I haven't been watching my news. Heck I didn't even know about the Democratic thing and I am in VA!
I did read about Clay Aiken though. That was too funny! Like we all didn't know.

I knew about Clay being gay when I first saw him on AI and I didn't know about VA!
In my news are stories like....
The missing Florida girl Caylee Anthony
And a girl getting sent to the principals office because there was too many buttons on her shirt

yeah, what is that all about, unless they are profanity or bad buttons...what does it matter...
that is like a couple weeks ago, there was a boy that was being suspended from school (kindergartner 5 yrs old) because his hair was too long, they didnt give very much info and I was curious....the boy has indian heiratage and that was the families right to let his hair grow long and it was braided....but they said if they let him go, they would have to for all the kids...catch 22 I guess.

That is true. Didn't think about bad words and stuff.
OH my gosh. They suspend you for everything nowadays! They suspended my friends stepson when he was in Kindergarden for throwing a marker.

I know! It is crazy. OH and he also found one of those little green army men on the playground. Well the school say he brought it and since the little tiny man had a little tiny plastic green gun attached to him he got suspended for that!

yeah it was so stupid. Just like Z getting suspended for saying that something could be a weapon. Not using it as one or threatening anyone just saying it.

Ok what happened was they have a dress code they're supposed to wear polo shirts. So this mom baught her daught what she thought was a polo shirt...made sure it didn't shower any skin and wasn't too short. She gets called in from work about her daughter only to get there and find that her daughter is being sent home and in trouble because the shirt had 13 buttons

Yep because polo shirts have 3 buttons I think and this one had 13 or something like that. It was stupid.
