Morning JoeThose of you in my 1st and 5th know that I am usually a little crazy in the morning. My little tirades are usually fueled by segments from this program. It's three hours of sheer excitement for me. Waking up to Joe, Mika, Willie, Barnicle and others is a great way to get my day started. I record this religiously and it's the first thing on as I get ready to come to school. What's scary is that A.J. and Melissa know to fast forward the commercials so that dad can see more content. Get a DVR or be ready to wake up at 3:00 am Mon-Fri to catch this program.

Los Angeles TimesI know, I know, it's anti-teacher, and sometimes their paper is actually thinner than our school newspaper, but it is our hometown paper after all. This is what I read as I am walking up the stairs before you hear me say, "Heyyyyy Youuuuuuu!" It's not the greatest but it does focus in on California and other local issues. The Sports section is not as great either but they do have TJ Simers. A must read for all of you that love it when sports heroes are treated as regular human beings.

The Washington PostWhen it comes to politics and covering National news this is it. They cover Washington like your tia does the block. They know all the chismes going on in Washington. I love this paper and read it daily. They have a free app you can download. I also love it because you can increase the size of the font and it's much easier to read. The LA Times' font increase is not as good.
