Barbara J. Cook (Cookie) is enjoying living in the panhandle of Florida educating special needs children in a middle school (ask her about it sometime!). In order to de-stress, Cookie runs, reads, and (w)rites, and yes, she cooks too recipesbycooki.blogspot.com (that’s another reason she runs!) Cookie lives with her Mr. Cookie and chickens, dogs, cats and various others. Growing up in Europe as a child and spending several years as a military wife, Cookie learned to appreciate and respect diversity in people choosing to live by the phrase, “agree to disagree”. What is important to Cookie is- family, faith, and fun. Cookie is involved in PolitiChicks because—as she says, “If we don’t, who will?” hubpages.com asmileisallittakes.com.
Public Education 2013-Style
I am a public school teacher, and a damn good one, too! Welcome to my world. I have taught a variety of subjects the past 11 years, focusing on children with behavior problems at the High School level. I have taught all subjects, including Middle School World Cultures, American History, [...]
Haters, Sperm Donors and Condoms—Oh My!
Lately I have been overloaded with insane articles. Here’s a recap of some of the craziest in the past few weeks. CATHOLICS ARE HATERS! The White House has a petition trying to ban the Catholic Church. The reason for the ban is because the church is being considered a “hate [...]
Guns and Antidepressant Drugs: A Middle School Teacher’s Point of View
Allow me to preface this article by saying that the shootings in Connecticut are a travesty and my prayers go out to the community and family members who lost someone that day. Is the solution banning guns? I think one place to start is considering information regarding mental health. First [...]
Vanilla or Chocolate—New Flavors Of Liberal Racism?
Vanilla or chocolate–hmm, let’s see, what am I talking about – maybe cake or ice cream? No. According to the “illustrious” Cornell West, “vanilla” would be the white children who were murdered in the Connecticut shooting. Does this mean it wouldn’t be offensive to Mr. West if I call him [...]
The Fat Lady Hasn’t Sung!
Fellow Americans, yes, we lost the battle, but we did not lose the war! Americans are resilient and we will come back as a great nation! We have done it before and we will do it again. How many of us in our private lives have overcome tremendous odds? That’s [...]
Clinton’s Revenge on Obama?
Clinton and Obama, best buds or arch rivals? It would appear that they both have dirt on each other and at any given moment that dirt could be spilled. During the Vice Presidential debate, the topic of the attack on the Libyan embassy came up. Biden responded (or rather interrupted) [...]
Proud To Be Me – Don’t Hate!
I am a white, redheaded, freckled American and proud of it!! I believe people should be proud of who they are. I believe we don’t have to agree to get along. I believe in family. I believe the Bible (all of it). I believe in marriage between one man and [...]
He Loves Me , He Loves Me Not….Or He Lies , He Lies Not…
“Fool me once, shame on you, but fool me twice and shame on me” – ever heard that said before? Kind of reminds me of the current jargon we’re hearing from the left about how Obama has changed the United States and how good he is for the country. Obama [...]
Barack, Tell Us You Didn’t!
All the mainstream media outlets continuously reported that the film, Innocence of Muslim, was the root cause of all the rioting in the Middle East. Now we know this wasn’t the case after all and was actually what we assumed it was in the first place-a terrorist attack. But about [...]
A Letter to Obama From a Frustrated Teacher
Dear Mr. Obama, When I first saw you on television I was impressed with such an articulate, fluid, charismatic orator. You were passionate and clear with your message and vision for America. There would be transparency and no more back room deals. You would be the first half-black and half-white [...]
Barack, Whose Side Are You On?
All the media outlets are reporting on the film, Innocence of Muslim, as the root cause of all the rioting in the Middle East. Here in the United States people have the right to free speech that is protected by The First Amendment. The First Amendment provides Freedom of speech. [...]
Are There Double Standards Regarding Threats?
Double standards run amok about what is permissible and what is not permissible in regard to threats, or perceived threats to individuals. Two articles came to my attention within a 24-hour period and the hypocrisy is so blatant that one has to wonder what the left is thinking, if in [...]
