All The News That's Unfit
The news just keeps getting weirder and weirder. We've come a long way since the administration decided it could grab anyone they wanted to, call them a terrorist, and hold them indefinitely in a remote corner of Cuba, of all places, without due process. Now the president and vice president are both stridently criticizing Speaker of the House Pelosi for her trip to Syria, ignoring the fact that Republican congressmen had made the same trip a week earlier. But we've become so inured to the shenanigans in the Washington Super Circus that this stuff gets pushed in the background while the media reports on Keith Richards' claim in an interview that when his father died five years ago he mixed his ashes with coke and snorted him. Never mind that he backtracked a day later, saying he was joking. It takes a twisted mind to even joke about that, but what's really sick is that it made headlines. And now we have the story about a bunch of 11-year olds who had sex in class while the teacher was out of the room for fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes? Talk about Speedy Gonzales. That didn't even give them time for some juvenile fumbling. Face it, folks, these kids knew what they were doing. That's damn scary!

As an article in this week’s New Yorker demonstrates many people in the psychiatric community are now disputing the high incidence of very young children with mood swings being diagnosed as having bi-polar disease.
Is there a chance then that the APA soon will label fifteen minute sex in the classroom as a form of adhd (Attention Deficiency Syndrome)?
On the other hand, perhaps they'll recognize it as an antidote.
There is something terribly sad about these children. Such a loss of childhood. I have said all along that ADS is one way that parents excuse their lack of attention to their children.
Terrific cartoon, fell off chair laughing. Great commentary as usual.
