When "-isms" collide: racism vs classism vs ageism vc sexism (thinking out aloud)
Recently a colleague made a jibe "not everything is about race" while we were in conversation. I would mention her race except that would perpetuate the label that's been lumped on to me: the angry black woman. I realised that as one of the few black staff members, race talk is always awkward in the staff room. We usually play it safe by making jibes at each other by talking about the weird things Coloured people say ("You're gonna learn…who learn you English?") or the most recent one, why do white (often English-speaking) people think it's okay to call older people by their name? My Coloured colleagues and I stick to titles (Mr, Mrs, sisi, bhuti etc) unless the white person insists I use their first name, even when they are old enough to be my mother (which is very awkward).
These conversations can be fun and light-hearted and we feel like we are the rainbow nation and we're all getting along in spite of the differences we hold onto. That's until one of my white colleagues say they don't get what the big deal is with #blackface, "what's the big deal" and then I'm placed in the position of being the "expert ethnic" and speak on behalf of my race. Or a white colleague questions the credentials of a coloured woman because she doesn't meet his standards about what an educated person should say and behave like so she couldn't possibly have gone through the arduous task of reading and writing her Ph.D "she probably bought it" he says. Or I complain about the class dynamics and my class sensibilities are questioned. Who is the problem in this situation: the one who judges according to race or the one who judges according to class or the one who uses culture? The simple answer is, all of the above.
When I admit my class consciousness I have noticed some who says something potentially racist will not admit that they are racist. We don't like racists but it's okay for people to say horrible things about working class and middle class people. Why? It's somewhat okay to be a nice guy and say sexists things from time to time, but it's usually just a joke and if anyone takes offense, they lack a sense of humour. I'm starting to think that we have a pecking order: the racist is the scum of the earth; then the sexist. If you haven't checked your privilege and you're middle class, people often turn a blind eye to comments about poor people ("why can't they just get a job?"). If you're somewhere in between classes and you feel like you can point fingers at both middle and working class then you're the expert because you're in both worlds. And then ageist on the grounds of religion and culture is usually pardoned and the conversation can move on swiftly.
Of course, the problem here is that if one is working within binaries of race, class and gender the complexities about the things we say when we forget who is in our company can get lost. I haven't worked this problem out in my head except that I want another way of talking to people about race, gender class without killing the conversation because I'm the resident "angry black woman".
I'm just thinking out aloud and making sense of some awkward situations I find myself within. What happens when my "nice" colleagues say something I think is racist and they think I'm being too sensitive? What happens when I say something offensive but because I'm the "angry black woman", I may be exempt from correction in the fear of me pulling the race card? It all sounds quite silly to be honest. Grown people who can't have frank conversations with each other for the fear of being misunderstood.

On giving into adult peer pressure and buying a car
My worst nightmare came true. When I decided I would move to a bigger city with a "kak" public transport system, I had to make peace with the fact that I had to buy a car. I had always hoped I would stay in a small town that didn't really require a car (only just as a luxuary) or I could be anti-establishment and try to live without a car: shun consumerism and save the environment one taxi ride at a time. But my plans were thwarted and I took the plunge and decided to buy a car.
When I look around, it seems everyone approaches this part of their life with much ease. I envy people who inherited cars from their mom, dad or grandparents. My girlfriends and I always spoke about getting cars but in a casual non-committal sort of way. It's the adult thing to do. And I don't know what it's like for guys but I've decided that it's way easier; the same way there isn't much anxiety about getting a drivers license. Cars aren't a mystery for men. Growing up, I knew few women who actually drove or even owned cars so cars became the thing men did and women tagged along. (I've never seen my mother drive)
My disdain for cars also came from a secret I harboured: with the salary I have and the responsibilities on that salary, there's no way I could afford a car. And the expectation that I must indeed have one in spite of this slight hinderance gave me heart palpitations. It felt like a cruel joke: people ask "when are you getting a car?" and I knew the answer wasn't allowed to be "when I get a better salary" or even better "when I don't have to contribute a chunk of my salary to my mother".
So for the first two years of working I decided I would rather travel than save for a car. The first bit of money I saved I blew on a trip to Mozambique. I knew I couldn't have it all like my friends with corporate salaries so I decided to make a trade off: a car or travel? And I chose travelling. I blew my first bonus on a trip to Kenya the following year. After the trip in Mozambique I was surprised by a conversation which made me realize I would make a somewhat major life choice: I had decided to move to Joburg and immediately I started thinking about the logistics: when? How? What would I do when I get to Joburg? Teach? Study further? So first I decided to get my drivers license.
I started saving hoping to buy a cheap jalopy sometime during the year. I would practice driving in Cape Town so I wouldn't have a seizure when I stall in the middle of Jan Smuts Avenue in Joburg. I didn't realize how little I know about cars until I started getting specific with friends. I knew the basics: if you don't have enough money, vehicle finance is what most people do. Getting a car on credit is quite normal but also outs your social class in a huge way. It says "I'm normal: I want things I can't afford and my parents couldn't afford to help me out with a starter pack". I was also grateful to find out that AVIS and most car rental companies sell their cars so I went for the AVIS option.
I don't remember if I ever had a dream car (my few attempts at being anti-consumerism). A car is an object I wasn't willing to spend too much energy on. It's a possession that loses value as soon as you sign on the dotted line. So I knew I wanted something simple, basic and didn't attract any attention or say anything about me at all: I didn't want it to be an extension of me. I didn't consider fuel consumption or whether it's fuel consumption friendly. I didn't know how long I wanted the car. I just wanted a car.
AVIS responded immediately after I sent them forms and documents(a day and a bit is too quick in my world). It all happened too quickly. Within a day I knew I qualified for vehicle finance. The biggest sham ever! On my current salary, there's no way I can afford a car. I guess they make the decision based on credit. Money I don't have. I made the decision based on my salary starting in January next year and the savings I had so far. My heart broke every time I considered that the money I saved so studiously would end up buying a car and not go into some other long term investment
And then the jargon began. My communication at AVIS was rerouted to the sales rep and not the administrator who processed the paper work: payslips, certified copies of this and that. I started making lists and ticking off all the documents as I went I along. An email from the sales rep told me good news and made me realize I had to ask questions: "your finance has
officially been approved with no residual with an estimated instalment @ 12% linked R2650 +- including warranty and service plan and smash and grab". She offered to find someone who would help me with insurance quotes.
She told me I had the public holiday to think about it. Think about what? I didn't know anything about residual and 12% linked. I asked around. I was also getting loads of advice from everywhere: ask about the service plan, ask about the warranty, ask about the accident report. And every time these questions were posed I felt like I was making the biggest decision of my life. Deciding on a career or degree of study wasn't as stressful and that determined my future in real measurable terms. Why was there more pressure when buying a car?
The questions were sent in bits and pieces and I outed myself: I'm a first time buyer who has no clue what is going on. I assumed that people think like me: a teacher. Either assume the kids know nothing about what you're talking about or start from what they know and build from there. It turns out this basic principal only applies in the classroom. In the real world people assume you know everything.
I then went onto the Hippo website. The Hippo adverts on tv were always lost on me: why compare insurance prices anyway? Because everything is a potential scam! Everyone is trying to squeeze as much money out of us as possible and the more naïve you are, the better. The website was helpful because it gave me a sense of what to expect when I eventually got a call from someone who would give me more quotes. I saw the words "excess" on the Hippo website and I didn't know what that meant. It turns out, for every claim I make with the insurance company I would first have to pay money.
But what about all the instalments I would have made already?
The excess is supposed to be a deterrent from claiming willy nilly. The remaining lessons at school on Friday were a blur. I had heart palpitations every time I thought about the car and the word insurance made me queasy.
After school, the car arrived and I went for a test drive. I did a pit stop at AVIS and finally met the people who had bombarded me with emails. I realized as I had the face to face conversation: I probably should have done my homework a bit more. I decided to be a victim and blame all the friends I kept asking who gave me half-hearted advice or worse, advice in instalments. The thought of prolonging this trauma and doing more homework gave me a sleepless night. I was up until 2am looking at other car websites. I didn't know what I was looking for. Some people told me to look a bit more. Look for what?
I think I've decided on the deal. It's not my dream car but it will do the job for the next few years. I haven't dealt with the trauma of what buying on credit really means: I will eventually end up paying more than the price I saw on the website. The system is flawed and how much room is there to find the ideal situation? What is the ideal situation when buying a car? I still resent the fact that I need a car. But the whole process has been a rite for passage. I can already see the next stress with the car (assuming there are no accidents, the breaks don't fail, I don't burn the clutch, the fan belt doesn't start screaming and whatever else it is that ruins a car): how long will I keep it for? Will I trade it in? Will I be able to sell it?
I'm not anymore car savvy than when I began this process. I just feel a little more like an adult. After a 40 minute conversation with friends I realized, perhaps I should have read a little more. Perhaps I should have waited one more month. Shoulda, coulda, woulda! Now I have my heart set on having transport options from this week onwards. I don't have to take the taxi or bus if I don't want to. I probably will, to save and not have to worry about parking when I get to school. I don't have to bother people with asking for lifts anymore. I don't have to worry about carrying stuff next time I go grocery shopping.
I have given away a fraction of my soul because buying a car is a necessary evil.

