Our nation needs to insure that ALL children have the same opportunity to aquire a good education. Parents, interested persons , should all challange the local school systems to do the very best they can to educate the youth of today. I’ve seen some high school graduates who couldn’t speak proper English, or could barely write letters!
ReplyWhat’s even scarier is COLLEGE graduates who can’t speak proper English!
I agree. It takes a village to educate our children. I don’t have any children, but have no problem with paying school taxes because it benefits us all to have an educated society.
Reply….needs to be forwarded to La Lollie…. her kids haven’t seen a school from the inside, yes ?
ReplyIf what is reported is fact, then Pax is in deep doo-doo educationally. Zahara is supposedly special needs, and who knows what education they are giving poor little Shiloh. Jolie really seems to dislike her blood daughter, you can see it in photos where she holds tightly to the other child with her, but on uses her thumb to hold shi’s hand. Weird. Imagine when Shiloh is 16 and competition for mom…holy batchyt Jolie will blow
ReplyI had to sign back in to see the new topic again. If I don’t all I see is 20 posts on the old topic.
Well wearing that scooped shirt certainly got the attention she wanted , didn’t it? In just one month?
Big difference from that leather dress she wore to the Premier.
Two more years, that is about all she has before Madd decides to rebel and tell her where to get off, those wonderful years , before they become teens, even preteens. He and Pax will be figting for the stability and friendships they have not had. Can’t keep dragging them around for much longer. Would she settle down in New Orleans, or LA to raise the kids, because it is very doubtful they will stay in France and use that as their primary residence. Josephine Baker she is not.
ReplyThat’s what the Jolie-Pitt’s need to do! Move to Chicago, and enroll the kids in that school system. I loved Chicago when i lived there! Amazing city! So much to do, explore. Fantastic down town jazz clubs, Resurection Mary at the cemetary on Halloween Night party…It was an awesome town. I met a former football/baseball star who lived near me in Hinsdale…Bo something or other …been awhile so my mind is drawing a blank….sorry.
ReplyKate, i doubt they will put the kids in any formal schooling system. Too many prying eyes ready to report to state agencies the bites , bruises, lack of learning, etc. those kids will show imo. I know of some families we had to deal with in my office once who resorted to home schooling in Missouri to prevent that very thing. Eventually though, when they came to do a home check, they were discovered falsifying the reports and got into a law suit over retaining the children.
ReplyKate, Bill O’Riley, on Fox News tonight called her arm scarey skinny…lol. It’s pretty bad when a national news anchor speaks of it, or that her skinneyness is national news! The End Is Coming….@Kate:
Reply@Pattyanne:
..not only did he say ‘ scary skinny ‘ …. but also…. I hope nothing bad is happening to her …
He is friends with JV…. I wonder if he wanted to him him get the truth out and her into rehab….
ReplyWhere are the holy family these days? I think Ange took the two older girls to some third world photo op- nice for them- but the the himbo and the rest seem to have gone underground. There must be something up with the Clomid twins if they are not paraded daily. I wonder if they have learned to close their mouths yet? What am I saying. how could they. Neither of their parents seems able to keep their mouths closed in any sense, literally or otherwise.
ReplyYo so what is the update on the PRwhoralina cover stories?! Do we think Angie starved herself to try to make people feel sorry for her cos she knew the “Evil Angie tried to wreck Jen Aniston’s career and can’t believe she is still around storyline”? It has to be to me. She has clearly lost a significant amout of weight since her last photo opportunity. Poor Angie, has she resorted to the Victoria Beckham book of tricks to get attention/press these days? Well if you can’t pop out/buy/borrow any more babies what else can you do to make the covers I guess. Scary skinny is a pretty tried and tested method. Nicole Richie, Kate Bosworth et al have all made good use of it before now!
Reply@Ms Agatha:
ReplyOhhhh so you think JV asked B O’R to say that? Interesting thought Aggie!
@Tamara:
…. Missed you ! lol …. yes, and he did it in such a clever way , so she can’t sue him…. he managed to declare her as a Patriot at the same time….. smart way to get it out to the general public that she is dangerously skinny…..now Papa and Mama next door now it too…. 
ReplyHi
know it too…. bad bad typo….
Reply@Ms Agatha:
ReplySo what’s going on here, were there a bunch of comments deleted or something….there aren’t many comments here or on the other thread, did something happen while I was away??
