Stinking banannas. This drink is almost as bad as chartreuse. If someone brings this to your party only drink as a last resort otherwise stay away. DO NOT mix with coconut rum. Stick with the brown liquids (i will acept Gin or Vodka if made with the proper drink, ie: Bloody Marys, Gin Martinis). If there are any other alcoholic beverages I should stay away from let me know.
Interesting news story:
After making biased statements in class and then recorded by a student, teacher Jay Bennish, was suspended. Bennish made comments likening Bush to Hitler. Apparently one of his students, Sean Allen, recorded him during class and his father was outraged. Then Allen went to Colorado radio station KHOW. Allen doesn’t think to highly of his classmates and told the radio station that, “These kids are going to have notes on this and accept that as fact”. I first came across this story while looking at random tags on technorati. The article I came across was labeled “The Teacher From Hell On Today, Tomorrow”. This spiked my interest immediately because when I looked at the story it was very biased. What I have been seeing while reading various things about this is that people have used this issue to hash out a liberal vs. right debate.
This is actually about being responsible for giving information to students on an unbiased level and letting them decide. Teenagers are very intelligent yet underdeveloped people that may not question where information comes from. I would hope that we are all learning throughout every stage of our lives, and then we present any information we have learned in the most intelligent manner possible. Debates are fine things, they let the mind grapple with interesting issues, and when appropriate are necessary learning tools. What this teacher failed to do was issue the information and then manage what could have been an interesting debate between his students. He rants the whole time and does not really let the students answer any of his questions until about half way through. I hear a man who is very intelligent but also a little careless with the way he is acting in a classroom.