On being let down by a strong, black woman
The last time I wrote a post was more than a month ago. I was in the throes of exams and trying to keep up with the mountain of exam marking. When I could finally breathe and the holiday began, my mother had a stroke a few days after my long-awaited holiday began.
A stroke isn't something that can be planned. But it feels like my mother chose the perfect time to have her stroke. My sisters and I had planned to take some time off and be home during July so when the stroke happened, we had all been preparing ourselves to come home anyway. I always have to prepare myself for going home: mentally and emotionally. Over the years, home has become an emotional desert.
The stroke happened on Wednesday morning. Mama called me and she didn't sound like herself. My initial thought was that she had been crying. But seeing as I can count the number of times I've seen her cry, I immediately dismissed that thought. She told me she wasn't well, but assured me she had everything under control. She said she would go and see a doctor. My mother never single-handedly chooses to see a doctor. She has to be coerced or in a diabetic coma for four days before she concedes that something is wrong with her. So when she said she was going to the doctor, I thought: maybe this is serious. But being my mother's daughter, I also knew that my mother also cried wolf before so I decided to disengage and allow her to take care of herself. My 9 year old nephew was visiting her and she assured me she would be fine with the nephew around. So after I spoke to her I rolled over in my bed and carried on sleeping, enjoying the fact that I had nothing planned for the day except for a few errands that weren't really urgent.
Later I got a message from my cousin saying she had seen my mom and something was amiss. Still, nothing moved me. My mother is a strong, black woman. Capable. This couldn't be too serious. She called me later telling me she'd been to the doctor, got "i-treatment" (medication) and the doctor assured her that the stroke had passed her by, leaving a little damage; she was a bit wobbly but she assured me she would be fine.
Thursday morning and I get a call from my aunt who never calls me. She tells me mama had fallen over during the night and had lost feeling in the left side of her body. She asked me the dreaded question: ubuya nini? (when are you coming home?) I had planned to visit mama during the last week of my holiday. The first two weeks would be mine to do the things I wanted to do. But my aunt demanded an answer: when are you coming home? I think I lied to her and said I would make a plan. My sisters and I began to make plans via whatsapp and it was decided that the eldest would find a flight on Thursday; but later we discovered flights were full so she would be home Friday morning. By the end of the day on Thursday I had been convinced by other people that I too should abandon my plans and go home. I didn't want to go home.
Memories of giving up time, emotions and money in order for mama to be happy came flooding back to me. A few years ago mama showed symptoms of having diabetes. My sisters and I noticed in October but mama refused to acknowledge this. I came home for the December vac and she was emaciated and drinking lots of water. Within a few days she had lost her appetite and she no longer had energy to get out of bed. She began vomiting and before long she was dragged out of the house, almost unconscious, taken to the hospital and into a coma for four days.
The diabetic coma was a culmination of the dysfunction in my family, especially when it came to my mother. The dysfunctional nature of our family life has a long history of subtle signs throughout my childhood and adolescence. Ours has never been a normal family By the time I left for varsity, I had decided my mother has bipolar and she existed on a different reality than the one I lived within. But because she didn't believe in doctors, that was just my conjecture based on some reading and efforts of putting together the pieces of the stories she told me. The pieces never came together.
I didn't want to go home because I didn't want to deal with my mother's drama. The stroke could have been avoided but my mother didn't look after herself even though she understood she had diabetes which needed prolonged treatment. But I conceded and went home in spite of my plans of having a peaceful holiday. When my sisters and I arrived in East London Friday evening my mother was in a pitiful state. The next day my sisters admitted her into the hospital and her road to recovery began.
As I write this, she's been in hospital for more than a week receiving care and physio to help her along. Because she's my mother, she's also been drinking concoctions from a famous medicine man who makes a herbal concoction to drive away the effects of a stroke. A miracle man. I decided against visiting her in hospital today. I didn't take any of her calls as I usually do because I am tired. Physically and emotionally spent by yet another episode of drama.
My sisters and I have been packing up her house as she can no longer live alone. I have been sorting through boxes and shelves of clothing discovering pictures and letters from my mother's former life as a teacher and devout church lady. In the past twenty years, I have watched my mother disintegrate into a shadow of herself, relying on pictures and stories about my mother before she checked out of life.
I'm hoping I will weep at some point or whatever the appropriate response is when one has an ailing mother. I have not wept. I am only tired. I wake up in the middle of the night wondering how this happened and what will life look like now that my life and my sisters' lives have been changed by one single person who was supposed to keep it together? Instead she has three daughters keeping it together because we are her pension plan, her retirement annuity. The strong, black woman has let us down.

