Prayer in school??? Who cares about the gunmen! Let him go and arrest the principal for praying in school! How dare he!

From comments about Huffman High at GreatSchools.net:

(August 2003)
"I am very please about the dual enrollment program that is now offered at Huffman High School. I think our school is making positive strides to provide our children with a better education. Lisa Bimbo "

You can't make this stuff up.

I hope the kid comes through OK, and I'm glad they caught the perp.

I can't help imagining the smile on Feinstein's face upon reading this news.

In our small rural town, everyone is needed. One of out top atheletes is an all regional trombone player. When he comes off the field for half-time, a couple of us band moms peel him out of his jersey and pads. He picks up his horn and takes the field.

We ARE fly-over country!

You evidently were never able to muster the talent to play an instrument.
Thats OK though...there's always a need for laborers.

Band nerds don't exist. Now it's young hoods who want to be the next P Diddy.
