Secret Service Agents question a Bellbrook High School student for wearing a controversial

... white house press secretary ari fleischer."

"hello again. ahh, just a quick update. it has come to the attention of the white house that a teenager was found to be wearing a t-shirt that was disrespectful of our leader, america's leader, president george w. bush II.

when we heard the news, all of us here in the white house were absolutely stunned and terrified. we dropped our efforts at coming up with fictitious bullshit, wait, i'm sorry, i mean pretexts for invading iraq, a mission now code-named "once again, the crusades", and threw up our hands and ran around screaming like idiots.

that was until the brave men and women in the secret service rushed in and got control of the situation. they immediately set up a task force involving thousands of personnel, found this out of control student, and set the student straight.

please, there's no need for alarm. the president has been informed, and has created a plan to help prevent these kinds of terrible, dangerous events from ever taking place again.

his plan, to be signed into law by executive order, and to take effect immediatly, is simple. everyday before class, whether kindergarten or graduate school, all students will have to recite these words:

-"i have to support my president because our society is no longer a place where dissent is allowed. if i disrespect my president in any way, i should expect the full power of the government to come down on me like a hammer. i shall always lick the boots of my superiors when commanded. all hail to the cheif!"-

by reciting these simple and easily remembered words, every child, whether 5 years old, or 25 years old, will learn the lesson of enforced allegiance and unquestioning support well.

that is all for right now. yes. questions?..."

now radicalized for the cause - thanks SS!

"The picture also showed cross-hairs on the Bush's forehead."

Just how stupid is this kid? A shirt that say "Not my President" is no big deal. You don't put crosshairs on the picture of any fellow citizen on a T-shirt and not expect trouble. I'd say the same thing if someone took a picture of all the volunteers at sf-imc, put it on a T-shirt and drew crosshairs on their heads. That's screwed up. You just don't do that. What a nut.

... at the power plays going on in washington. cnn's joe smith has the story."

-- Condi: Yes.
-- George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?
-- Condi: Yes, sir.

-- Condi: Kofi.
-- George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.
(Condi picks up the phone.)
-- Condi: Rice, here.
-- George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East?'

At my high school one boy, who had a confederate flag flying at his house and wrote articles for the school paper about how male students who drive cars instead of trucks are 'fags', had all sorts of bumper stickers on his large vehicle advocating the killing of Iraqi citizens for christ or how did that go... "kill them all, take their oil" or something similar to this in a way that rhymed. He and his friends all had pickups with axes and gun racks, and they plugged up the water fountains with chew.
He was a great artist who could sculpt realistic models of the rattlesnakes he killed, where he would turn their heads into jewelry, and he made and wrote about killing all the time, and he staged a fit and was a big pain in the ass every year on Martin Luther King Day, and his father was always coming in to chew out the administration for censuring him for stuff he did that made black students complain. Yet - the law was on the side of Jesse- it's his right to have those thoughts.

I agree with g.

Crosshairs on anyone is not appropriate for a school.

Children have been suspended elsewhere for less than that.

... we "should" get all up in arms and freak out a little more. let's send in the marines. let's arrest 'em all. let's form a posse, get some rope, and "teach" these out of control kids some lessons. today's youngsters are "out of control". they are all high on drugs and "disobediant" towards adults. their clothing is scandalous. their music is "satanic". this has got to "stop". they need to be "shown" the fear of god, and the righteous wrath of their superiors. posse, mount up.

My guess would be that the student is angry with Bush because he's threatening violence.
Maybe the student is unaware that a crosshair symbol is a sign of violence. Otherwise it's contradictory to threaten someone because they're threatening someone.

As for the secret service and the narks, screw them. That's at least overreaction and probably intimidation.

His name is Dan.
