Just peeking through Twitter to check out what people are saying and I came across a most incredible exchange: Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill aka @clairecmc : If we printed the health care bill in regular size font it would be same legnth (sic) as Sarah Palin’s book, but with more meat on the bone. [a pathetic attempt to [...] The following is from a friend of a friend who lives in Alaska giving his two cents on Sarah Palin. He is a High School principal just for context regarding his concerns on public education. Good evening, lots of friends and relatives have been asking me (as an Alaskan) what I think of Sarah Palin, our Governor, and new choice for McCain as a VP candidate. Here it goes: This pick floored me. Sarah Palin is a nice person. I’ve met her, I’ve even talked to her for a few minutes at a principal’s conference a couple of years ago. She has lots going for her superficially. She speaks from the heart, like a spitfire mother; she can even be sort of funny sometimes.

Well, the problem was, so did the administration of Conard High. Weeks from graduation, Acevedo was arrested at the high school following a senior prank where hundreds of crickets (pay no attention to the Courant and their claim of thousands) were released in front of the cafeteria at the school. As Francisco filmed a police officer escorting a student out, a Conard vice principal yelled at him to put away the phone. Apparently some animals are more equal than others at Conard High. |
