Fourth grader suspended for using broken pencil sharpener
From the "Get Real" department:
Today, September 12th 2008 will be remembered as the day we finally caught one of the bad guys ...
A 4th grader with a broken pencil sharpener.
A 10-year-old Hilton Head Island boy has been suspended from school for having something most students carry in their supply boxes: a pencil sharpener.The problem was his sharpener had broken, but he decided to use it anyway.
The boy -- a fourth-grader described as a well-behaved and good student -- cried during the meeting with his mom, the deputy and the school's assistant principal.
He had no criminal intent in having the blade at school, the sheriff's report stated, but was suspended for at least two days and could face further disciplinary action.

The deputy and assistant principal should be on a two-day suspension and be facing further disciplinary action for even batting an eye over this.
Come on people Get Real here!

Terror cops hunt down ornamental Castor bean plant
Another story in the continuing saga of our homeland insecurity ...
A man in Orem, Utah had the Homeland Security flying squad at his house because he'd planted a Castor bean plant on his front lawn, prompting a neighbor or passing snitch to decide he was making Ricin:
A man in Orem, Utah had the Homeland Security flying squad at his house because he'd planted a Castor bean plant on his front lawn, prompting a neighbor or passing snitch to decide he was making Ricin:
A startled homeowner got a visit from Orem Police Tuesday afternoon. They were interested in a plant that he was growing by his mailbox in the front yard. They were so interested that they put a call into Homeland Security. No, it wasn’t marijuana. It was a Castor bean plant...He says with a laugh, “I’m not a terrorist, but I was terribly frightened when the call came in. I was terrorized (for) my humble little plant that’s over there in the corner.”
North Texas house burns because local authorities switched off hydrants "to fight terrorism"
A house in North Texas burned down because the local authorities had switched off the fire-hydrants to stop terrorists from poisoning the water supply through them?! Huh!?
So, who is the Tool that thought this up? On the stupid-meter, this is a 12 and the meter only goes from 1 to 10!
All the district's hydrants, including those in Alexander Ranch, have had their water turned off since just after 9/11 - something a trade association spokesman tells us is common practice for rural systems.Turned back on with a tool? So these fire-hydrants will prevent terrorists who could poison the water supply through them, but only if they cannot of get a tool?!"These hydrants need to be cut off in a way to prevent vandalism or any kind of terrorist activity, including something in the water lines," Hodges said.
But Hodges says fire departments know, or should have known, the water valves can be turned back on with a tool.
So, who is the Tool that thought this up? On the stupid-meter, this is a 12 and the meter only goes from 1 to 10!
Germ-free baby under glass: scientific parenting of 1947
The lost art of parenting, 1947-style:
Little John Gray Jr., three months old when these pictures were taken, has seldom been outside of this glass house in which he lives.
His showcase home is temperature and humidity controlled, dirt-free and has a built-in air filter.
It is partially sound-proof-he can bellow without straining the family nerves.
He doesn’t catch cold; visitors can’t pass their germs through the glass and the house’s temperature never varies from 84 degrees.
At the slightest deviation, a bell rings.
There are no drafts and neither is there the fear of smothering; there are no bed covers.
Papa John Gray Sr. built the ingenious baby house in the workshop of his home in Sea Cliff, Long Island, New York.
Only time will tell whether the child will escape the usual ills.
'Take a Child Outside' week gains ground
A large group of well-meaning officials from several states have a message for you and your family: Go take a hike.
They're urging moms and dads to take their kids away from the television and go outside for some fresh air as part of "Take a Child Outside" week from Sept. 24-30.
The special week began last year in North Carolina, and has now spread throughout much of the U.S.
About 250 organizations in the U.S. and Canada are taking part this year.
The only question is: Do children really need a themed week to encourage them to play outside?
If so, then you know we are in a pathetic shape as a nation - and the way it looks ... we are in a pathetic shape as a nation.
And no, I do not mean just physically, I mean the over all well-being and the actual need to get the kids out of the house to play and just be a kid.
Back in the day it was the opposite problem - getting us to come into the house was a monumental task.
Times have sure changed.

Navajos seeks full control of national monument
The Navajo Nation is seeking full control of one of the only national monuments entirely on reservation land, the majestic Canyon de Chelly and its hundreds of ancient rock carvings and paintings.
Since 1931, the National Park Service has been charged with preserving thousands of artifacts and ruins within the monument's towering red sandstone walls, while the land revered by the Navajos as sacred remained tribally owned.
Now the Tribal Council wants full control of the 131-square-mile monument in northeastern Arizona and the more than $1.8 million in federal funding that goes with it.
Doing so would strengthen the tribe's sovereignty and demonstrate its expertise and competence in administering tribal land and resources to benefit Navajo people, supporters say.
Canyon de Chelly, near Chinle, in the heart of the Navajo Nation, has been inhabited for some 2,000 years.
Artifacts and cliff dwellings lining the canyon walls date from the 4th to 14th centuries.
The Navajo call the canyon "tsegi," which means "within the rock."

Charged for their Rape Kit?!
Charging a rape victim for the cost of the medical exam commonly known (thanks to Law&OrderSVU) as a "rape kit" is beneath all contempt, yet that is exactly what that shill shrew did in Wasilla and wants to do in the entire nation.
Not only do you have to keep a fetus conceived during your raping but you have to pay for the exam afterward!!!?
This election is over.
No one with any sense of decency or moral fiber will vote for that hag now.
Americans may stupid but NOT that stupid!
