School officials and SWAT team rescue school from…burrito?

I may have officially just seen it all. From MSNBC:

A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school. All over a giant burrito.

Someone called authorities Thursday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped into Marshall Junior High. (Don’t even go there, you pervs! – Ed.)

The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapeños and wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.

Hilarity ensues.

In the meantime, more than 30 parents, alerted by a radio report, descended on the school. Visibly shaken, they gathered around in a semicircle, straining their necks, awaiting news.

“There needs to be security before the kids walk through the door,” said Heather Black, whose son attends the school.

What, a “burrito bomb squad”? Don’t these people know that a burrito is a weapon only after it has been eaten?

For the love of God, this woman must lose!

Today’s “this woman must lose” post isn’t about Shrillary or Pe-loser, but about a Republican. Specifically, about Katherine Harris. From Newsmax:

U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris told a religious journal that separation of church and state is “a lie” and God and the nation’s founding fathers did not intend the country be “a nation of secular laws.”

The Florida Republican candidate for U.S. Senate also said that if Christians are not elected, politicians will “legislate sin,” including abortion and gay marriage.

News flash, Rep. Hairbrained: abortion is already legal. Gay marriage has been written into several states’ constitutions. Settle down with the melodrama, OK?

I agree with one thing: there is no “separation of church and state”, my friends. It’s not in the Constitution, nor is it in the Declaration of Independence. I’ve read the First Amendment a million times, and it’s not in there. I may be nitpicking here, but I cringe whenever I read “the constitution’s wall separating church and state”! There is no such thing.

Having said that, I think it’s safe to say that we are in a theocracy-free country where each of us are allowed to send our souls to Hell, if we see fit. “Sin” is already legal: we are free (i.e. legally allowed) to engage in fornication, adultery, swearing, cohabitating (i.e. shacking up), viewing of p0rn, drinking to excess, eating to excess, etc. Is Harris suggesting that each of those freedoms be legislatively revoked?

While we’re at it, I’d like to know if she thinks that Jewish legislators plan on writing “sin” into law, or if they are incapable of proper governance? I’m obviously not the only one who wonders that:

Her comments drew criticism, including some from fellow Republicans who called them offensive and not representative of the party.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., who is Jewish, told the Orlando Sentinel that she was “disgusted” by the comments.

While Congresswoman Schultz may or may not have been merely posturing politically, I must concur with her expressed sentiments.

Republicans have been avoiding Harris like Hillary avoids Arkansas. We Floridians have to pray that Harris is defeated in the primary, because she absolutely cannot beat Bill Nelson in the Senate race this November. The good news is that Harris has primary opponents. The bad news is that they are unknowns who may splinter the votes enough to hand Harris the party’s nomination. The somewhat unpopular and very vulnerable Nelson is thanking his lucky stars that Harris is in this race.

Why you shouldn’t vote for Dems, the GOP, or Libertarians

In case you can’t really think of a decent reason to vote for a candidate or his/her particular party, at least have some ammo on why you’d vote against a party, right? Well, that’s the sentiment from Neal Boortz:

Why you shouldn’t vote Republican

They have absolutely no fiscal discipline whatsoever. No congress has ever blown money on vote-buying programs quite like the current Republican congress has.

There are far too many Republicans who want to take their personal religious blueprints for behavior and make them law.

The seem unwilling to press the advantage when it is theirs to press.

They’re prudes.

Stem cell research.

Donald Wildmon

The McCain-Feingold Campaign Reform Act.

Democrats think that it’s odd that the jails are so full while our crime rate is going down.

The Medicare Prescription Drug benefit for the Gimme Generation.

If they had their way, Terri Schiavo’s soul would still not be at rest.

They pay more attention to K Street than they do to the American workers and businessmen carrying the load.

They can’t even protect America’s borders.

Do you want your kids to come home from a government school and tell you that the Earth is only 6000 years old?

Why you shouldn’t vote Democrat

They clearly will not defend America from Islamic Fascism … not now … not until the price of that defense is catastrophic.

They think terrorism is a law enforcement problem.

Their war against individualism.

They think America is great because of its government.

They seem to think that income is distributed, not earned.

They promote class warfare.

They have almost single-handedly destroyed black culture in America.

Hillary Clinton.

They’re joined at the hip with teacher’s unions.

Taxes can never be too high for Democrats.

They fully intend to destroy talk radio.

Their love of mob rule.

The fully intend to turn illegal aliens into Democrat voters.

Like the Republicans; they refuse to protect America’s borders

Why your shouldn’t vote Libertarian

With over 50% of the American people harboring strong libertarian feelings, they can’t manage to mount a viable third-party campaign. How would they manage to govern?

Not only will they not defend America’s borders, they don’t really think the borders need defending.

Though philosophically they’re right, they fail to see that their “legalize drugs” agenda isn’t exactly a winner with the American people.

They never jumped on eminent domain abuse as the party agenda. People will react when they think their property rights are being threatened …. and the Libertarians couldn’t take advantage of this.

Have you seen the way some of the people at their convention dress?

I don’t necessarily agree with 100% of these things, but overall, I concur. I actually prefer to vote for a candidate or a party rather than against them, but as I’ve noted before, it’s awfully tough to do that these days. If campaign slogans were required to adhere to “truth in advertising” laws, a reasonable slogan would be “Vote for us, because while we really do suck…we suck much less than they do!”
