Today I had to half-heartedly reprimand a student for defacing a Time Magazine with Sarah Palin on the cover.  He had given her a moustache and warts.  I simply said that the magazine was classroom property which is not to be destroyed.  The reaction from onlookers was “Yeah, but that’s Sarah Palin.”

Apparently the GOP can be glad that inner-city school children aren’t allowed to vote.

Today at work I had to confiscate a small bottle of Usher brand cologne.  I noticed it when one boy was spraying it in another’s open mouth.  If that didn’t perfectly symbolize the interface between pop culture and today’s youth, I don’t know what does.
