about two consenting adults we are talking about a teenager.  This father went to authories they did nothing.  The only thing I would have done differently (ok maybe a few things) is using a "bread knife" -- crazy

Scary Monday -- In My Neighborhood

I received a call from my children's school that they were on lock-down, researching further I found out why:

Mesa police are searching for a man who held a husband and wife hostage in their home early Monday morning.
The man fled from his vehicle into a neighborhood near Extension and Guadalupe roads after an officer who pulled him over for a routine traffic stop discovered the vehicle was reported stolen, spokesman Det. Mike Melendez said.

The driver then entered a house through the doggy door and hid inside, Melendez said. He held the couple hostage for an hour and a half before bringing them outside to have them drive him out of the area.

The couple told police they saw the man run back inside their house when he realized police were already in the area, Melendez said. No one was injured.
Police barricaded the roads in the area and evacuated all the homes in the cul-de-sac as officers searched for the man.

Around 9 a.m., police determined the man was not inside the house or in the neighborhood and the barricades were removed. However, they are continuing to search for the man, who is described as a Black male, approximately 6 feet tall and 190 pounds. He has dreadlocks and was wearing a dark shirt and dark jeans.
