It’s been quite the news week (and not in the gossipy, Star Jones, Anna Nicole kind of way). First: What the hell is going on in our schools? It seems like there is a new act of violence every day, and it’s aimed at kids. CNN’s poll today was “Do you think your child’s school is safe?”. That shouldn’t even be entering our consciousness, but there it is. Three in a week. Damn.
Second: Mark Foley. Sick bastard. It seems like he thinks that if he checks himself into rehab, then maybe the shitstorm will just blow over….like it does for people like Mel Gibson. Not so fast, buddy. You need to be in prison. Here’s a friendly tip, though: You might want to request to be separated from the general population. They don’t like child predators so much in the big house. On second thought, maybe they deserve their chance at you. How is it that ABC News can uncover all kinds of information, but Hastert and the GOP leadership neglected to fully investigate?
And no, Kevin, I’m not blaming the GOP, and yes, I think Nancy Pelosi needs to keep her trap shut. I’m simply posing the question that seems to be on everybody’s minds, regardless of political affiliation.
To sum up: To all the crazies out there, stop taking our schools hostage. It’s really pissing me off. To Mark Foley: You are a sick bastard. You need to go to prison for a veerrryy long time. To ABC News: Thanks. Good job.
