Boy investigated for violent essay

WEST WARWICK -- The Secret Service is investigating a seventh-grader who wrote a school essay that authorities say advocated violence against President Bush, talk show host Oprah Winfrey and others.

The boy's homework assignment for English class was to write what he would do on a perfect day. In addition to the president and Miss Winfrey, the boy wrote that violence should be directed at executives of Coca-Cola and Wal-Mart, police and school officials said.

"His perfect day would be to see the destruction of these people," Superintendent David Raiche said.

Authorities would not identify the boy or his teacher or release a copy of the essay.

The boy has been temporarily barred from school.

Seriously, what's suspending the kid supposed to do? He's obviously smarter than everyone at the school as it is! Admit him to Harvard Yale already. 😛

No, seriously. Their lips are almost as wide as their waists!

And they criticized Barbie for giving young girls an unrealistic body image?

I really like this show.

Less ambitious than the Tammy and the T-Rex project that came later, but this simple menu gets the job done. Nukie is one of the worst films ever made, by the way -- but in the good way. Not in the Flightplan way. Nukie's not offensive or insulting; it's just bloody awful.

I spent the better part of the last 48 hours mucking around with a multitude of programs in an attempt to figure out how to burn DVDs and encode various video and audio files.

I am frustrated and exhausted.

So now I shall sleep.
