We live in an age where you can’t take things like that to school. – Commissar Larry Boyd
Thanks to Savannah Sly’s offering to fill in for me tonight at the hospital, I could relax a little, finish up this column and get to sleep. Since nobody shared any videos I found especially interesting this week, I dug up this old Dr. Demento Show tune I thought y’all might enjoy. The links above it are from Radley Balko (“serve” and “libertarianism”), Franklin Harris (“state”), Laura Lee (“headline”), Cassandra Fairbanks (“suspicious”), and Popehat (“jaywalking”).
