A student group at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is cornering the market on farce. An organization called Just Words has banned the use of “politically correct,” dubbing it “micro-aggression.” Other no-nos are: “lame,” “normal,” “mothering,” and “fathering.”
I have a stock tip. I just received an offer to exchange my 159 shares of GE, a winner for me since I purchased it in the early 90’s, for Synchronicity Financial. The inducement is seven bucks per $100 worth of the stock, about $200 if I understand it correctly. I’m sticking with GE, which pays a dividend, while SF does not. This probably means that SF will rally and GE will remain mired in the rut it’s been in for several years. Don’t say I didn’t tell you.
My thanks to the kind folks who bought, donated and swapped books. The session was highlighted by visits from two dynamite women. Mira, a 29 year-old Ukrainian immigrant mom in her first semester at St. Joseph's College, was beaming. She scored a 95 on her speech on childhood obesity. Kudos, my dear. Later, a beautiful blonde -- I mean Hollywood beautiful -- doubled back and looked into a box of non-fiction. She picked out One Decision: Make the Smart Choice That Will Lead to a Life of More by Judith Wright. She was all business. How I would love to know what that decision might be. Of course, I was thinking porn or not to porn. She'd be a millionaire in no time if she went that way.
