There was no way to actually know that from the news report. (That would require reporters to always file from a) a place and b) the place where the news happened!)

The Balabans’ letter said the video was meant to show the effects of drunken driving.

My driving instructor never told me that I could go to hell for blowing over the legal limit.

Pretty slickly done too. I guess there are plenty O’ bible-thumper types who know their way around Final Cut Pro.

Sigh…

Basically Adam and Eve ( who were in the whole leaf getup) were walking around talking about the skeletal system. I was heavily entertained when I stayed after class and asked my health teacher if Adam had one less rib then the modern man. I tried to look serious as I waited for her answer, In which she kind of grimmiced at me and sidled away to the corner murmuring something about ‘discussing this with your parents’:D

I am now free to strut in the room every day, do a little flip of my hair in her face, and sit down; and she can’t do anything about it – I wonder if I and the ACLU control her career?

And that there’s postal service from Down There to Up Here …

Showing that to kids? That’s perverted. They’d be better off seeing “The Devil in Miss Jones”.
