I wan to laugh, but I come from a rural (read: one that’s very pro-hunting) area, and I could totally see some kids mistakenly bringing ammo to school with them (I could also see some kids intentionally doing it, but that’s another post). I don’t think a child should be automatically expelled for that, nor do I think…

And how common is packing ammo in your kid’s lunchbox? I think social services may need to make a trip to the Palin house to check the lunch boxes...

What the FUCKING FUCK. He said multiple times IT’S A CLOCK. That fucking Breibart article is BULLSHIT: “Officers said Ahmed was being “passive aggressive” in his answers to their questions, and didn’t have a “reasonable answer” as to what he was doing with the case.

In a fucking pencil case they sell at fucking Target that is, what, 8 inches wide??? With a fucking PLUG. Because so many bombs plug in.

Pfffttt, tea right out my nose. :)
Your comment reminded me SO MUCH of the Christmas letters my mom used to write to her Aunty-on-the-farm. Mom would talk about how her kids were out getting educated, working, etc, typical Christmas letter crap with an update on everyone’s lives. Crazy old farm aunty would respond with…

Don’t forget that one got arrested for breaking into someone else’s house to party when they weren’t around and one went into the military after slashing school bus tires.

“That’s a clock, and I’m the Queen of England.”

wanting so badly to attach himself to the issue-of-the-day, got old years ago.
