Now, I tried to look on the community to see if someone had posted this and I didn't see it, but I could have missed it. However, it must be noted because the media swiped it away already.


Yesterday morning in French class, my teacher wrote two words on the board, but didn't say anything about them at first. Then, in the middle of class, she said, "By the way, how do you pronounce this phrase?"


We all read it, and I pronounced it correctly.


"Our < sarcasm >fearless, charismatic president< /sarcasm > yesdterday said this phrase on national television... All military terms are French terms. Yet, our Commander in Chief pronounced 'corpse men'...instead of 'corps men.' Not once, not twice, but THREE times."


Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Sharpen your claws for this one, because after seeing Bush get smacked around, I'm never letting Obama live this down. He has time enough to do interviews for People magazine and commercials with George Lopez, but can't find the time to learn proper diplomacy.


On that final note, the worst part? He was giving a speech to our military soldiers.

Am I the only one who has a problem with people being charged with felonies for throwing snowballs?

FEBRUARY 9--Felony snowball throwing charges have been leveled against two Virginia college students for allegedly pelting a city plow and an undercover police car during Saturday's blizzard. Charles Gill and Ryan Knight, both 21, were nabbed by cops in Harrisonburg, where they attend James Madison University. According to police, the pair first targeted a city plow last Saturday afternoon. The driver responded by calling cops to report the frosty fusillade. When police responded to the scene in a bid to identify the assailants, their unmarked vehicle also came under an icy assault. Gill and Knight, a guard on JMU's basketball team, were then apprehended and booked into jail for throwing missiles at occupied vehicles, a felony. Gill (top) and Knight are pictured below in Rockingham County Sheriff's Office mug shots. If convicted of the felonious snowball tossing, the men each face between one and five years in prison, and a maximum $2,500 fine.


Its not like they had ROCKS in them. Its not like they even had solid chunks of ICE in them or threw them directly at PEOPLE. They were balls of snow that people routinely lob at each other and cram in each other's faces. Paging Common Sense!