Thank you, Maya Angelou
I found out about Maya Angelou's passing from a new friend while visiting Uganda. Access to the internet was sporadic and I hadn't checked Twitter for a glimpse of what was happening in the world. When he told me I slapped him on the arm (a terrible reflex I have when I'm shocked or angry) because in my mind I imagined her picture and words disappearing forever. But then I realised, people like her don't really die, they live on forever.
I remember the first time I encountered her work. I was in a library looking for something new. I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for but I knew it when I saw it. It was an anthology of work by African-American women. The first poem in the anthology was Sojourner Truth's
Ain't I a Woman
. I couldn't believe the treasure that was in the book. It was my first discovery of black women who wrote and wrote about things that mattered to my teenage mind. Yes, they were African-American but they made me receptive to the idea that writing and ideas matter. And black women can write and many have believed that their voices and ideas matter.
After poring over the anthology I made it my job to find more work by women like Toni Morrison, Alice Walker and read whatever I could find (soon after I discovered a book
by Nozipho J Maraire — this was the first book I read written by an African woman). I read
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
and Maya Angelou's collection of essays and poems with gusto. Her voice had a conviction and a rhythm. Typically, my favourite became
Phenomenal Woman
. By the time I finished high school it had become a mantra and I liked the idea of having a sway in my hips or not having to jump about or talk real loud in order to be heard.
During my first term at Rhodes I had a few jarring moments that brought me back to my reality: that one can be in the numerical majority but be culturally marginalised. It took an English tutorial (and introduction to philosophy) for me to realise that the work of the black writers I was discovering were not actually the norm. The voices of black intellectuals (especially women) came much later in my education. At the end of first term the tutor had asked us to bring a poem we would read and share with the rest of the group. It was the end of our first poetry module and we had covered the work of poets (mostly white men — I still have the anthology as evidence, compiled by Dan Wylie) preparing us for the launch into the anthologies by Seamus Heaney and Gerad Manley Hopkins (more white men).
So I decided to take along
Phenomenal Woman
. Before I read the piece I announced the title assuming that everyone would know the poet. I was the only person in my tutorial who knew the poem and the poet. I was confused: How could they not know one of the best poets alive? I naively believed that everyone knew about this important woman who expressed the joys and heaviness of being human and more importantly, a black woman. She wasn't a poet like William Wordsworth or Sylvia Plath. She had the timbre of a familiar voice; someone I could have met and sat with and chatted with about all the things that pain me and bring me joy. And she would have listened.
Women like Maya Angelou (notice I can't just say Maya or Dr Maya Angelou) gave me a different way of seeing the world. I am the cliché: another black woman whose life was changed by her words. Maya Angelou's existence, her stories and her voice will be with me forever. Her work made me question why there aren't more women writing about their lives? Her work made me more receptive to work by Nontsizi Mgqwetho, a black, South African woman who wrote poetry in the Xhosa newspaper
Isigidimi Sabantsundu
in the 1920s.
I don't think of Maya Angelou as a role model. She's just Maya Angelou: someone who gave others the space to be and believe in the importance of their convictions and thoughts about the world. I'm not really sad she's passed on (we all saw that coming) because she's left us with so much more. She left us with her poetry and her words, which will live on forever. Thank you Maya Angelou.

Elections: the rural vote
This is an extract from the article written f
or Al Jazee
ra Opinion:
When voters went to the polls May 7 to cast a vote for a national and provincial government, there was already a sense of resignation because in spite of the campaign from opposition parties such as the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) , we all knew the African National Congress (ANC) would win the national election with an overwhelming support provincially. The ANC has been the default government since 1994 when Nelson Mandela became the first democratically elected president after apartheid.
This default position is largely due to what we know happens to liberation movements: They are supported by the majority of the population, often for complex reasons long after the liberation moment has ended. One would think that given the ANC's record of corruption, lack of service delivery in poor areas,
the Marikana massacre
disgruntled worker unions, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, voters would be happy to let go of the ANC after 20 years. But this is not the case. Predictions from
the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)
indicated that the ANC would still be in power after these elections, although it wouldn't have the two-thirds majority it once enjoyed.
As the ANC celebrates victory, some analysts have pointed out that there has been
a meaningful drop
in support for the ANC in these elections, especially
in urban areas
Indeed, rural areas have been considered ANC's stronghold for some time. But is confidence in ANC dropping only among the urban dwellers?

