Good one Chode! Thanks for the laugh!

I did not see how many shots were fired but;
Three shooters, seven wounded, zero fatalities.
Damn those ‘rap fans’ need a little more range time.

My goodness! He's just a child! What sort of upbringing has this child had to already be writing songs about such horrible things? The answer to the former would explain this, the latter, how could his mother let him write such lyrics? Beyond sad.
Ugh... I know I already posted, but again, he's a child! What is wrong with his mother?
bad poetry in a monotone....I’d have flunked grade school poetry if I’d have delivered it without emphasis.
did a basketball game break out???? Was Bobby Knight there....WOW, what a party!!
How much longer will you continue to pay (probably 100%) for these feral thugs to hate you?
Did I understand Rush this week to say that 80% of the graduating high school seniors in New York (I don't know if he said city/state) cannot read or write?
How can a person even hold a job today without being able to read or write?
Shortly, we'll see statistics about how the poor downtrodden have such crappy jobs and income and how can we allow people in this country to suffer and what are YOU doing about it?
I am armed 100% of the time these days.
Range time won’t help as long as they keep using that sideways gangsta grip.
Music for and from SHTF Zombies.
I have always wondered why they use that sideways gangsta grip. Any ideas?
I have a little money saved up, I’d like to gift this bunch with a oneway ticket for the trip of a lifetime. Guess where I would send them!
Whats a 13 year old kid doin in a Nightclub anyway!
Looks like he got em all stirred up and split the scene!

Justice for da T and death fo the Z!
Makea lifea betta fo yo an me!
This is a fascinating example of how a statistic takes on a life of its own once it hits the news.
The original report was the 80% of students entering the New York City community college system required remedial reading/math classes. From there it grew (via "Sultan Knish," who is usually sharper, among others) to "80% of NYC high school graduates." Now we're getting "80% of graduates in New York State can't read or write."
Just because I'm a bore, I will elaborate. The original "80% of new students at City College of New York facilities" who need remedial courses does not include NYC students who go to other colleges/universities after graduation. It does not include those who go to no college. It does include some students from other school systems, even out of state. It doesn't include most of the very significant number of NYC students who don't graduate, but it does include some students who never graduated from high school: those with GEDs or education from other countries.
Additionally, needing remedial courses does not equate to illiteracy or innumeracy. My own daughter, the outrageously excellent Gunner Anoreth, had to take remedial algebra in community college, because in spite of several computer languages, a comprehensive knowledge of history, political science, and classical literature, and great hand-eye coordination, she just had a b8tch of a time getting a handle on algebra.
In other words, it's an interesting statistic, but far from the totem it has become in only a few days.
It becomes easier to believe when I read that 40+% of ALL the residents of Detroit and New Orleans cannot read or write.
Christian friends of mine that went to NO to help out with Katrina recovery say that much of their time was spent filling out simple forms for residents to get FEMA supplies/help/support.
That's a little more believable, but it still raises the question of how they got that number. As a stats-nerd, I'd want to see the studies!
LOL!
Ummmmm...ummmmm...Detroit?
