Today its the Mary Blair Elementary School in Colorado. Stupid school administrators. Its almost epidemic. They deal only in absolutes and have no other mantra than “cover your arse” … I really enjoy these stories of schools embarrassing themselves, but may not cover every incidence since it seems there are at least 2 or 3 a day now. Dumb administrators trying to teach bright children. There is the problem with American education, we let well educated idiots make the decisions. Common sense will prevail, someday.
7-year-old playing an imaginary game at school gets suspended for real
The boy didn’t throw anything real or make any threats against anyone. He explains he was pretending to be the hero. “So nothing can get out and destroy the world.”… School administrators have gone mad!
Ban hide and seek, can’t be too cautious nowadays!

People are scared of everything and wondering why kids are growing up neurotic… Click here for the story.
Alexandria police arrest 10-year-old for bringing TOY(!!!!) gun to school

Moonrise.
Something to celebrate this Wednesday! You’re RICH! (Comparatively)
No matter what kind of day you’re having, you can rest easy knowing you probably have more money in your bank account than the entire Nation of Zimbabwae. They have, as of today’s accounting, $217 dollars in their national bank account. At least you got that going for you.
The Rise of the Permanent Temp Economy. Or, as it can be called, the fall of an economy by the hands of corporate greed.
A quarter of jobs in America pay below the federal poverty line for a family of four ($23,050). Not only are many jobs low-wage, they are also temporary and insecure. . Low-wage, temporary jobs have become so widespread that they threaten to become the norm. But for some reason this isn’t causing a scandal.

baby bottles shut down NJ airport. This is why we can’t have nice things.
I think the only thing to do is ban these assault bottle with extended nips. A couple and their toddler had already gone through the checkpoint when security officials determined that equipment that screens liquids had malfunctioned and the baby bottles hadn’t been properly screened. Modern day keystone cops.
Its official: This is the worst recovery ever!