@Tamara:
Reply…. nothing of importance really …boring stuff …check home
LOL – Okaaaaaaay….just seems awfully quiet around here….but hey, it’s Friday so everyone must be out about about
Replyor rather, out and about! LOL
ReplyGood Morning All! Hope you’re having a great weekend so far – me? Oh just the usual laundry housecleaning start to the Saturday – hope someone is doing something more fun then that! LOL
ReplyHi ya’ll. Lavonda told me to come by and say hello. She’s down in Big Spring trying to help out Bitsy with a little trouble with the po po. Her bein’ on parole and all it’s a sticky situation.
Anyhoo, yep someone sure needs to set the adjenda for the public schools. It’s downright shameful how folks can’t spell or nothing ain’t it Patty Anne?
ReplyBrad Pitt’s co-star in I.B. , Samm Levine, says “Brad Pitt does it (smokes marijuana ) legally”. When the TMZ reporter asked Samm what did he mean by “legally?”, Samm replied, “In other countries”….watch the video

Brad Pitt Doesn’t Share
Posted Sep 20th 2009 12:05AM by TMZ Staff
While everyone is familiar with a Spike Lee Joint, not everyone has had a Brad Pitt one.

So, this is how he shows he is “super dad”?, or is this how Angie Jo trashes her baby daddy? Pre separation announcement? She’s the Innocent One (cough, cough, H addict, cough) and Brad is the Bad One….nah, never work Angie Jo…you two are a reflection of one another.
Combine this with Bill O’Riley’s comments on Angie Jo’s extreme weight loss just recently, and his concern for her future health if this continues…hummmm. War Of The Roses using the press? Bill O’Riley is a close friend to Jon Voight, perhaps another call for an intervention for daughter dearest?
Reply@Pattyanne:
Or another bloomin’ PR scheme to make us sympathetic to Ms Jolie? I am highly dubious of this weight loss business, like Kate said I think she wore that top on purpose to expose her skeletal collar bones – how convenient. This woman will use anything to try to gain public sympathy. Remember that story leaked to Ian about her being suicidal and saying so in front of her SIX CHILDREN (well we all know that was a lie for a start!) and all the “poor Angie” BS stories in the press for the last 6 months? This is just a more extreme version of that in my view. People haven’t been buying the poor Angie news too well which she will know from her perusal of comments on internet gossip sites! Hence the more depserate strategy of making herself look as physically fragile as possible. Celebs do this type of thing all the time to get the public on their side, they are advised on it by their PRs. (I believe Vicky Beckham was told to wear flat shoes in her publicity pics with Becks after the news of his affair with Rebecca Loos broke – to make her look more vulnerable and thereby sympathetic apparently!) Angie of course will take any of these PR moves to their zenith. Hence her latest “on death’s door” look. I don’t buy it. Woman knows exactly what she’s doing IMO. It won’t work Angelina, people had you sussed a long, long time ago!
Reply@Keane Cyber Queen Supreme:
ReplyCould very well be Keane. We all know Brad has said many times how manipulative Angie Jo is…i don’t think she makes one move in front of the paps without putting plenty of thought into each move beforehand. As you mentioned her attire, i took a second look and agree. Inappropriate top for the country she’s in, disrespectful also. Most of the press has relegated coverage of this to obscure areas of their publications/postings. Her star is on it’s way d.o.w.n.
@Keane Cyber Queen Supreme:
ReplyAll I wanna know is: did he fire the staffer that gave him the black shoes with the gold BPs?? hahahaha!! What was he thinking…seriously!!
@Tamara:
ReplyI thought that was very considerate of the staffer …… in case BP finds himself passed out on the floor of a Spanish bar…….. whoever finds him knows who he is… just like one of those ID tags in hospital….hahaha
@Ms Agatha:
ReplyHey MS A – I think Shiloh picked out his clothes…lol
@rori:
…… yes, his socks and baggy clothes ….. but the shoes maybe in 10 years from now….. that’s how long it will take the kids to finish 1st grade …..for those shoes you need to be able to read ….. hahaha…
Reply@Ms Agatha:
ReplyWell I think Shiloh picked the shoes because they are her FAV… They look like house slippers (he must wear them w/ PJ’s).. I am sure in that household everything has to be initialed or else Shi would borrow Mad’s or Pax’s clothes… or vice versa………..LOL
Lol rori~! Good point, we all think Bradley is losing so many gray cells that he will need all his clothes identified soon. So far he seems to be finding the right front door to enter, but for how long? Seems to me, the more time he spends with Quentin, the worse it gets between him and Angie Jo…..and that “slip” Quentin made about Brad giving him the brick of Hash to smoke…was it really a slip? or was Brad planting that to get at Angie? As a co-star of Brad’s in I.B., Samm Levine , said in a recent interview, “Brad smokes it legally”….so this interviewer asks him, “Legally? What is that?”, to which Samm replies, ” In other countries”…lmboooooooooo
ReplySome stylist might have told him that those shoes are popular in Spain right now, and he was endorsing a Spanish designer…that’s the reason for the hats he was wearing for a bout a year.
