The mom will bravely go without this season’s new designer jeans, according to the accompanying story. Notice that she seems to be nicely up-to-date with last season’s pricey denim; that she is standing in a garage larger than many apartments; that it seems to be furnished with an operative extra refrigerator; and that discarded toys (from prior Christmases?) are plainly visible in plastic boxes in the background. This typifies sacrifice in America today? The coming depression is so going to eat the nation alive, and the world will laugh, because we deserve it.

An advisory committee of school and community members is urging the Wake County school system to stop allowing unhealthy foods at classroom celebrations and to not allow homemade foods to be served to students. They say as many as half of Wake’s schools allow unhealthy food to be served.
No report on whether Wake’s schools have ditched phys ed or recess. Which reminds me of something I heard on ESPN radio during the trip back. School phys ed classes are ditching things like basketball for “cup stacking,” because it teaches team-building skills and doesn’t “marginalize” anybody.
