"Your rule about no yelling out in class...that's a violation of my 1st Amendment rights!"

Anderson Cooper as a Kid. Today, an expose that asks the question: Who IS Simon, and why must we do what he says?

"You're definitely descended from the apes. I'm descended from Adam and Eve."

'I looked, and the Ten Commandments don't say ANYTHING about running with scissors!'

'I'm Timmy Jones of the 'Young Republicans'. I'm collecting to run for president in 2028, and my goal is to be another Ronald Regan!'

Cut the small talk-I'm almost seven.

"Before I say anything, I'd like to have my friend, who wants to be a lawyer when he grows up, present"

'Ah, it's so precious to witness a child learn how government actually works...'

'Principal Harris, I vehemently deny all the allegations against me. The accusations are a mirage of lies, half-truths...'

Difference of Opinion

Changing Minds

"Strawman argument terrorises conversation... News at eleven."

"Now that's a win."

" 'How I Spent My Summer Vacation,' a treatment by Todd Mozelle, Grade Three."

"Ok, Ok! The ball wasn't out!"

"You're 5 years old now, Timmy. It's about time you retain an attorney."

A bunch of global warming skeptics want to join eco club. It's a school organization. You have to let them in. But they just want to harass us with selective facts! Today: Eco club. So? Debate is good. You have :An Inconvenient Truth" to counter their arguments. Oh. Great. Now we'll have to read it.

Do you go for Hannity or O'Reilly? Tough call. O'Reilly's presence is so big, fearless. Whereas Hannity has a wicked fast tongue and such inner strength. As symbolized externally by his jawline. O'Reilly is so tall. Something strange is happening. Coulter's a bit masculine for my tastes. Ditto. HOJ.
