The boy graduated first grade yesterday and today has scheduled a pizza and paper plane party, boys only. As a result, I am busy doing lawn work, house cleaning, and party prep. My apologies.
Today you’ll have to summarize the news on your own.

We can’t summarize the news. Your tagline says so.
Here’s my shot at summarizing:
*ahem*
We’re FUCKED!!!!!!!
Anarchy ensues…
Here’s Obama’s shot at responding:
DILLIGAF
Sounds like what American air mobility will be like for the next couple years.
I second Darth Levin’s #2.
We bien screwed.
My news summaries all say the same thing: “Stupid people did stupid shit. Film at 11.”
Congrats to young Master G upon the completion of 1st grade and the heady days of summer vacation ahead.
This just in:
It’s good to be King.

So go to the pub and see what Stranahan and his sycophants told me after I summarized Stranahan’s article.
I don’t know what to do with it, either. Better things to do than read his site, etc.
And now the news…
Um, ok, maybe not.
Here’s sports…
It’s all good; a man’s gotta keep his priorities straight.
Remember, balance is crucial for proper paper-plane trajectories. Stick to the delta-wing variants; the aerodynamic center is near the geometric center of the length, and the CG is usually in the right place, slightly ahead of this point, due to the multiple folds of the front end to achieve the delta shape…
Aw, Fuhgeddabowdit!, just let the kids have fun, enjoy the pizza, the day, and each other’s company; that’s the crucial part.
My best to you and yours
Just what are the flight characteristics of a pizza and paper plane?
I’m with Darth also. Only more like this:
We’re FUUUUUUUCKED!!!!!!! /Sam Kinison scream.

Dicentra,
I read them the OPORDER, unfortunately they seem to have a bad case of vertigo. Maybe it’s time to substitute some crayons for their keyboards.
Hillary is a fat cow.
VDH on “Why Study War?” and at the same place,”The Peace Racket”
For those wanting something longer in a different flavor, “What is Originalism? The Evolution of Contemporary Originalist Theory by Lawrence B. Solum “. 41 page pdf downloadable at the link to the summary which I summarize thusly.
Lee,
It’s graduation day so this seems a bit more appropriate.

Life’s tough, high time Young Goldstein learns this;)
one word: plastics
two words:

Which one of these is Royalty again?
Breaking:
It’s good to be Queen.
“Which one of these is Royalty again?”
i see what you mean but at the present time neither though i think buckingham palace is looking for an affirmative action hire.
Congrats Jeff, my 1st grader also graduated today only he brought home a nice case of pinkeye to startoff the summer. Yay!
Hi, Jeff.
I am truly sorry to say this, but I am an old Connecticut Yankee.
Graduated from first grade?
I only graduated once, and that was from the twelfth grade.
Please see how goofy “graduating from the first grade” is. It is nothing more than stuffing yourself and your son with false self esteem. If you make it through the first grade, you go to the second grade.
Sorry, truly. But “graduating” from first grade is lib bullshit. Moving on to second grade is what matters. I graduated first grade without so much as a “How do you do”.
Congratulations! Really. But don’t you think that “graduating from the first grade” is a bit much?
I have a young son who I love more than anything in the world, too, but I have to spend too much time trying to fight the false self esteem that those Edu-Pricks keep stuffing his head with. Self esteem is earned, not bestowed by a bunch of liberal pricks who are trying to steal your child’s mind
It’s wonderful to love your son’s accomplishments, but “graduating from the first grade” is a bit much for this old curmudgeon to deal with..
Sorry, I still think you are tits, but don’t be misled by your boundless love for your son.
I was, and am paying in spades for it, and I fear my son will be paying for it even longer than I will..
I’ll take it under advisement.
Jeff, I feel really kinda bad for saying that, but I really believe it.
What you do is wonderful, but I just had to pipe up. I was just as freaked about my son’s graduation from kindergarten. I went, I was proud, but in the back of my mind, I couldn’t silence that little voice that was saying: “What the fuck kind of bullshit is this all about?”
Thank you for PW. It is awsome, and the only place I can find that sane people hang out…Too bad that there are so few of them (I do not include myself among them).
Thanks, Jeff.

um,how do you feel about dog graduation? I have pictures of both my dogs in little hats.
Hope that it went well, Jeff G. First-to-second-grade transition is, to those at that age, a grand step. It doesn’t get boring and repetitious until, well, it’s all behind you.
My ‘troubles’ started in the 3rd grade. I was giving teachers and fellow students such fits that they decided I needed to be pushed up a grade mid-term. Likely a mistake, that. Or not: now, troublesome kids are given doses of various medications until they are properly zombified, and give no trouble to anyone.
“um,how do you feel about dog graduation? I have pictures of both my dogs in little hats.”
UUmmmm…
Dog graduation?
It probably did as much for (him, her, it) as kindergarten graduation did for my son. How cool! He is still a selfish little pr-ck, but it is my domain to have to deal with it. But I love him dearly. The way I feel, is that he could hve perpetrated the OK City bombing, and I would still love him (in a twisted sort of way)
“Hey, Dad! I “graduated” kindergarten, so fudge you!”
I am So cool.
Now aburble:
Oatmeal.

Road trip!
Heh. A childless co-worker has a semi-poodle-looking thing that went through ‘obedience school’, and subsequent ‘graduation’. The ongoing prattle I suffered about that episode was palpable. I’ll bet the damned little thing will still hunch on my leg at first opportunity.
I remember when the little rascal was bornded. Well, not when he was bornded, but here we are evidently six years later. Judas, time flies.
Kids are great. Keep em off the streets, on the straight and narrow, and the eff out of government. That is all.
The Left is going to go nuttier if that is possible.
Hate to say it, but a picture of me and our dog still hangs on our fridge from when the dog finished a — what was it, six weeks? — obedience course at Petsmart.
I didn’t put it there, and if I snag it and toss it in the trash the night before our next trash pickup day I doubt my wife will notice for a long, long time.
But years from now when the dog is old and ailing and quite possibly not going to come home from her next vet visit, not having that pic will break my wife’s heart. So it still hangs there.
M: I meant our luggage, Ronnie.
You’re doing lawn work and cleaning the house to impress a bunch of 1st grade boys?
Oh….
Nevermind.