Ubizo (The calling)
"Utitshala ohamba emthunzini wetempile phakathi kwabalandeli bakhe, akaniki okobulumko bakhe, koko okokholo lwakhe nokothando lwakhe." La ngamazwi wombhali obekekileyo, uKhalil Gibran kwincwadi yakhe ethi
La mazwi abalulekile xa sicinga ngabantu abaye bazixhamla bazibandakanya kumsebenzi ojongene nemfundo yabantwana nolutsha beli: ingakumbi ootitshala bethu. Xa sithetha ngootitshala apha eMzantsi sinento yokubagalela ngamanzi ngakumbi xa sijonge iziphumo zebanga lokuqgibela okanye xa sixelelwa ngoqhankqalazo lootitshala ngenxa yokufuna ukurhola ngcono. Ezi ziganeko zithi ootitshala bethu abazimiselanga kwimfundo yabantwana bethu. Abanye bade bathi ixesha lokuba ootitshala bazidle ngomsebenzi wabo ladlula.
Kudala kwakuthiwa xa ubani ezinikezela kumsebenzi othile, ade abalasele, abonakalise ubuchule kumsebenzi othile kuthiwa ubiziwe. Ubizo olu yinto echaphazela abantu abathile: ingakumbi oogqirha (namagqirha), umfundisi wenkonzo njalo njalo. Oku kuthi asinguye uwonke wonke obiziweyo. Liqaqobana la bantu abazinikezelayo kumsebenzi wokukhonza ilizwe. Side sithi abantu ababiziweyo ngabantu abanesiphiwo lokuzinikezela kumsebenzi odelekileyo. Ndiye ndizibuze umbuzo: xa sisithi abantu abathile babiziwe, babizwe ngubani? Lo mbuzo uzama ukuphicotha lo mba wobizo kuba xa ubani esabela ubizo uyazincama yaye uzincamela inkolelo yokubaluleka komsebenzi abizelwe wona.
Ndiye ndafunda ngomzekelo omhle wotishala ozinikezeleyo, wasabela ubizo lokufundisa ulutsha. uMama Shape Msiza utitsha isiNgesi ePonelopele Oracle Secondary School, eEbony Park eMidrand. Ngonyaka ka2012 waye wavuzwa ngewonga eliphakamisa ootishala kudidi lwamawonga. Yena uMam'Msiza wafumana kwi
Top Gauteng Teachers Awards
kwingqinqi Ekurhuleni. Eliwonga walifumana ngenxa yeziphumo zabantwana bakhe ngexesha eyintloko yesebe lesiNgesi kwisikolo sakhe. Abafundi bakhe baphumelela emagqabini kwizifundo zesiNgesi.
Kudliwano-ndlebe kunye neBBC
uncokola ngesakhono sakhe nobuchule abusebenzisayo xa etitsha. Uthi uba ngumzali kubafundi bakhe ukuze bangamoyiki yaye akwazi ukuthetha nabo ngazo zonke izinto ezibalulekileyo, hayi ezesikolo kuphela. Uthando nenkathalo alubonakalisayo kubafundi bakhe lwenza angahoyi into ezinje ngemali ayirholayo yaye oku ukucacisa ngelithi
most cases teachers are not seen as a people who can be rich or who can be rich because the salary is not good. You never have money as a teacher! So we need to see it as a calling. You need to compromise."
Oku kuthi uxanduva azithathele wona uMam'Msiza libonakalisa ukuba indlovu ayisindwa ngomboko wayo.
Umsebenzi kaMam'Msiza awuphelelanga kwigumbi lokufundisa kuba ungumququzeleli kwezinye iinkonzo zesikolo kwakunye nokuncedisana nabafundi abalungiselela ukuphangela okanye abazimisele ukuqhubekeka nemfundo yabo emva komatriki. Nangona ewuthathela phezulu ubizo lwakhe, uMam'Msiza uyavuma ukuba ikhona imiceli-mngeni kulo msebenzi wakhe ingakumbi isimilo sabantwana besikolo. Nangona eligqala (uneminyaka eliyishumi amabini engutitshala), abafundi bakhe banamaxesha lokuphuma izithuba, intlonipho bayishiye ngaapha kwemida yesikolo. Abanye badibana nobunzima basebenzise iziyobisi yaye oku, kuchaphazela imfundo yabo. Iintombi zona ziye ziroxe esikolweni ngenxa yokukhulelwa. Abanye abafundi ziinkedama. Oku kuthi uMam'Msiza uthwele umthwalo wokufundisa abantwana abanemithwalo yabo.
Xa siqwalasela ibali likaMam'Msiza kumele sikhumbule ubume bezemfundo zalapha eMzantsi.Unintsi bootitshala banomsebenzi onzima wokufundisa unintsi lwabantwana nangona urhulumente engabaxhasi ngeencwadi zokufunda ezifanelekileyo (umzekelo eMpuma Koloni naseLimpopo).Oku kuthi umsebenzi wootitshala abaninzi unobunzima obungathethekiyo, kodwa obu bunzima buchaphazela abantu ababiziweyo, yaye basabela.
Ndibanovalo eleke ndicinga ngobizo; ibali likaMam'Msiza kwakunye nabo bonke ootitshala abazibandakanya kulomsebenzi ngenxa yobizo. Nje ngotitshala osandokungena kweliqela lababiziweyo, ndiye ndizithandabuze: ingaba ndingutitshala ofanelekileyo na xa ndizibona nje ngongabizwanga? Ingaba uthini umahluko phakathi kotitshala obiziweyo nongabizwanga? Ndinomrhano: le nto yobizo yeyabantu abathile. Ootitshala abafundisa kwimeko ezimaxongo nezibonakalisa ubunzima balomsebenzi; ngabo ababiziweyo. Kodwa, singathini ngootitshala abafundisa kwizikolo eziphucukileyo? Yintoni ebangela ukuba ootitshala abaninzi banganikezeli xa bedibana nobunzima ezikolweni zabo? Ingaba lubizo?

#TeacherTuesday Week 10: On teaching "creatures"
For the past two months I have been writing about the lives of teachers and their students from across the globe (for a project called
). All these stories have been highlighting the complexities in classrooms and policies that often underpin what happens in the classroom. Most of the reflections I've written for #TeacherTuesday have largely questioned the notion of access to education: inclusion and exclusion. The question of equal education and equal opportunities within education has been the golden thread over the past few weeks. And more importantly, thinking through ways in which education can be a tool for changing lives, especially for those who are often poor or marginalised.
When I read about Sitira from Indonesia I realised that my view about inclusion and exclusion in schools still needs to be challenged. Sitira is a Special Need Education Coordinator at Tunas Harapan Elementary School in Bandung City. There are 672 children in her school and 44 of them have a disability. She reflects that there are many challenges she faces in her school. Dealing with the negative perceptions about people with disabilities means that their education is often not taken seriously and inadequately funded. Many do not get the skills to work or study further once they have completed secondary school.
The word disability is often seen as synonymous with abnormal. In Xhosa people with disabilities or perceived as "special needs" are referred to as "Isidalwa" (literal translation, a creature). This word bothers me because there is a lack of recognition of the humanity of people who do not meet the standards of what it means to be normal. In Grahamstown there's a school that caters to children who have special needs (physical and mental barriers to learning); the school is called Kuyasa Special Schhol. While I lived in Grahamstown and observed and worked in mainstream, township schools I often heard teachers referring to deviant or unacceptable behaviour amongst their "normal" students "wenza ikuyasa" (literally, you are doing a kuyasa, implying something wrong) thus associating Kuyasa with deviance. Such everyday utterances have implications about what it means to be a good or bad student or more importantly about what it constitutes to be human and non-human.
When we consider the reality of the education of children with disabilities, reliable data are notoriously difficult to obtain to get a real sense of the inequality in their access to education. One estimate is that 93 million children under age 14, or 5.1% of the world's children, were living with a 'moderate or severe disability'. Of these, 13 million, or 0.7% of the world's children, experience severe disabilities
. Around four in five children with disabilities are in developing countries. At all ages, levels of both moderate and severe disability are higher in low- and middle-income countries than in rich countries. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest
. The scale of disabilities is often under-reported and therefore difficult to gauge for possible interventions. To take one example, according to GMR 2010, a 2004 census in Sierra Leone reported only 3,300 cases of mental impairment, while a detailed national survey the year before had estimated the real figure to be ten times higher. This is questionable and highlights the shame that seems to be associated with being
If one is in a developing country there are also myths one has to contend with that often perpetuate the silence and stigma around people with disabilities. When I was growing up, I was taught to believe that people with disabilities had made the ancestors angry and therefore their disability was a punishment from the ancestors. For those who were mentally impaired, someone had cast a spell on them to render them senseless and shame their family. The irony of these stories is that there were certain people who were exempt from the myths and shame associated with physical disability. By society's measures my grandmother was
. As a child she contracted polio on both legs. One of her legs healed but the other didn't and she spent most of her life using a walking stick. In spite of the stigma of being disabled, black and female, my grandmother was educated and she was able to become financially independent because she worked and became as a well-known seamstress in East London. With her measly salary she raised her own children as a single mother and later opened a small business sewing for people in her community. My grandmother's story has always made me think differently about the stigma attached to disability. Because she was educated she had the chance to live a public life where she could earn a living rather than become invisible in her family because of the shame that comes with disability. The only limitations that were placed on her were those imposed by an apartheid government which narrowed the opportunities black women could make use of.
The silence and stigma attached to people with disabilities means that there isn't a global recognition of the importance of making education meaningful for a group of people who are often marginalised for their difference. In South Africa a separate ministry for women, children and people with disabilities was created in order to address the rights of people who fall within society's perception of "the vulnerable group". I'm ambivalent about the ministry because on the one hand it aims to recognise that there's a need to protect the rights of certain groups of people, on the other hand, it runs the risk of highlighting what is normal and what is abnormal where the issues of marginalised groups are a footnote in political discourse.

