I feel so safe flying knowing that our government is watching out for us. I guess frisking down old ladies in wheel chairs is too much of a distraction for them to bother watching anything else.

Like no one would question a kid all by himself; with no escort?

My High School freshman journalism teacher would have ate this guy for lunch! What a crappy story. No by line either.

Wanna bet Semaj's mamma's baby daddy is named James?

Dang, girl! You got it before I did!

Glad the kid's dad wasn't named "Dan."

God bless this little guy! He's just trying to get to Texas! Smart kid!

We can look past the illegalities, I think, and give him "creativity" points instead!

I'm with ya. God bless him.

Semaj was "incredibly motivated to get to Texas," Guttu said. "He doesn't want to live in Washington state."

Booker said her son dislikes the neighborhood where the family lives and is afraid of a sex offender who lives nearby.

"He does not like it here at all," she said.

Police pursued Semaj at speeds up to 90 mph until he took an exit and the engine blew, after which the car went over a curb and coasted into a tree.

The only reason the cops caught him is because his engine blew.

Put him in NASCAR.

You wouldn't believe how many times I checked my post back to you for spelling and grammar errors.

Now there's a young'n that needs a whoopin.

I wouldn't want to send him after a hickory, though.

Are you sure? Your high school seems to have been a bit weak on grammar.

The parents might have gotten the idea from seeing Nomar Garciaparra on TV (Nomar = Ramon backwards), but Nomar's major league debut was in the summer of 1996, so possibly after Semaj was named.

Or any of the idiots running around named Nevaeh.

I am aware that "Senga" enjoyed a brief vogue across the pond.

Thank God for brevity, says I.

I'd hire this kid in a minute. Born entrepreneur. Most likely the story about the Missouri kids was too muchy for him given the pedophile on his block.
