Katy Perry should NOT be on Seseame Street but not because of her boobs

i recently read about how Katy Perry's 'duet' with Elmo was scrubbed
after complaintsshe showed too much cleavage. HA!
first of all, she really isn't all that endowed,
and secondly, the outfit was 10 times more conservative
than we have ever seen in ANY of her videos or award show performances.
No, the reason Perry should not dancing with our fav little red
monster is her SONGS.

they are FULL OF NOT SO GOOD MESSAGES FOR ANYONE, MUCH LESS
THE UNDER 25 or under 5 CROWD.

i personally despise the "E.T." song she does with the male
singing such finethings as "i'm going probe you, i abducted
you so i control you" -
WTF? i make it a rule to change the radio station every time
that song comes up.
and i will leave my thoughts about Ke-sha for another time.

One of the reasons Sesame Street producers gave for doing such
features with contemporary actors and musicians is to make the
show entertaining  for both parents and children. i'm sorry but
as a parent, you make sacrifices for your children on a
daily basis and having to endure 'kiddie friendly' programing is
one of them.PERIOD.
time goes by fast and soon enough, you'll be dancing with your
teenage daughter to MTV, unless of course, they are playing the
following song.

but i stray from my original ranting and raving LOL

Perry's latest song to hit the airwaves [at least in my neck of
the woods] is Friday T.G.I.F. talk about GLAMORIZING and
SUGARCOATING and ENCOURAGING binge drinking, this takes the
cake. or should i say 'takes the keg'?

the following are just a few gems from this 'DON'T EVER, EVER
WANT MY DAUGHTER SINGING THIS SONG' [oh and i just HATE it when
said daughter tells me excuses like the lyrics
are just a metaphor! i have also been known to 'shut down'
rhianna and eminem]


There's a stranger in my bed 
There's a pounding in my head
Glitter all over the room
Pink flamingos in the pool
I smell like a minibar 
DJ's passed out in the yard
Barbies on the barbecue
Is this a hickey or a bruise?  
Pictures of last night
ended up online I'm screwed,
oh well It's a blacked-out blur  
but I'm pretty sure it ruled, damn!  
Last Friday Night Yeah,
we danced on table tops
And we took too many shots  Think we kissed,  but I forgot 
Last Friday night Yeah,
we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bars
So we hit the boulevard
Last Friday night
We went streakin in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a menage a trois 
Last Friday night Y
yeah, I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna
stop op owwhoaa
This Friday night, (do it all again)
This Friday night, (do it all again)
Trying to connect the dots 
Don't know what to tell my boss
Think the city towed my car
Chandelier's on the floor
Ripped my favorite party dress
Warrants out for my arrest 
Think I need a ginger ale
That was such an epic fail

just call out the SWAT team! don't cancel fireworks

with the state of Texas under a burn ban [all the counties except for a few along the OK/TX border] i wasn't too surprised that the fireworks for the 4th of July were cancelled - my son was especially disappointed but i was SHOCKED to discover the real reason why this was so..... the police dept feared too big of a crowd. for some reason, the mentality seemed to be that since Austin and San Antonio had cancelled their shows, the department feared thousands upon thousands of out-of-towners would descend upon San Marcos and controlling the crowds of people pushed the department to cancel our show. REALLY? REALLY?

why wasn't the SWAT team put on call instead?
during the last 2 weeks ALONE, the San Marcos Police have called out the SWAT team 3 times -

case 1. man robs shopper in walgreens parking lot with knife - poor thing, she lost the $3 she had on her and i'm sure she had the sh*t scared out of her. police follow suspect to home and since the crime was a 'violent' attack and he didn't seem to come out of the residence immediately, the SWAT team was called out. no firearms found but suspect apprehended.

case 2. a fight at a party breaks out and a man and woman are accused of stabbing and kicking fellow party-goers [no one was killed but a several were injured nonetheless] and again, due to the violent nature of the crime, the SWAT team was called upon to apprehend the suspects. of course, one of them was released on a PR bond - so violent as to warrant the SWAT team but not so bad as to have to put up bail? WHAT?

case 3. the last and most tragic case, involved the death of an Iraqi veteran and Texas State student; the san marcos are alerted by a suicide crisis center and an officer arrives at the scene and told by fellow roommates that the vet is armed. and you guessed it, the SWAT team arrived however, by the time they actually entered the building, it was too late. the newspaper article states the young man killed himself prior to the arrival of the police.
