Oblivious to children’s hunger.
06/16/2009
State Rep. Cynthia Davis, R-O’Fallon, is staking out a strong position on child hunger: She’s for it.
“Hunger can be a positive motivator,” she notes in the latest edition of her newsletter.
More precisely, Ms. Davis is against summer feeding programs for poor kids.
They are an excuse “to create an expansion of a government program,” she says.
Ms. Davis chairs the House Special Standing Committee on Children and Families. In that position, she might be expected to have insight into child hunger in our state.

Dinosaurs
may not have been as monstrously big as scientists and Hollywood film directors would have us believe.

I have included the Daily Mail’s headline because its inventiveness is worth a second look.
Here are a few out-takes of the original rushes from JURASSIC PARK.
They just did not strike the fear which the final cut was able to accomplish.

After L. Ron Hubbard died, David Miscavige became Scientology’s leader.
Former church executives say Miscavige beat his staff. Church officials say the defectors are lying.

At least Moe thought he had an excuse:
“He was banging cocktail waitresses two at a time!
Players couldn’t get a drink at the table! What’s the matter with you?”

Kitten dropped, discovered in Boston city mailbox
AP
Tue Jun 16, 9:19 pm ET
BOSTON – Officials said a two-pound, eight-week-old kitten was dropped in a public mailbox in Boston and later found unharmed among envelopes and packages. According to the MSPCA Animal Care and Adoption Center, the kitten they’re calling “Postina” likely was stuffed Friday through a small opening of the mailbox and dropped several feet below.
*
By the size of the Lucky Strike pack,
Postina must weigh eighty–not eight–pounds.

The cover is bad enough,
but the author’s photograph on the back flap
really tore it.
