Apparently this morning in Massatwochits, Dem Ed "Eeyore" Markey got the nod to run for John 'Effin' Kerry's Senate Seat. On the Republican side, Gabriel "DemDonation" Gomez, who has not only donated to the Dems and to Obama, but sent an email to Gov Cadilllac Deval Patrick asking for the appointment so he can help support Obama's agendas.

Mass is doomed, either way.

hauteur

Gasper the ghost is a hauteur as in hauteur houses. ‘course it could mean arrogance since he does have an up-turned nose at everything. Could mean the folks from Terre Haute (Terry Hauteurs?) too but they all seemed pretty much just folks to me.

wow, that is scary. $.50 per student is a LOT and i’m sure they will figure it better to be OVERinclusive, so your run of the mill ADD kids may end up on a violent student watch list!