Household hazardous waste poses big problems
Have you ever put a leftover bag of lawn chemicals in the garbage? Leftover motor oil? Driveway sealer? Paint remover? Oven cleaner?
George and Eunice Schermerhorn of Whitehall are too responsible to do that. After a minor spill from a rusted quart of partially used deck stain in their garage, they encased it in plastic bags and a plastic container and began investigating how to safely get rid of it.
What they learned is that they can't, unless they're willing to pay $300 to a private waste-removal company.
They wrote me, "It appears that we are stuck with spending $300 to dispose of two small but leaking cans of hazardous waste, calling our friends in Northampton County to see if they would take these products or finding a secluded spot to dig a deep hole."
I promised to check into it, and I learned that for Lehigh County residents, there are no alternatives for many household hazardous wastes that don't involve paying $300, letting them pile up in your garage or risking groundwater pollution or even a garbage truck fire by disposing of them improperly.
Tim Bollinger, Lehigh County general services manager, acknowledged that all he can do now is offer phone numbers for private services, but he did provide some hope for next year, which I'll get back to.
Among the options the Schermerhorns checked were other counties that have safe disposal programs, but they're all for their own residents only.
Tom Dittmar, Northampton County's environmental conservation coordinator, said they had two household hazardous waste drop-off events at Northampton Community College this year and one last year. He said last year's event drew more than 2,000 cars and 127,527 pounds of household hazardous waste — pretty much swamping them — and that this year's two events combined drew 1,995 cars and 138,320 pounds of waste.
Dittmar, a numbers guy who was quoting these figures off the top of his head, also told me that since the county started doing these events in 2008 (seven in all), it has drawn 8,518 cars and 620,758 pounds of waste.
Needless to say, they're very popular. But not many counties are doing them.
He said each event costs about $40,000-plus, which in Northampton County's case is covered through a 50 percent state reimbursement and landfill fees and other funds from the county's solid waste plan. He holds costs down by "wheeling and dealing" to find companies that will take away certain items and substances for nothing.
The enormous expense of safe disposal is one reason so many counties shy away from taking on this responsibility, but Dittmar said another is the potential for being overwhelmed by the response. People's garages, basements and kitchens are full of substances that are toxic, corrosive or combustible. "You wouldn't believe some of things people bring in," he told me.
I'm not even touching on electronics recycling, which is becoming increasing complicated and expensive.
You can find a good primer on what constitutes household hazardous waste and which items can safely be disposed of by visiting http://www.lehighcounty.org, clicking on Departments and going to Solid Waste Management.
For example, you'll learn that if you have a can of latex paint that's no more than half full, you can mix it with kitty litter, let the whole thing dry and throw it in the garbage, as long as you don't replace the lid.
No such luck with oil-based paint. It's combustible. And don't mix substances together, unless you want a potentially dangerous chemical reaction.
Bollinger told me Lehigh County has evolved from running its own facility in the early '90s, to contracting with companies that would pick up items from people's homes and then to one-day collection events as each approach became too costly. The last of those collection events took place in 2010 before they were discontinued because of the expense.
Bollinger said he gets up to a dozen calls about this some days — and some of them are frustrating. If you have leftover lawn chemicals, he suggests, share them with a neighbor who can use them. If you only used half the deck sealer you purchased, seal the deck again in the spring. "I try to tell people to only buy what you need," he said. "Why go out and buy 5 gallons of paint when you only need 1?"
The good news is that Lehigh County just went through a revision of its solid waste management plan, and Bollinger said it will begin negotiating fees with disposal facilities so they can once again address their common problem of household hazardous waste.
He said, "It's in their best interest as a business and our best interest as taxpayers to come up with something." He hopes they'll have a program in place by mid- to late 2014.
Difficult as the situation is, it's nice to know there are a lot of people who want to do the right thing, even when it's less convenient than chucking that rusty can in the garbage can. "This is a good place to live," George Schermerhorn told me, "and we want to keep it that way."

My husband dared me to go for our walk in the country wearing my cut down jeans, which he loves me to wear.
As we were walking I pulled the shorts up higher, so as he could take photos of my bum. It was very hot and I was getting even hotter, being exposed in public. There's only the seam left in the jeans and my lips are visable when I wear them like that.
Some lads walking past us took there time and had a good look at my bum.
Later when no one was around I pulled my hubby into the trees bent over and started to give him oral, as he felt my tits.
I stood up took off my shorts and bent over for him. He held me by the hips and we f---ed hard and fast.
When we finished I pulled my shorts on and we carried on with the walk, very moist, but worth it.
This is our first submission to you and feedback would be welcome.

