A fifth grader from Colorado wore a homemade T-shirt — that said: "Obama is a terrorist's best friend" — just long enough to get suspended from school. On a day when students wore red, white, and blue to show patriotism, the 11-year-old son of a "proud conservative" decided to show his political opinion, too. The school told the boy to change shirts, turn it inside out, or face suspension. He chose suspension.
The school, which won't discuss the case specifically, says it respects a student's right to wear specific clothing, but looks into cases that might disrupt the learning environment. The father, who most likely predicted that the school would ask his son to remove the shirt, has plans to bring a lawsuit on the basis of free speech. Who do you think should win?
It seems like most of you like the freedom aspect of being single most, but that autonomy is often a double-edged sword. Though having the freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want is liberating, a common gripe I hear about being single is loneliness — having no one to rely on, no one to spend Sunday nights with, and not having that special someone to call just because. The grass is always greener, right? So to you 29 percent that think being single is a total drag, do tell, what is it you dislike most about being unattached?
As if this Nelly song wasn't catchy enough to be lodged in your head forever — add a cat rapping and singing. I wish that dude let Coco rap more. I was just waiting out his performance until she came on. (Have I heard this before, or does it just seem totally normal for a cat to sing?)
Because I'm a nice person, I made this picture small. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the bedbug that might just be hitching a ride back from your far-flung vacation destinations. Think I'm bugging out? I wish. Increased global travel has caused incidents of bedbugs to rise 40 percent in the UK — and it's not an isolated phenomenon. Discount airlines lure people to travel more, storing suitcases and clothes in tons of hotel rooms and bedbugs latch on from bedding and upholstery. The small blood-sucking creatures respond to body heat, leaving sufferers with itchy welts — and because the bugs can lay up to 4,000 eggs in a lifetime, they're apt to hang around, wherever their final destination.
