That's no Lady...That's My SON!!!!

All right, let's begin!
First things first.  I'm going to touch on a sensitive subject but one I feel must be broached. And I mean no disrespect but I feel the following must be made perfectly clear.  Any woman voting Republican this year must have a very low self esteem.
There.
I said it.
Let the hate mail begin.
Why do I feel this way.
A few reasons, not including the obvious that would apply to both male and female voters that voting that way this year will only bring about old, obsolete proven failures of fiscal, social and foreign policies throwing us right back into ruin.
But no I'm speaking more plainly about the several republican comments regarding abortion and a woman's right to self determination.  The most grievous of which being the comments "women can't get pregnant due to legitimate rape" and on the heels of that career harpooning tongue slip comes most recently the comments by Republican Richard Mourdock “I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is that gift from God,” he said. “And I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”
So according to some senate hopefuls God is in the business of sanctioning rape in the pursuit of the continuance of life.
Hunh?
I was under the impression that rape was not only a sin but a pretty grievous one at that.  So not only are they looking to rewrite the constitution but it sounds like they want to do some editing chores on the Bible as well! 
Seriously, maybe your fond of the Rights stance on economics or military strength or social programs but hey, we can all come a little left or a little right and get things to work better (take a hint Congress!) but when it comes to our bodies and our children...
Hands off!
ALL RIGHT...
Gonna totally switch gears now and do something I haven't in a while and regale you with a TV review!  
As a pleasant by product of the digital age when folks have "Shows on Demand" and a slew of choice sights online via Netflix and Hulu to name a few, some TV producers are figuring out that the old methodology of episodic television having a core plot line but heavy on stand alone shows isn't always the only way to go.  Now that folks have the availability to call up entire season of a show as to not be lost, some shows are delving heavily into character driven shows steeped in  continuity.  Often times having a current episode draw heavily or in part to something that had happened many episode before.
Such is my newest fave show that began last season "Once Upon A Time".
ABC, owned by parent company Disney has delved into the well stock vaults of Walt's Megalithic library of classics and come up with a real unique way of retaining copyrights.  
In the wilderness of Maine, nestled on the fringes of a deep forest sits the picturesque New England town of Storybrooke.
Yes,you read that right.
And here, all the fairy tales you new and loved and the characters held within live and breath in our midst.
Confused?
Let me explain.
the pilot episode opens at the wedding of Snow White and Prince charming.  All of the magical realm are in attendance for the nuptials and all stand witness to the arrival of the Wicked step mother as she puts forth her foreboding acclimation that "all will suffer"
Snow white and Prince charming attempt to go about their "happily ever after" and end up having a daughter. Emma.  Eventually the curse is unleashed and in an attempt to survive Gippetto and Pinocchio build a magic chest to protect the royal family from the effects, unfortunately there is only room for one.  In traditional parental sacrifice Charming whisks away the just born Emma and place her in the chest, and Whoosh she 's gone!
The  mighty curse then casts all inhabitants to a realm without Magic.
Our realm. or more specifically, Maine.
The engaging storyline intertwines the here and now in Storybrooke (the wicked step Mother is mayor who adopted Snow whites grandson, Snow White is the local school teacher, and Prince Charming is a recently revived amnesiac who is married to someone else but having an affair with Snow White, Jimney Cricket is human and a psychologist, the seven dwarf work in the janitorial services, Granny and Red Riding Hood run the local diner, the Huntsman in Sheriff, and the biggest bad ass is Rumpelstiltskin who runs the local Pawn Shop Oh and did I mention that no one in town except the Mayor, Rumpelstiltskin, the Mad Hatter and Snow's Grandson know that they are from a Fairy tale (or later revealed just another dimension)) and the past in the magical realm!
WHEW!
But the past is not told in chronological order!  It jumps about revealing interesting little tidbits of info about the many players in this ensemble! 
Here's a couple spoilers of interst.
The Wicked Step Mother wasn't allways so...she got it from her overbearing mother who killed her would be husband.
Little Red Riding Hood wasn't chased, and Grandma wasn't eaten by the Big Bad Wolf...
THEY were the big Bad Wolf.  Lycanthropy style!
Of course there are sly references to a variety of other Disney classics and makes for fun watching when you can pick 'em out!
Check it out on Netflix, they got the whole first season!
And Last but not least!
School was alot different when I went.  Nowadays, seems every week they have some sort of goings on, or special days or dress ups or what have you.  Well as this week at Elijahs High School there having something of a "doubles" day, where apparently you dress to match a friend.  Now as the bulk of Elijahs friends are females...
Oh yea.  I'm not kidding.  Now whereas I would never have considered dolling myself to attend school he apparently has no apprehension of attending school dressed like this...

Oh.
makes a father so proud...
All right, I'm going to go and review all the wrong choices I've made in life.
Night!
