Thanks for the ping Misty. Doesn't surprise me. Boulder = pretty city filled with the dregs of American society...like the "blue" states. Mine especially. :^)

Listening to Lewis & Floorwax (radio personalities out of Denver, CO on 103.5). Boulder High School is having a talent show Friday night. One of the acts is a band that includes 2 teachers, the band name is "The Taliband". They will be performing a song they worte titled "I Wish George Bush was Dead". This was reported by a parent. The band had to audition in front of a group including two other teachers and were selected to perform Friday night.
We have to gain control of the schools....one at a time. The kids have to be saved from this sort of corruption. It makes me sick.
Apparently. Pretty damned pathetic, isn't it?
LOLOL!
It would be a good start to dump the NEA.
i agree.
I'm going to send them my ideas for some brief and topical dramatic skits, possibly to showcase some special effects, make-up and other technical skills:
"Zarqawi Beheads Michael Moore with an Industrial Chainsaw"
"Outraged Store-owners Gun Down Lefty Blackshirts"
"Home-made Cruise Missile Interrupts 'The Prairie Home Companion'"
"PETA Activists Devoured by Protected Bears"
and an X-rated vignette (ok in Boulder, right?), "Molly (Ivins) Does Guantanamo"
Yes, and stop increasing funding of education until they start using the money for the students instead of the ditsy administration!!!
Democrats were neurotic before the election. The defeat has made them completely psychotic. I fear that they will become violent. The paranoia is acute. The separation from reality is deep. The inability to discern right from wrong is certainly sociopathic. Even former President Clinton is telling them to "get a grip".
THE TALIBAND
Is this funny?
NO. It's not.

You sure did post this correctly - this is a outrage - even worse than 'cop killer' rap rant of a few years ago
since you got me going...let's junk the entire funding system and go with vouchers. give money to parents and let them pick which schools to send their kids to. this will force parental involvement, but more importantly, will bring about a private school system that can actually not take disruptive students. but don't worry, the market will be there for disruptive and drug using students, so schools will sprout up that will "educate" these kids, albeit with a dose of discipline. and everyone will in the neighborhood will know that school X is a school for troublemakers. many parents will be embarrassed to say their kid is in school X and they might even take some proactive steps to help their child.
Of course. We'd have to build the large wooden rabbit....
The moral depravity of the Left... And they think the American people are a bunch of fanatical puritans whose moral outrage is offended sexual prudery.
This was in what had been explained to me before we ventured forth for the evening as a great bar for picking up girls.
T'was then I vowed not to take home ANYTHING with me, no matter how drunk I got.
"Why - are we going to be using the trees for ammo "
someone should tell these ill-educated fools that it is possible to plant trees, and then the trees will grow . . . in fact, a person would be better off planting trees or doing something else useful than protesting . . .
These kids are learning: the way to get something done is to protest.
I was taught: the way to get something done is to DO IT!
OMG...is this true...?....~~~~PING~~~~
It's not only true, but one of the teachers in the band, Jim Vacca, was the instigator of this "protest" last week:
Sleepover protests Bush's policies; Boulder High School students seeking to make voices heard
BOULDER - Students were preparing to spend the night at Boulder High School Thursday to protest policies of the Bush administration.
About 50 students carrying guitars and boxes of crackers and Froot Loops took over part of the library at the end of the school day. They vowed not to leave until they had a chance to meet with elected officials.
Under an agreement with Principal Ron Cabrera, they were allowed to stay the night, but must clean up and be gone by 7 a.m., when the library opens.
A teacher and several parents agreed to be chaperons, Cabrera said.
It was not clear if they would meet with elected officials. A spokesman for U.S. Rep. Mark Udall, whose district includes Boulder, said no one from the congressman's office was scheduled to attend.
Stephen Lobanov Rostovsky, 17, a senior, said the protest is meant to get adults to hear their opinions.
Rostovsky said he talks to elected leaders, "but there's no assurance for me that someone will actually take me seriously."
"This is going to hopefully change that by letting people know that adolescents are there and by saying, 'We're not going to take this. We want a voice, too. We want a place in this democracy. . . . We should have a say.' "
The students' list of grievances cites the war in Iraq, which they called "unjust and misguided."
The students also oppose federal regulations requiring schools to admit military recruiters or lose funding.
The protesters are members of a group called Student Worker that periodically stages protests. In the past, it has opposed statewide student testing.
Thursday's protest was planned even before it was known who would win Tuesday's election, Rostovsky said.
English teacher Jim Vacca, the faculty adviser for Student Worker, said, "I think they seriously want to engage adults in talk about some of the issues that will affect them."
.
Jim Vacca is in the "Taliband". He should be fired. But given this is the People's Republic of Boulder, he'll probably be given the Che Guevara Medal Of Revolutionary Merit.
MAKE SURE YOU GO WITH A TAPE RECORDER!!!! NOT IN OPEN VIEW, BE CAREFUL AND A VIDEO CAMERA WOULD HELP TOO.... Are you sure this isn't a joke for some publicity?
"What's wrong with these people?"
they are smug know-it-all jerks and can't stand the fact that other people are actually doing something -- honorably serving our country in Iraq -- that they themselves would REFUSE to do; and the way they get their point across is by using an obsene gesture . . .
That is why the prison photos will get more of their attention than anything else in the whole war: to try to smear the entire Armed Forces and our entire effort, rather than seeing it as an isolated incident that BTW is being punished by the proper authorities . . .
