> “Didnt you know that according to the MSM all students in inner city schools are Honor Students.”
In 1987 Thomas Wolfe wrote a good novel about the way the killing of another “honor student” was exploited (The Bonfire of the Vanities).
Why do you call him Cpt Zimmerman?
This was from an article about it:
George Bush had his three-fingered W salute that supporters flashed when greeting him at presidential campaign events in 2000. And now, if a Los Angeles creative agency gets its way, Sen. Barack Obama will see fans meet him with his own salute like the one above. "Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama's nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future," says Rick Husong, owner of The Loyalty Inc. Husong tells me that he got the idea after seeing the famous Obama-Progress poster by artist Shepherd Fairey. "We wanted to get involved some way," he says. So, the agency came up with their own a symbol of hope and progress that also plays off Obama's name. "We thought, 'Let's try and start a movement where even while walking down the street, people would hold up the O and you would know that they were for Obama,' " says Husong. Much thought went into the relatively simple idea. "You interlace your hands in a circle, the interlacing being a symbol of different types of people coming together and the circle a symbol of unity," he says. Their design, unlike Fairey's, is free, and Husong is urging people to download it and print it on posters and T-shirts. "We want to see it everywhere, but more importantly we want this sign to take the world by storm."
HAHAHA! I GUESS EVEN MOONBATS HAVE THEIR LIMITS!
Don’t bother asking. Read the last few pages of his posts, you will see what I mean.
LOL!!
AND MORE...
Instead the officer reported he found womens jewelry and a screwdriver that he described as a burglary tool, according to a Miami-Dade Schools Police report obtained by The Miami Herald. Word of the incident came as the familys lawyer acknowledged that the boy was suspended in February for getting caught with an empty bag with traces of marijuana, which he called irrelevant and an attempt to demonize a victim.
Trayvons backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described silver wedding bands and earrings with diamonds.
Trayvon was asked if the jewelry belonged to his family or a girlfriend.
Martin replied its not mine. A friend gave it to me, he responded, according to the report. Trayvon declined to name the friend.
Trayvon was not disciplined because of the discovery, but was instead suspended for graffiti, according to the report. School police impounded the jewelry and sent photos of the items to detectives at Miami-Dade police for further investigation.

Thanks for your positive note. I am hung up on what exactly caused these failures, blind spot or not, and I don’t have much time or rather opportunities left to try again.
Thinking about it and taking photos, as I do every day, I remembered the phrase “ships that don’t come in”, and had to find its source, which of course was a country song so titled by Joe Diffie. It’s on YouTube, check it out. Lyrics on cowboylyrics.com A lot of folk wisdom in it.

Heh, THAT'S when you you know you've jumped the shark!
It’s the crisis that is not to be wasted.
Expect London style race riots.
I went to get my hair cut today. They had on local radio.
They had adds on organizing the “Justice for Travon” rallies to be held here.
They will gather the crowds and whip them into a frenzy.
The facts of the case won’t matter one whit.
That is exactly where I determined that Bob Lonsberry is an idiot and stopped reading.
” You KNOW you are overboard creepy when you propose something to cult-of-personality worshipers like Obama’s followers, and even THEY think it is too weird to touch! “
Yeah....that is a “get a clue!” moment : )
Indeed.
If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.
Or you can get raw with these strings.
How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).
And finally, this, dedicated to the one and only rdb2, whose eyes are growing dim.
Either way, the violin is sweet yet LETHAL.
Do it!
Is the Right doing it? I haven't noticed much. In fact, the Right right here, at first, when all the details were not known as they are today, was pretty divided between Zimmerman and Martin support. If the case which is several weeks old as of now was properly reported from the start, it wouldn't become such a cause celebre for the left. Imagine a headline as it should have been:
The bag had marijuana residue. He’s a dealer. His customers are on twitter. He had also been caught with women’s jewelry and a screwdriver. That smacks of burglary...the very thing Zimmerman was on patrol to prevent.
His father said that he “committed a crime” on school property, and the report I read said they found marijuana residue.
Also, the kid tweeted about beating up the bus driver.
Maybe he wasn’t public enemy number one, but it appears he was in fact a kid who would easily resort to violence and who used drugs. Bad combination.
We don’t know that he’s the Trayvon who tweeted.
These are the same sort of school officials who imagine school teachers are too stupid to tell the difference between Bayer Aspirin and hard narcotics.
Regarding "EMPTY BAGS', they are empty or they are not. It was described as "empty'. This was supposedly in his book bag.
That story would have been out there far sooner ~ in fact, at the same time as Zimmerman's father said he, George, never got out of his SUV to follow Trayvon.
NAW!
Same problem ~ different dad.
