iThink iPad is iBad

I don't know what everybody else thinks about it, but I think giving children iPads at school is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. They are not even going to know how to write their name. And what is the teacher gonna do - stand up there and watch them punch on their iPads? They can do that at home. They probably don't even need a teacher. That's all they do is get on computers and iPads. They need to learn how to do something else in school besides that. That's ridiculous.

Water, water everywhere

Next time you have an interview with the Corps of Engineers, ask them if the levee breaks someplace between Commerce and Cargill in Scott County, I believe that is called Levee District No. 1 in Scott County, where would the water go? I think Sikeston, Miner and Bertrand would be wet.
