At Least He Didn’t Paddle Them??
In Mount Vernon a public school teacher stands accused of burning crosses into students’ skin with a “science teaching tool.” Before I go any further can I please just thank Channel 3 for their in depth and detailed reporting. a “science teaching tool” could be anything. A television, a pen, a book, a poster, they could all be used to teach science, people, I think we need something called “details,” try looking that up in the “journalism teaching tool” you keep around the station. Ahem, now that you are done saying, “Bitter much?” to your computer screen, I will continue. The teacher is no stranger to controversy - he keeps a bible on his desk at a public school and was required to remove his copy of the ten commandments from the classroom - but a spokesman claims that the cross burning incidents are bullshit cooked up by haters of the man’s religious zeal. Of course that’s the full story, no quotes from students, parents, the teacher in question, police looking into the matter, or doctors that have examined the burns. That would have required a phone call or two, and well, Channel 3 ain’t got the time. I want some answers damn it!
Nothing Goes Together Like Cops and Stun Guns
A 24-year-old man was recently shocked by a stun gun outside a bar near Miami University in Oxford. The incident was caught on tape showing the guy rolling around and screaming. Cops claim he was interfering during an arrest and had to be taken to a hospital when he had trouble breathing. Apparently officers continued to use their stun guns on the man because he never declared, “Don’t tase me bro,” the universal submission phrase for those under attack by stun gun. Channel 5 is quick to point out that the man shocked, Kevin Piskura, was the son of cop who graduated from Benedictine, cause we all know those are two traits synonymous with innocence. An investigation is underway to see if the officers acted properly and if my earlier joke was inappropriate. I think we all know the answer though.
John McCain Compares Himself to Youngstown, Popularity Rating Drops Severely
John McCain recently told a crowd at Youngstown State University that towns like Youngstown remind him of himself. You know, old, worn out, and boring. Okay, okay, what he really said was that his last campaign left him with no money or support and he came back to be the GOP candidate for president. Somehow he turned this slop into the idea that Youngstown and other hard-hit steel towns can also come back. Of course no specifics were offered because those are banned during presidential campaigns. Let me just be the first to thank Fox for using a picture of McCain speaking in Alabama to accompany this article. Genius, pure genius!
