I Laughed Out Loud at Merritt’s Column
I just had a chance to read Merritt’s column for this week. (Again, our paper isn’t posted online for this weeks yet.) I literally laughed out loud at this one. Here’s my favorite part, as a tease:
I asked one of my daughters what she thought about the cell phone ban. She said, “the president and City Hall know what’s right for us. This is a free country, but we have to be safe.”

Have you ever tried to switch a call from handset mode to bluetooth while driving?? That’s exactly what you now need to do as you’re about to enter a school zone!!! I think that the local government fad of banning cell phones in school zones is actually LESS SAFE. Further, there hasn’t been a single cell-talking-driver incident with a school kid reported ANYWHERE!
I’m opposed to the ear thingy, it’s dorky.
Oh, Merritt, the ear thingy is so not dorky. You just haven’t tried one. Give it a whirl, girl. It accentuates my eyes like nothing else. Once you have a blue light constantly pulsing and reflecting against your temple, you’ll never go back; you won’t care one iota about the alien effect. You, too, will become so dependent upon this fashion tool that you won’t leave the house without one, much less drive again without one, or show up to your next party without one. Plus, the blue-light ear thingy is so Star-Trekky, and as we all know, Star Trek is back and so now, so in-the-cool. These pulsating-blue “ear-buds” easily trump, in coolness, the laminated security-badge name tags we have so come to love. So, please, do give these new ear-piece thingys their due.
