"Yeah, my wife buys it every now and then. To me, it is just overpriced Frito-Lay Bean Dip, which was a staple at sleepovers when I was a kid."

Hey! Don't dis the chummus

“Chanda. May I call you, Chanda?”

I call her Shanda because it’s a shanda (shame) that this yenta (do I have to translate that from Yiddish?) is in charge

[crusty old prospector]

Hey, that looks like a prop from a show that we may have watched at one of these sleepovers. A life preserver from the S.S. Minnow.

Do I detect a scorched earth strategy in all of this?

Most likely we’ll never hear how this goofy idea will be dropped without comment as an epic fail.

Some folks just need firing.

I have no problem with the right of a school to decide what it does and does not want to sell.

She looks very pleased with herself.

“Using food as a reward for behavior and achievement can encourage unhealthy habits later in life,” the school system said in a statement on its website.

Instead, teachers will be encouraged to reward boys and girls with an eraser, a sticker or “taking a walk with a special staff person.”

Ah yes. The Sandusky reward. Taking a walk with that "special" staff person.

The corporations that play the game of Political Correctness deserve what they get.

Talked to a neighbor last night about this. She and other parents run the concession stand for our band’s booster club at football games. She said this is one of the dumbest ideas she’s ever heard and no way to make money. The football team makes their money off the gate. Games are sell outs all season so the band mostly has the concession stand to make any money.

SOCIALISM! Pure and simple.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Chanda Turner Nanny State PING!

[this_ol_patriot]

Usually the band moms or some auxiliary that donate the proceeds to school activities run the concession stand, I guess the ban dude is going to make up the difference out of his own pocket now.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

Yep, now the boosters are going to lose that revenue stream and the result will be that the local property owners will get harangued to vote for a milage increase!

“How you change or establish kids behavior..”

My how quickly we went from a goal of educating the populace to controlling the populace. No wonder public (government) control of education was a major plank in Marx’s philosophy.....

“Dreams of My Father”

The actual book title is “Dreams FROM My Father.” Meaning that Obama is discussing his dreams, that he adopted from his anti-colonialist marxist father. Not that he is discussing his father’s dreams that are independent of Obama’s dreams.

Sorry to nitpic, but I try to never let that one pass....

Agreed. Pretty good stuff, but it wouldn’t be very satisfying at a ball game. Why in the world would they choose a middle eastern dish? So it would be halal?
