IN THE CURRENT NEWS CLIMATE THERE’S SOMETHING VERY COMFORTING ABOUT A SIMPLE STONER SCHOOLGIRL SCANDAL

While America tanks, the economy continues in desperate freefall, and Fannie Mae forecloses on the Akron, Ohio, home of Addie Polk, causing the ninety year-old woman to shoot herself, the insane McCain campaign attempts to distract us by trying to link Barack Obama with Al Qaeda on account of his middle name, and Palin supporters scream “Terrorist!” and “Kill Him” at the mention of his name. Thus it came as momentary relief when aeswiren sent us the following, noting in passing that teaching assistants were a great deal more hip in his day…

GIRL FED SCHOOL STAFF HASH CAKES

"Two teaching assistants at a school in Leeds were taken to hospital after eating cannabis in "hash cakes" given to them by a pupil.
The schoolgirl was suspended from Wortley High School after she took the cakes to school on 10 September.
A spokesman for Leeds City Council said the girl had since been moved to a different school. No police action was taken over the matter.
Leeds City Council said neither staff members made formal complaints.
The council spokesman added: "Wortley High School does not condone drugs and was disappointed this incident took place.
"The school works hard to educate its pupils about the dangers and implications of drug abuse and will not tolerate any behaviour of this kind."