New York's 77th Street Metropolitan Transportation Authority station will be renamed in honor of Edward I. Koch, the outspoken three-term New York mayor who died last week, U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney said.
Bertrand Badre, managing director and chief financial officer of the World Bank, and Representative Carolyn Maloney, New York Democrat, dined last night at the French-American Cultural Foundation's 15th anniversary gala.
It took Elin Betanzo eight years to stay home for three months with her first child.
New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority won't approve U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney's proposal to rename a subway station in honor of Edward I. Koch, the three-term mayor who died last week.
Six of the largest U.S. banks have already taken steps to shut down their proprietary trading operations in anticipation of a ban known as the Volcker rule, U.S. Comptroller of the Currency Thomas Curry said.
US Investigations Services LLC, the company that vetted Edward Snowden, risks a federal contracting ban following U.S. fraud accusations, according to former government officials.
A U.S. House committee voted to hold former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify about her role in scrutinizing Tea Party groups seeking tax exemptions.
"Trying to rip up the Constitution and run roughshod over the Bill of Rights is not a path to truth."

MENZNAU, Switzerland (AP) — A longtime employee opened fire at a wood-processing company in central Switzerland on Wednesday, leaving three people dead, including the assailant, in the country's second multiple-fatality shooting in two months, police said.
Seven other people were wounded, six of them seriously, in the shooting at the premises of the company Kronospan, in the small town of Menznau, Lucerne criminal police chief Daniel Bussmann told reporters.
The incident occurred as the Swiss parliament prepares to consider tightening some aspects of the country's famously lax gun legislation.
The assailant, a 42-year-old Swiss male, arrived at the premises shortly after 9 a.m., drew a pistol and started firing. Police spokesman Kurt Graf said the shootings took place in the building's canteen area.
Officials didn't immediately have further details on the weapon or how the assailant acquired it. They also did not know how the assailant was killed.
"A lot of things are unclear at this stage," said Ida Glanzmann-Hunkeler, a Christian Democrat lawmaker who lives near the scene of the shooting.
Glanzmann-Hunkeler said a proposal will be put before parliament in the coming weeks that would require greater exchange of information between the gun registries kept by Switzerland's 26 cantons. Authorities would also record whether a person is considered mentally fit to own a gun, and increase officials' powers to confiscate weapons if they aren't.
But the shooting is unlikely to immediately revive calls for ex-soldiers to store their military-issued firearms in secure army depot. The country has a long-standing tradition for men to keep their military rifles after completing compulsory military service.
This partly accounts for the high rate of gun ownership in the country, where some 2.3 million firearms are owned by a population of about 8 million.

The Dallas Cowboys will kick-off their third game of the NFL preseason against the Miami Dolphins this Saturday night at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida. The game will air on the CBS Network (KTVT – Dallas), as well as several other affiliate stations (see full list below), starting at 6:00 p.m. CST, 7:00 p.m. EST, 4:00 p.m. PST.
This should be the final game fans will have a chance to see the major starters on both sides of the ball, and on both teams, as the fourth and final preseason game is usually reserved for back-ups and/or players on the roster bubble.
Miami fans will have Dick Stockton, Bob Griese, and Nat Moore as their affiliate announcers for the game. While Cowboys fans will recognize the announcing team of Bill Jones and former Dallas back-up quarterback Babe Laufenberg as theirs.
As Sun Life Stadium is an open-air venue, weather will play a factor in this game. Fortunately, weather.com is predicting a clear night for football with a temperature high of 90 degrees and a low of 78. There is also a 10% chance of rain and the wind should be mild, coming out of the NE at 10 mph.
Here's the list of TV stations airing Saturday night's game other than KTVT CBS Network 11 – Dallas.
KMYS (CW/35 – San Antonio)
KEYE (CBS/42 – Austin) [TD]
KOCB (CW/34 – Oklahoma City)

Publisher Comments:
Who do you love?
It's a question anyone should be able to answer. A question that defines a life, creates a future, guides most minutes of one's days. Simple, elegant, encompassing.
Who do you love?
He asked the question, and I felt the answer in the weight of my duty belt, the constrictive confines of my armored vest, the tight brim of my trooper's hat, pulled low over my brow. I reached down slowly, my fingers just brushing the top of my Sig Sauer, holstered at my hip.
"Who do you love?" he cried again, louder now, more insistent.
My fingers bypassed my state- issued weapon, finding the black leather keeper that held my duty belt to my waist. The Velcro rasped loudly as I unfastened the first band, then the second, third, fourth. I worked the metal buckle, then my twenty pound duty belt, complete with my sidearm, Taser, and collapsible steel baton released from my waist and dangled in the space between us.
"Don't do this," I whispered, one last shot at reason.
He merely smiled. "Too little, too late."
"Where's Sophie? What did you do?"
"Belt. On the table. Now."
"GUN. On the table. NOW!"
In response, I widened my stance, squaring off in the middle of the kitchen, duty belt still suspended from my left hand. Four years of my life, patrolling the highways of Massachusetts, swearing to defend and protect. I had training and experience on my side.
I could go for my gun. Commit to the act, grab the Sig Sauer, and start shooting.
Sig Sauer was holstered at an awkward angle that would cost me precious seconds. He was watching, waiting for any sudden movement. Failure would be firmly and terribly punished.
Who do you love?
He was right. That's what it came down to in the end. Who did you love and how much would you risk for them?
"GUN!" he boomed. "Now, dammit!"
I thought of my six- year- old daughter, the scent of her hair, the feel of her skinny arms wrapped tight around my neck, the sound of her voice as I tucked her in bed each night. "Love you, Mommy," she always whispered.
Love you, too, baby. Love you.
His arm moved, first tentative stretch for the suspended duty belt, my holstered weapon.
One last chance . . .
I looked my husband in the eye. A single heartbeat of time.
Who do you love?
I made my decision. I set down my trooper's belt on the kitchen table.
And he grabbed my Sig Sauer and opened fire.
From the Hardcover edition.
"When a Massachusetts State Police trooper shoots and kills her husband, Boston Homicide Det. D.D. Warren sets about figuring out what parts of the trooper's story are true, and, most urgently, where the trooper's missing six-year-old daughter might be. The story is told from two perspectives — the detective's and the trooper's. Kirsten Potter reads the narrative for Warren with a strong, bold voice, and Katie MacNichol creates a nicely contrasting youthful, unsure tone for Trooper Leoni, buckling under family and career pressures. Both performers take on other characters with aplomb, male and female alike, and MacNichol's efforts as a young child are especially successful. Gardner's intriguing crime story takes unexpected turns, and the pace, the suspense, and the mystery make for compelling listening. A Bantam hardcover. (Mar.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

About the Author
One question, a split-second decision, and Brian Darby lies dead on the kitchen floor. His wife, state police trooper Tessa Leoni, claims to have shot him in self-defense, and bears the bruises to back up her tale. For veteran detective D. D. Warren it should be an open-and-shut case. But where is their six-year-old daughter?
As the homicide investigation ratchets into a frantic statewide search for a missing child, D. D. Warren must partner with former lover Bobby Dodge to break through the blue wall of police brotherhood, seeking to understand the inner workings of a trooper's mind while also unearthing family secrets. Would a trained police officer truly shoot her own husband? And would a mother harm her own child?
For Tessa Leoni, the worst has not yet happened. She is walking a tightrope, with nowhere to turn, no one to trust, as the clock ticks down to a terrifying deadline. She has one goal in sight, and she will use every ounce of her training, every trick at her disposal, to do what must be done. No sacrifice is too great, no action unthinkable. A mother knows who she loves. And all others will be made to pay.
Love you more . . .

