In “Parks and Recreation” Leslie bothers her Congressman in order to not have a portion of the parks and recreation budget cut.  However, instead of cutting parks and recreation he instead cuts the budget of an animal shelter which means all of the animals it cares for will be put to sleep.

This makes the evening news and Leslie is accused of being an animal murderer.  As a counter against these allegations Leslie tries to come up with some sort of way that she can avoid cuts to the parks and save the animal shelter.

The theme for this week Dancing with the Stars episode was rock n’ roll which meant a plethora of Mohawks, painted faces and huge 80’s hair that we all thought we had escaped.  But, no season of Dancing with the Stars is fulfilled without its handful of injuries, injuries, injuries.

No one had bigger hair this week than the beautiful Brooke Burke, her performance was good but also not memorable.

Gladys Knight and Tristan MacManus really tried their hardest to perform well to Bohemian Rhapsody which was a rather difficult song.  Their efforts were stringent but not good enough.  The judges acknowledged that they appreciated the effort that the two put in but they were a bit sloppy and their posture could have been stronger.  Altogether the judges were not impressed by the dance moves but more-so by Gladys’ costume.

In this week’s episode of The Spotlight, Vanessa has just been nominated for an award that honors the Volunteer Parent of the Year, an annual award at Eve’s school.  Since the principal told her she should prepare a few words, it must mean that she is going to win.

Presently, Vanessa is getting some sun but her relaxation is interrupted as Mike tells her that famous football star, Peyton Manning, came in to the Outdoor Man.

Vanessa is getting nervous about her award at the school when she finds out that another woman’s husband who owns a landscaping company has donated new sod to upgrade the baseball field. She is just sure she is in jeopardy now that politics has come into play. Mike comes up with the idea of helping out the school as he donates an impressive new scoreboard from the Outdoor Man that the whole community is talking about. Now Vanessa is afraid that everybody will think she is trying to buy her way into winning the award.

The mother of 14 says she has attended a debt counseling class as a requirement for filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  She claims to have taken it on the internet although it is unclear how she paid for the internet since she is now on welfare, claiming a single mom with 14 kids who has no steady job can’t pay the bills.
