Bravo Lamplighter! I see it's not for nothing that "lamplighter" is your handle.
You bring light to the benighted and humor impaired.

I was merely thinking that a much simpler thing to do would be for the offended parents to remove their kid from school. There is a mix of homeschooling parent types we encounter: The fellow travelers and the insane religious or frightened of moral decay and those who are simply afraid of their anima and animus.

Let me get this straight. So the school is going to send home a list, and the parents get to choose?

That is crazy. I know people who would mark every single word on any list and others that would be much more selective.

Who is in charge the parents or the teachers?

House Democrats Keep Pelosi as Leader

House Democrats elected Nancy Pelosi to remain as their leader Wednesday despite massive party losses in this month's congressional elections that prompted some lawmakers to call for new leadership. Pelosi, the nation's first female House speaker, will become minority leader when Republicans assume the majority in the new Congress in January.

We shall see. Cat's always land on their feet, even fat ones. ( Fat Cats )

This is why I hold no high position. I would be feeling awful the American people voted me out, and decline?

Am I for real? I know I miss the big picture, but WOW.

Burger King's F#*# You Leads to Firings

Quote:

A profanity laced receipt leads to a firing at a NorCal Burger King.
This receipt should have said a simple "thank you." Burger King corporate stepped in and fired two of its employees after a drive through receipt with some choice words made it on national television.

Sacramento resident Francisco Perez told KCRA TV after ordering food at the Sacramento restaurant, he noticed his receipt read "f--- you" in the area that would normally say "thank you." The four-letter profanity was spelled out not once, but twice.

One day after that story aired, a Burger King manager and an employee have been let go according to a company statement released Wednesday.

"Burger King Corp. (BKC) and the franchisee that owns and operates this restaurant deeply regret that this incident occurred," Burger King's Denise T. Wilson wrote. "The franchisee has taken immediate corrective action and both the manager and employee are being terminated. The franchisee will be reaching out to the guest directly."

"Members of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Investigation Service Area have now met with the surviving sister, who has confirmed that they had planned to commit suicide together, and did in fact shoot themselves," the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office said Thursday afternoon...
