At South Carolina's Brookland-Cayce High School, substitute teacher Judith Richards-Gartee

She was found throwing up in her classroom and hardly able to stand.
Then police noticed something unusual in her purse.
A big old box of wine which students reported she had been drinking in class.
Judith was removed from the classroom via a wheelchair, and charged with disorderly
conduct.
Students reported that she was consuming it in class.
***It’s the first time in written history that it was the teacher, not the students,
who was doing the WINE-ing.
There's a new study that claims we actually remember things better when we drink alcohol.
Someone might want to tell that to Judith – I don’t think she got the memo.
The University of Minnesota has dropped the King and Queen names from their Homecoming

Now the two chosen will just known as "Royals."
***How does anyone have the time to get a good education in college nowadays when they’re
so busy turning everything upside down to cater to political correctness?
It’s a constant thing - you’d never have time left for studying.
The entire town of Tiller, Oregon, is up for sale.
Yours, for just $3.85 million.
***Oh sure, NOW they tell me – after I’ve already spent the money to put a birdbath
in my backyard!
A man has been arrested for harassing Christians online and has been banned from any church
for five years.
Robert Skynner, 55, hosts a YouTube channel called Christian Comedy Channel which consists
of videos mocking Christians and Christianity.
***The irony of this, is that it’s people exactly like Robert Skynner, who Jesus died
for.
The founder and former member of a satanic church in Texas has converted to Christianity.
Jacob McKelvy, formerly known as Jacob No, was instrumental in bringing together a group

after becoming born-again Christians.
***TAKE THAT, ROBERT SKYNNER!
Some conservatives who work in the entertainment industry say that their political leanings
have become a career liability.

are estimated to be in the few thousands.
Friends of Abe, the entertainment industry’s largest conservative organization, has about

***Isn’t it great that the liberals who always scream and demand tolerance, are the

More men than women take teddy bears to bed as a partner substitute when sleeping alone,
according to a survey.
While 15 percent of women resorted to cuddling a teddy, as many as 20 percent of men admitted
to being big softies by opting for teddies.
Of the 2,000 people surveyed, 63 percent said they needed a bedtime cuddle to sleep, with
many of them saying they resort to hugging a pillow.
***Pansies.
While we’re on the subject of gender… men who open doors for women are as guilty
of sexism as those who are rude to them, according to a study.
Psychologists found that a friendly or chivalrous attitude can mask chauvinistic and patronizing
views because the men see females as weak creatures in need of their protection.
They warned that this "benevolent sexism" was harder to spot than the hostile version
borne out of an open antipathy.
Jin Goh, a psychologist from Northeastern University, Boston, in the U.S., said: "While
many people are sensitive to sexist verbal offences, they may not readily associate sexism
with warmth and friendliness.
Unless sexism is understood as having both hostile and benevolent properties, the insidious
nature of benevolent sexism will continue to be one of the driving forces behind gender
inequality."
***Whoa, whoa whoa… hold the phone, Newt!
Seriously?!?!
So if I open a door for a woman, I’m a male chauvinist pig?
What if I don’t open the door – and wait for her to open it?
Then I’m labeled an inconsiderate jerk.
Why can’t I open a door for someone...
not because I think they are weaker, but because I’m being polite?
I open doors for men and women.
I’m sexist if I open the door for a woman...
so then am I gay if I open that door for a guy? Or am I saying, “you’re too weak
to open the door for yourself”..?
I’m also opening it for ME – so now suddenly I’m a narcissist.
You’re over-thinking it feminists.
This has nothing to do with you being a weaker sex.
In my case, it’s out of respect.
I was taught to treat women not like equals, or lesser than men – but better than men.
You are the fairer of the sexes, deserving of more love and honor.
It’s not a DIS on you if I open the door when you approach.
It’s me saying, “My esteem for you is so high that I am allowing you to go before
me, my opinion is higher of you than of me.”
Unless you’re a liberal feminist that believes all the crap in this story...
at which point I might just let the door hit you in the face, because you’re no lady.
Sorry… rant over.
Where were we?
In Louisiana an unidentified man broke into a house, went straight for the refrigerator
and started eating.
The man ate an apple, some cookies on the couch, poured himself some orange juice, and
even heated up a cup of clam chowder.
He then fell asleep naked in the bedroom.
The homeowner’s son found the man and called police.
***Sometimes it is possible to get TOO comfortable in your job.
Scientists say that they are trying to figure out why humpback whales are now being seen
in large groups when previously, they were thought to be somewhat solitary creatures.

more and more of them are on Facebook.