ReplyHis financial disclosure that i came across somewhere showed that the majority of his income comes from Japanese commercials and other foreign country ad campaigns….as quickly as he’s losing his looks, he’d better get all he can quickly! Saw the video ad for Vince Vaughn’s new movie, and he looked sexier in boxers than Bradley does nude!!
Reply@Tamara:
Reply…the reason he wears these hats is that he wanted to win SOMETHING this year ….. and yes, he won finally !… The Headwear Association announced that Brad Pitt has been crowned as the association’s Hat Person of the Year !!!….. yeaaaahhhhh …
@Tamara:
Reply…not sure if he is trying to pull this off with the shoes too ….lol
…..but def not getting the ‘ Barber’s Association Award 2009 ‘ …. no matter how hard he tries….
Reply…. about the shoes….. I think he was expecting women falling at his feet … in case they wanted to give face to his initials ….. lol

Replybb14. If the the Jolie-pitts are in France wouldn’t it have been possible that airport people would have seen all the kids including the twins (if they exist) surely some-one must have seen them pass thru. Maybe they were well-paid to shut-up. Just a theory.
Reply@benjaminbutton14:
How are you doing bb14?
ReplyHi bb14: maybe they flew into a private airport in a private plane and their private security would not let anyone who is “not private” see anything! ha ha
@benjaminbutton14:
ReplyHey BB! Haven’t seen you in ages…how are you doing?
Did anyone see Obama on Letterman last night? It looked like they erected a huge tent off the side of the building, the presidents car drove right into the tent, and he was able to get out of the car and in the back door without being see by anyone on the street…very effective….
Reply@Tamara:
Reply…that’s to show the importance of stealth…. up the feet and high the glass ..quack
@Ms Agatha:
ReplyLOL … Aggie, you are so funny!
@Tamara:
ReplyWell, there’s using the noggin, aye? Makes it rather difficult for the crazies to target something they can’t see. Last thing I’d want to see is our President making unwise choices and wrecklessly putting himself out there.
Hello Togi~!
ReplyHow is the daughter and the kitten? Hope all is well with your family, it’s so scarey when a child is that ill……
Did your family enjoy the weekend at the cabin? We love camping in the mountains of Kentucky, hubby deer hunts, and i quilt hunt….lol
Quack~!
I wanted to watch it, but was not feeling well enough to stay up for it…what with the temp, and the tossin cookies…arghhhh! But i read a cute comment Obama made about the supposed discriminating comment made about him….”I was black before the election”…lmboooo. He could have his own late night show imo
ReplyQuack~!@Tamara:
@Togi:
Reply…….my creativity just keeps flowering and flowering …… ROFLMAOBSAOTPAKTFOWPM
It’s all that fertilizer Aggie….Wink~!@Ms Agatha:
Reply@Pattyanne:
Replyhahahaha…. up the glass and cheers to you !
@Togi:
ReplyHey Togi! How have you been, havent seen you for awhile….LOL at the unwise choices…ITA. I heard that Obama’s approval rating is now down 85%, that’s quite a lot!!!
@Tamara:
ReplyHi, I’ve been away for a month travelling all around the good old USA and had a ball except for the hot weather can’t stand the humidity, especially in New Orleans but I loved that city thinking of going back next year.
@ladybert62:
ReplyHi Am back in the swing of things now have been back for 2 weeks and feel like I need another holiday, have to tell you I loved SF except for the area we were in. My second choice I loved was New Orleans the heat was ok everywhere but I hate the humidity it really got to me but we did just fine. The tour guide we had in SF was amazing the places he took us to and the views we saw were just breathtaking. I have read MJ’s book by Ian and found it really good well done to Ian. I am looking forward to the Brangie one coming out but it won’t be released here. I have US money over and was wondering if I sent you the money for postage and all that goes with it would you be able to send me a copy when it becomes available, if you can’t I understand.
