explain to their very nice and infinitely patient non-Puerto Rican teacher what Reggaeton is.

hey, kat p, can you explain it to me?

You know, depending on the laws in AZ and UT, they can probably go after the fathers for child support.

In some polygamous communities, the mothers don't say who the father is just for that reason. It helps with the welfare system, too.

the court can compel a paternity test, but not without the mother starting the proceedings.

So, um, we could make wars to send the young men off to so that the old men can get into heaven, bowm chikka bowm bowm?

I'm a teensy bit surprised that no one's recruiting these Lost Boys to fill the Army's monthly quotas Synergy.

I have a pharmacological type question. At some point in the not to distant future, I am going to run out of my Claratin D 12 hour, but I still have a buttload of just plan Claratin, 24 hour I'd like to use up. Is it safe to use it with an OTC decongestant when one is needed?

God, that's just awful. So cruel. If that's what they do to their boys, their babies, who commit such heinous sins as wearing T-shirts and owning CDs, I can't even imagine what it must be like for the (no doubt deeply closeted) gay teens there.

Gah. I'm gonna be kept up tonight, just thinking about 17-year-old boys sitting in the social workers' offices, weeping because they miss their moms.

And I'm still wondering and worrying about the poor kid whose parents have had him committed to a reeducation camp. Any updates on him, or on the school's reaction to protestors showing up?

Are you at all familiar with Daddy Yankee, Kat? He has a hit out now, "Gasolina", that is kinda what the reggaeton thing is all about. It's a style of Puerto Rican dance music that mixes dance hall beats with salsa and rap en espanol. It is very good music for to make with the lewd and inappropriate dancing.

And, hey, Perkins! I so very much owe you an e-mail and a date. I'm'a get on that before the end of the day, I swear.

Cool. That way, I can keep being lazy and not email you.

I'd think after a certain critical mass point of abandoned children, prematurely ended educations, and child brides being wed to bigamists, Social Services should be able to do a big investigation/raid and place some of those "defiant" kids with families that actually know how to parent.
