is it usual for posts to take 2 hours to show up after you submit?

You're on double secret probation, newbie. And because you didn't capitalize the first letter in your demonstrative sentence, you're bound to be on it for awhile.

To get off it sooner, you need the Probation Free FR kit. Send me $39.95 and I'll include at no extra charge, the Commander Cody/FR decoder ring and instructions for our secret Handshake. Act now! Free Shipping!

You can’t help stupid, but those witnessing kids realize how being stupid isn’t cool. Life ain’t fair, but this life lesson will probably help some of those kids choose the good life.

If stupid was always fatal, we’d all be dead.

And that’s a fact.

Condolences to the family.

“If you were to add in all the dumb things you did while driving that nevertheless did not cause an accident, you would probably be up in the many thousands. (I know I would be.)”

I’m sure that I can match you, and then some. LOL.

I’m wondering if there weren’t any chaperones on the upper deck of the bus. >>

The bus company was supposed to have 2, one on the upper level and one on the lower, but on that trip, they only had one and when he went down to the lower level the boy stuck his head out of the hatch and was killed. It also turns out that the bus was illegal to operate in NJ where the accident happened, it needed a special permit because the size of the bus exceeded state standards, it was too high.

Are you now a DemforRomney?

How does a group on a bus go from Fort Lee NJ, to party in Garfield NJ (west of Fort Lee), by way of GWBridge which heads east into NY? am I reading info wrong? Or were parents misinformed about where party was? >>>

The group went to a Catholic High School in Queens, NY, so I guess the rented a bus from that area, BTW the bus was illegal to operate in NJ because of its large size. If they were going to Garfield, I wonder if they went to The Venetian, it’s a catering hall for the well-to-do.

He, very much an EX-dem, thank you very much. (Yeah, I wish I had thought about my handle a bit more, in retrospect). I will be voting against Obama and for Ryan in November. As for Romney, I’m giving him a chance, but it’s more about getting Obama out than him in at this point.
