Before the 2008 election our school bus was a nuthouse, all the conservatives could do to keep themselves from being yelled at was not say a word, and one girl maybe 12 years old was shrieking, calling anyone with an unfavorable view of Obama a racist f@#!, then she took a pencil and stabbed a dozen holes in the back of the seat in front of me, she was not on the bus the rest of the year, her stop was the only one on our 1 1/2 hour route (I was the first one one, last one off 12 years in a row) where the siding was peeling off the side of the houses but everyone had a satellite dish.
