PBS is not renewing the 26 year old program Reading Rainbow. You may remember the wonderful show as a child or a parent. It was lovely, and I wonder how many kids picked up a book because of the show? Why is it ending? During the Bush administration it was determined that teaching reading must be about phonics and vocabulary and funding dried up for the idea of getting kids to want to read. I am not saying that phonics and vocabulary are not important, but there should be room for different approaches. Is television the place to actually teach the basics anyway?
The "news" women on CNN are single-handedly keeping the makeup industry in business.
It's "steak night" at Virlie's. They grill out the back on Fridays. Isn't that cute?
If naked people in public bother you, don't look at them.
