This Week, Peggy Directs Your Attention to a Guy Named Kieran Who's Taking Orders From America Starting Today

Naturally, my first task today is to remind you that Father’s Day is THIS WEEKEND! Don’t forget to pick up a card or the phone or something to say, “Hey Dad, Have a Great Day!”

Now that that’s done, check out ourprisoner.com, the latest in reality/website “crap”. Starting today, this guy will not be leaving his house or making any decisions for himself. Most of the readers of this site either do not have children, or do not have children living at home. So, if you feel like bossing someone around for the next six months, you have Kieran. You decide what time he gets up and how, what to wear, what to eat, what to workout in, what type of haircut he should get, and various people he should meet with or have lunch with. He will have therapy sessions live online with his therapist. He and the others running the site are anticipating a “dating” section for the site, but let’s not get our hopes up too high.

It’s an interesting scenario. On one hand this guy has decided to give up his freedom, on the other hand, he doesn’t feel as though he can be trusted to make decisions for himself. It’s like that episode of Seinfeld where George decides to start doing the opposite of what he would do. Keiran says he still lives at home and has never made more than $6000/year in his life. How much damage can the world do?

You can start voting now for the next couple of days. Remember, he is hoping that people will help him improve his situation. What will you do?

This starts at 10am EST TODAY.

You cannot just toss the old meds out. That just poisons the earth. You must gather then all up in a sack and take to the nearest pharmacy to be disposed of correct
