Nov. 16 Day No. 4 at Disney World.....

Today was one of my open days at the park.
I decided to go back to Hollywood Studios. Mostly, I wanted to see the Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights again. It was amazing. Talk about getting in the Christmas spirit.
I spent the day making the rounds on the rides again. Several trips through the Tower of Terror of course. lol...
I stopped to get my picture taken with Mickey in the Art of Animation building. I was wearing my trading pins and one of them had a spinner on it and Mickey had fun spinning it. :p
Knowing that I was starting to run low of memory card space I stopped into a photography shop to see if they carried any. They did have a couple of different cards, of course not the kind my camera takes, naturally. Must try to conserve a little.
I stopped into the Muppet souvenier shop and was talking with the lady at the cash register and she was telling me that I had to stop at this one little coffee shop and get a carrot cake cookie and a glass of hot chocolate to stroll through the dancing light display. So when it got to be time to go watch the light display I went to the coffee shop and ordered my cookie and hot chocolate. I told the girl at the register why I was getting them, and she whole heartily agreed that it was necessary.
The carrot cake cookie was to die for. YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They so need to market those cookies.
I spent the rest of the eveing pretty much just hanging out at the dancing light display. I recorded several of the dancing lights display. So much for conserving. lol.....
It was a nice relaxing day ending with a great helping of Christmas Cheer. :)

Gingrich Calls Child Labor Laws ‘Stupid’, Wants to Replace Janitors with Poor Kids
By

In an anti-government diatribe that would be funny if he weren’t serious, GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich told a crowd at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government yesterday that child labor laws are “tragic” and “stupid” and have “done more to create income inequality in the United States than any other single policy.” In a proposal that he freely admitted was “extraordinarily radical,” he called for firing all school janitors and replacing them with poor students. Politico reports:

“This is something that no liberal wants to deal with,” Gingrich said. “Core policies of protecting unionization and bureaucratization against children in the poorest neighborhoods, crippling them by putting them in schools that fail has done more to create income inequality in the United States than any other single policy. It is tragic what we do in the poorest neighborhoods, entrapping children in, first of all, child laws, which are truly stupid.” [...]

“Most of these schools ought to get rid of the unionized janitors, have one master janitor and pay local students to take care of the school. The kids would actually do work, they would have cash, they would have pride in the schools, they’d begin the process of rising.”

Did Michele Bachmann Really Expect to Get Away With Her Jesse James Story?
Thursday 24 November 2011
by: Chris Rodda, Truthout | News Analysis

Michele Bachmann has been making quite a habit of revising her family history since entering the GOP primary race. Needing to sound more Iowan while campaigning in the all-important state of Iowa, she became a 7th generation Iowan, turning the story of her Norwegian immigrant ancestors into something straight out of Little House on the Prairie.

Bachmann probably never expected anyone to fact check her little family history story, but that's exactly what I did. And, as I suspected when I first heard her telling it at Iowa's "Rediscover God in America" conference back in March, her story was far from the truth, as I detailed in a piece I wrote in April [3]. Then, in August, Ryan Lizza included a summarized version of my debunking of Bachmann's story in his New Yorker article, "Leap of Faith: The making of a Republican front-runner [4]."

Now, you'd think the realization that her fantastic family history stories were, indeed, being fact checked would have stopped Bachmann from using them. But, no. She's just kept on using them.