Welcome to Wine and Dine With Our K-9's
Welcome to Wine and Dine With Our K-9's, our wonderful pack of people and pups!
We enjoy many fun events at various restaurants who welcome our well behaved canine companions to their establishments. In order to keep the proprietors of these restaurants happy so that we may continue to enjoy their hospitality we ask that you adhere to the following basic guidelines to make everyone's dining experience a positive one:
1) Please refrain from letting your dog eat off of the table or from any utensils or dinnerware. Also, if you must excuse yourself during dinner, ask another group member to hold onto your dog/leash rather than taking the dog with you.
2) Please, if the size of your dog permits, carry your dog to and from the dinner table so as to avoid your dog having an "accident" en route to the table, in the dining area or on restaurant property. If you leave the table to walk your dog, please carry your dog to the appropriate place for him or her to do their "business" far away from the dining area and restaurant property and carry your dog all the way back to the table when he or she is done.
3) Please use a belly band if you have a male dog who might lift his leg at the table or on restaurant property.
4) Please keep your dog on your lap if you feel that an "accident" may occur at the dinner table.
5) Please proactively do your best to immediately quiet your dog if barking occurs so as not to cause or continue a chain of barking as sometimes occurs with a group of dogs. If you can't immediately quiet your dog, please remove your dog from the dining area until they are quiet. Allowing your dog to return to the table when they stop barking is positive reinforcement of good restaurant "petiquitte" and they will learn to be quiet while dining out.
6) Please keep your dog either on your lap or on a non-retractable leash close to you while at the dinner table. Retractable leashes are not permitted at the table. Please do not allow your dog to wander about unleashed. Wine and Dine with our K-9s also has a strict policy against the use of choke collars, shock collars, or prong collars. IF YOU ATTEND ONE OF THE MEETUPS AND YOUR DOG IS WEARING ANY OF THESE DEVICES, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE.
7) Please RSVP only if you are definitely attending. A place is being set for you at the table and we can't have empty seats! Restaurant management often go out of their way to accommodate us and we must give an accurate head count. Restaurants that are gracious enough to host us can lose revenue due to "no-shows" and this reflects poorly on our group. If something comes up and you can't attend a meetup you have RSVP'd for please change your RSVP or email the organizer ASAP.
8) For the safety of all Wine and Dine members, both the two- and four-legged variety, children under the age of 18 are not allowed to attend our Meet-ups.
9) Please note that Wine and Dine with our K-9s is a social group for those of us who love our dogs and want to share similar interests and ideas. IT IS NOT A PLACE FOR BUSINESS NETWORKING OR SOLICITATION. If you attend one of our meetups and market or solicit our members, you will be asked to leave.
10) If you find that you must leave the meetup before the rest of the group, please get eith the waiter or waitress to settle your bill before you leave. Do not rely on another member to do this for you - it creates complications for therestaurant, the serve, and for the other members.
NOTE: It is not necessary to RSVP "Not Going" to events you do not plan to attend unless you previously RSVP'd "Going" and then have a change of plans.
It is critical to the existence of our group that the above guidelines are followed!
This is "your" group and we always welcome your ideas and input with the goal of continuing to make Wine And Dine With Our K-9's a huge success.
We invite you to attend one of our meetups before joining to see if our group is a "good fit" for you and your pup. If you decide you want to continue to attend our events, we ask for an annual membership fee of $20 per household to offset the cost of maintaining our web site and for planned group insurance. This one time annual fee effectively eliminates the need to charge a fee for each meetup.
Your dogs are counting on you to show them how to be good dinner guests so that we may continue to enjoy our special times together with all of our Wine and Dine With Our K-9 friends! So, check out all of our upcoming meetups on our calendar, pick one and RSVP now! Many new friends are looking forward to meeting you!

Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - Allen Craig capped a five-run fifth inning with a three-run homer, David Freese extended his hitting streak to 20 games and Michael Wacha earned his first major league victory in the St. Louis Cardinals' 9-2 thrashing of the New York Mets at Citi Field.
Freese had two hits in extending the majors' longest active hitting streak and Craig went 2-for-4 with his fifth homer of the season, paving the way to St. Louis' major league-leading 42nd win of the year and fourth in five games.
"I think we're just a relentless group," said Craig. "When somebody has some success, the top of the lineup guys kind of feed off it and get that confidence going. We kind of just thrive off each other's success."
Things are moving in the opposite direction for the stumbling and recently reshuffled Mets, however. The team dropped their seventh game in eight contests and own the third worst record (23-36) in all of baseball.
New York demoted struggling first baseman Ike Davis, as well as outfielder Mike Baxter and reliever Robert Carson, following the team's fifth straight loss to league-worst Miami on Sunday.
Seven of the Cardinals runs went unearned, including the five scored in the fateful fifth off Jeremy Hefner (1-6), who tossed six frames but was charged with six runs total. The Mets had just five hits.
"We've got to catch the baseball, we've got to pitch better, we've got to hit better," said Mets manager Terry Collins. "It's pretty much the same stuff every night."
In his third career major league start, Wacha (1-0) shook off some early control issues and turned in a stellar performance with six innings of two-run ball.
Matt Holliday had three hits, three runs scored and an RBI in the rout.
Wacha's first road appearance in the majors got off to a bumpy start, but the rookie was able to strand the bases loaded after surrendering a pair of runs during a 37-pitch first inning.
Omar Quintanilla turned on Wacha's seventh pitch and sent it into the seats in right, and after the right-hander issued two of three walks in the frame around an infield hit from Daniel Murphy, Marlon Byrd lifted a sac fly to center for a 2-0 lead.
Craig seemed a bit woozy after his head whipped back against the right-field wall while making a great catch to end the third, but he singled into right in the fourth to put runners on the corners with no one out.
Hefner was scoreless through three, but forfeited a run on Matt Adams' ensuing double-play ball. Freese then grounded out to end the frame, but the Cards broke through for five runs an inning later.
Murphy, filling in at first for the recently demoted Davis, began the fifth with a throwing error on a Jon Jay grounder. Jay moved to third on a double from Pete Kozma and then crossed the plate on Wacha's groundout to short. The Cardinals then took a 3-2 lead after Matt Carpenter walked and Yadier Molina forced a run in with a groundout.
An ensuing infield hit from Holliday put runners at the corners before Craig cleared the bags with a three-run homer to left, giving the Cardinals a 6-2 edge.
New York went without a hit in its final 16 at-bats, and the Cardinals tacked on two more runs in the seventh on a Holliday RBI single and Jay's bases- loaded walk before Shane Robinson homered to start the ninth.
Carpenter went 0-for-4 and had an 18-game hit streak ... Murphy made
his first start of the season at first base. He's made 150 starts at that
position over the course of his career ... New York has lost 11 of its last 14
games at home ... Prior to the game, the Mets recalled outfielder Collin
Cowgill, pitcher Josh Edgin and selected the contract of first baseman Josh
Satin from Las Vegas. Only Edgin saw action on Tuesday, giving up one hit as
well as walking in the run in the seventh, although it was charged to Greg
Burke ... The Cardinals boast the best road record in the majors at 23-10.
There was quite a bit of hitting on the field at Milan Puskar Stadium last weekend, but almost as much action took place in the streets just outside in the hours following West Virginia's upset of visiting Baylor.
Jamie McMurray claimed the pole for the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 -- the first race in the Eliminator Round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship -- by beating Joey Logano in Friday's qualifying at Martinsville Speedway.
The Seattle Seahawks have ruled out seven players for Sunday's matchup with the Carolina Panthers.
The Kansas City Royals came to San Francisco with one goal in mind. Get the series back to Kauffman Stadium.
The New Orleans Pelicans have picked up the fourth-year option on the contract of forward Anthony Davis.
The St. Louis Blues placed center Paul Stastny on injured reserve Friday and recalled forward Dmitrij Jaskin from Chicago of the American Hockey League.

It sure would take alot of them to get full!
I am sorry that happened to you, and those words are not near enough, I know I cannot even imagine the horror. I am sorry someone did that to you.
What I was trying to say is that WE are the fish in the corporate farm and that there is a money making industry attached to the abortion and healthcare issues. The criminals are making us pay, pay, pay and then they decide what kind of care we can have.
I am wondering. Are there and charity abortion clinics? Maybe there are. I know there are charity crisis pregnancy centers who help mothers carry the unborn.
No woman is an incubator. I am taking it that you believe in a Creator? Then, you, fishy, are a wonderful and miraculous creation, not an incubator.
I would not and do not demand anything of you. Yes, I would have encouraged you towards granting life if you were carrying a child and helped you if you wanted it. I am not judge or jury for anyone's actions. There are people who deeply regret their abortions and that would be a terrible trauma to add to a rape. But no one can know but the person in the situation. Not me. I am no one.
That being said, there are 50 MILLION slaughtered humans on American Soil that were not products of rape. They had no opportunity for life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness and were terminated without their own concent, trial, or representation. And I am saying there is a financial reason for that event and someone is making money.
I think our common ground is that we are in a fight for Liberty. Ron Paul says if we do not protect life we cannot protect Liberty. There is meaning to those words and we are seeing them played out here in this forum right here where people are being conditioned to let children die. When we are all tied together in social medicine there is a financial advantage withhold treatment from the sick.
IMO It boils down to the value placed on money vs the value placed on humanity. The beginning of humanity is the unborn child.

Sundays with Seth: A night of criminal activity
I'm not sure if it was by bizarre coincidence or divine -- by which I mean Seth MacFarlane -- intervention, but all three MacFarlane episodes this week were mired in illegal activities. 'Family Guy' saw Meg go from a sweet innocent teenaged girl into a hardened criminal, Cleveland Brown inadvertently became a drug trafficker, while Stan Smith found himself overwhelmed with a drug problem of his own.
And in both 'The Cleveland Show' and 'American Dad,' we got reminders that marijuana isn't really a drug. 'The Cleveland Show' listed for us where we can get it legally (with a prescription), while 'American Dad' mocked the notion of someone becoming addicted to pot to the point they would need rehab.
At least 'Family Guy' kept it simple. Drugs weren't an issue throughout the entire episode, though Meg was certainly acting like she was on drugs. What she was really doing, though, was acting out over years of abuse by everyone around her.
Intervention is back for a fifth season
The season premiere will profile Chad, a gifted athlete who suffers from an addiction to crack cocaine. Chad, once a part of Lance Armstrong's cycling team, now spends his days panhandling, abusing drugs, and drinking. Also on the slate for later this season is Intervention: After Treatment. This one-hour special will feature a panel of past addicts brought together in a Los Angeles studio for a candid discussion about how the intervention changed their lives.
Intervention returns on Monday June 16th at 9 pm. ET/PT on A&E.
Pee Wee says: don't smoke crack - VIDEO
Okay, just for a moment let's set aside the fact that Pee Wee Herman doing a serious commercial about using crack is really, really (unintentionally) funny, and focus on just how logical it was to use that character in the first place.
One assumes this commercial was made when Pee Wee's Playhouse was on the air, which means his main audience was grade school children and not so much the older hipsters who knew the more "adult" Pee Wee character Paul Reubens created while with the Groundlings.
HD-DVD and Blu-Ray DRM cracked
In other words, ripping a high definition disc just became almost as easy as ripping a DVD. In the short term, you can probably expect to see an explosion in high definition films torrents available online. In the long run, we can only hope someone will wrap this hack into a nice little GUI and create an easy high-definition disc backup utility that anyone can use.
UK Big Brother creators planning Rock Star Rehab
The company has approached high profile heroin addict Pete Doherty, the crack-addicted Dominic Masters of The Others and ex-Celeb Big Brother contestant Donny Tourette to appear in the series. The show would essentially lock all these addicts in a house together and film them 24-7. Critics have chastised Endemol for "using drug problems as entertainment and treating addiction like a joke." Really, if you want to be entertained by a bunch of recovering heroin addicts, rent Trainspotting.
Moral Orel: Charity
Shut up, Jesus. -Orel, while on crack
I'd like to kick off this episode recap by recalling, again, some of the funny products shown during last night's episode of Moral Orel:

Hard Milk (spiked milk that Orel's dad drinks before church)
HIV Away (a doctor sprays it on a needle before drawing blood from Orel's arm)
