- From the “Gotta Keep ‘Em Separated” Department – A high school in Florida had to hire additional security to make sure that students attending their prom didn’t cross the convention center and also attend the pornography convention that was also going on. My guess is that a few of the young men and women did some planning that would have made “Mission Impossible” look plausible to get around the line of adults keeping them getting into the head-exploding expo of smut. One question: Was it a one way barrier, or did administrators also make sure none of the porn queens came over to shake their groove things with their teenage customers?
- From the “Pig in a Poke” Department – Police in Italy recently had to remove two wild
boardsboars from the city of Florence. Apparently the feral porkers were looking for food and wandered into a neighborhood. The police report that they were able to herd the swine back into the wilderness, but I have it on good authority that the local butchers had a sale later that day on pork sausage and spare ribs. Coincidence? I think not! - From the “Biting the Hand That Bribes You” Department – The mayor of Newark, New Jersey, a vocal Obama supporter, is under fire from his own side after he expressed personal distaste at the Obama campaign demonizing venture capitalists and the finance industry. Recent advertisements have attacked Obama opponent Mitt Romney for his connection to a venture capital company. It is ironic that Mr. Obama is attacking the industry that fed him millions of dollars in 2008 and that he is courting for support now. It’s always a pain when your rhetoric starts to conflict with your pocketbook, isn’t it?
- From the “Not Getting It” Department – A teacher in North Carolina displayed her ignorance for all to see recently when she asserted that a person can be arrested for criticizing the sitting president, that this happened under the George W. Bush administration, and that President Obama is not “just a man”. Good gravy, I hope she’s not a social studies teacher. Reports are that the teacher is still employed and has not been suspended, which shows just how incompetent you can be when you have a union to protect you. I’m surprised she hasn’t been promoted.
- From the “No Justice” Department – The man who was convicted for his part in the Lockerbie Bombing has died in Libya. While 270 people died unexpectedly and in terror when his plot hatched in 1988, I’m sure he was given good drugs to keep him as comfortable as possible, and had the support of family, friends, and clergy. If there was justice in this world, he would have been drug through the streets of Lockerbie by his heals until parts started abrading off after he was convicted. Instead, he sat in a nice comfortable jail cell for a few years, was released to return to Libya and a heroes welcome, and died quietly in a bed. Remind me again why we are so forgiving and slow to turn cities into rubble when our innocents are attacked?

That North Kackalacky “educator” is now reported to have been suspended. Not sure whether that’s with or without pay, but I know which way I’d bet.
Mind you, SCOAMF did sign the new sedition act back in march…
