A psychologist will be at the school when it reopens Tuesday, Dowling said. Why??? Do the kids need post traumatic stench counseling?

I hope none of those kids watched the Simpsons season finale on Sunday as several characters not seen in a while where shown dead in the air ducts. Including Lisa’s teacher and that German kid who I thought was eaten during one of the Halloween specials.

You know, if these room-temp IQ burglars just read the paper, they would understand that this is not a good idea. That's giving them more credit than they deserve. Room temp is too high. Ice cube would about do it.
