Wait, so I'm confused. He's being investigated for stealing signs, but he had already paid the fine necessary to be granted his signs back? Is there some kind of question as to the timing of the payment, or what exactly is the misconduct being investigated here?

And this is why I hate election year. I hear so much more about why candidates aren't qualified to lead, and painfully little about why they are.

I do have to laugh at the "middle class success story" line though... the middle class generally just has a million dollars lying around to dump into their political campaigns? I guess I'm poorer than I thought.

$2,500 fine per egg? That's just insane.

I'd be a lot more concerned if it was McKenna himself that tweeted that. The real question is, will the McKenna campaign let her go? How they handle this means a lot more than the fact that they accidentally hired someone who tweeted something racist three months before she was hired.

I'm not a McKenna fan, but I'm also not a fan of witchhunts that have nothing to do with the qualifications or views of the candidate.

Ugh, teenagers! I had a feeling this was about some silly family drama or something stupid.

There are too many details left out to judge. I wonder who and how old the family member was... because if he was yelling threats at his kid for climbing on the baggage claim carousel, I've totally been there.

The problem I have with this is that education needs to prepare children for the real world, and a big part of that is learning how to work with people who are not like you. Mixing genders in the classroom forces boys and girls to have to deal with each other. Perhaps boys are getting less attention in the classroom for some reason, but that could be rectified without having to remove the icky girls.

Besides, yoga for girls before a test and boys going for a run? Way to enforce gender norms there. Girls, you be pretty and do some light stretching, let the boys do the real work!

The kid's story seems off to me, too. I wonder what proof the case hinges on after all this time has passed.
