Let’s see, we as a nation take recess out of the schools, and promote policies that protect child predators, so that it’s too dangerous for kids to go outside and play or walk to school…and we’re surprised when the kids get fat?

Unfortunately, the government is stepping in to “help.” Remember the No Child Left Behind legislation that was oh-so-effective in improving the educational experience of American students? Well, now some folks want to add an amendment to that legislation to “fix” the problem of childhood obesity.

Parents! Where are you?!

Mashable featured a great new site today, called LiveNewsCameras.com:

On the whole, LiveNewsCameras is a simple invention, but something that a number of news junkies will find appealing, particular when away from the television set. Furthermore, those interested in viewing news from time zones or regions unique from their own can make some use of the broad selection of channels delivered through the new site. In addition to a broad swath of US-bases news channels, LiveNewsCameras provides viewers with one-click access to videos streams, including regular weather reports as well as international broadcasters like BBC World, Sky News, France 24, Al Jazeera, and NHK Japan.

I checked it out, and it is incredible. There are over 200 feeds already. I watched live from the Pentagon, as Bush greeted the atheletes and fans at the Wounded Warriors Bike ride. There are news and weather channels all over the U.S., and about 16 abroad. This is a news junkie’s dream. Check it out.

The only thing that could make this better is a way to embed this on a blog.
