Some pretty interesting stuff out there today. 

First, from California, Skimpy Clothes Banned; what will students wear?  It appears that some educators are serious about banning clothing that is at least distracting.

I feel sorry for these kids.  A quick search of JCPenny, Blair, Chadwicks,
etc. on the web can find decent clothes.  I’m sure you can find it in
the department store versions as well.  The point is, these boys and
girls have dressed like streetwalkers for a long time now.  They can’t
dress that way in the business environment, and now someone is taking a
stand.

Granted, the parents should have been the ones to not
let their children leave the house in lingerie or showing their
underwear, but someone had to draw the line.  And I wouldn’t fret it
too much, Miss Thompson.  If there’s demand for decent clothes, the
suppliers will meet it.

Then there’s this one.  A couple has yet to name their 18 month old girl! 
They’re waiting to find out what the girl is like to give her a name to
match.  I don’t know much more I can say about that!

Until
they choose a name, they will call the little girl “Baby”.  I guess
they could also call her “princess”.  Until they name this girl (which
looks weaned in this picture) she will have no birth certificate, no
Social Security number, and she cannot be claimed as a dependant on
Federal Income Tax– they’re missing out on the $1000 child tax credit!

As you may know, the Capitol and White House were cleared yesterday when this aircraft entered restricted space.  Peggy Noonan believes that high heels may be done in the Captol. 
After the evacuation yesterday and the running, people are worried that
women might fall– I guess it isn’t too easy to run in heels!

The article is good, though, in that it also discusses maturity and how
those that are brave need to support those that are scared.
