| My hair accessories are...dare I say it? Gossip Girl inspired.
I don't even watch the show.

| A student of mine was told that he is poor because he doesn't believe in God?! The student was told this by a teacher! That makes my blood boil. I talked to my student about it, and I got a better understanding of where he's coming from. He told me that he believes that there is a higher power, but he's not sure if it's the same god that the teacher believes in. He can believe in whatever he wants to believe in; it's in his 1st Amendment Rights. | | |
| So, it looks like Justice Souter will be retiring by the time this term ends. That means President Obama will be able to nominate his first Supreme Court Justice. I did not expect Justice Souter to be the first to retire! I figured it would have been either Justice Ginbsurg (who has had some serious medical complications this year) or Justice Stevens (the man is 89 years old!).
Anyway, I do predict that President Obama will be nominating a woman. What I'm not sure of is if he's going to go the super liberal route (someone similar to Justice Ginsburg) or the moderate (Justice Kennedy or Justice O'Connor). I wonder if he wants a lopsided Court in favor of the liberal agenda or a balanced one. It's been a 4 conservative, 4 liberal Court with Justice Kennedy as the moderate since Justice O'Connor left. It's quite the exciting time, indeed.
At the very least, a woman's right to choose will hopefully be safeguarded in the changing Court.

| I'm being dragged down, down by the hand
The hand of a golden giant man
He's crushing my knuckles and splitting my skin
He says he will let go if only I ask it of him
He says girl it's your call, you wanna fly you wanna fall?
So I shout I wanna get away from you as fast as I can
I tell my feet to move it, I hope they have a plan
These little black sandals are walking me away
These little black sandals are heading the right way
These little black sandals are walking me away
These little black sandals saved my life today
So now I'm free, free
From the big bad giant who was stalking me
Thank you feet for guiding me
I'm glad somehow I've got brains down there at least
Sometimes I'm tempted, sometimes I am
I would be lying if I said I didn't miss that giant man
Oh he was a line between pleasure and pain
But me and the feet have some years to reclaim
