From Oklahoma City, Oklahoma:
It's the new hit country duo, Books and Shields!

This hillbilly, Republican Bill Crozier, a candidate for state superintendent of Oklahoma schools, has suggested that students use textbooks to block gunshots. He seems to have done a bit o' testing of his theory himself. Dubious am I that he tried all caliber of weapon on English Composition for Juniors, he did have possession of an AK47 and those shots fired did blast through the textbooks. Not satisfied that his theory was disproved, no, he then proceeds to get a Glock...then...

oh for god's sake

WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING ON ABOUT HERE? AMURICAH and the NRA, YOU GOTTA BE PROUD! WE'VE GOT A GUY RUNNING FOR A STATEWIDE OFFICE SAYING THAT THE BEST IDEA HE'S EVER HAD WAS THIS!? THAT THIS IS THE SOLUTION TO THE VIOLENCE IN OUR SCHOOLS!

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE IDIOCY AFOOT! HE THOUGHT IT WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA HE PUT THE WHOLE TEST ON VIDEO. IT'S ON TEE VEE NOW and THIS BOOB IS ON YOUTUBE, TOO! THERE ARE MOVING PICTURES OF THIS YAYHOO HOLDING AN AK47 AND SHOOTING TEXTBOOKS. YOU MIGHT ASK ABOUT THE WITNESSES, AND I LAUGH INSANELY, BUT OF COURSE, THERE WERE LITTLE KIDS AROUND! WE'RE TALKING THE WEST, HERE. MEN, GUNS AND THE BOYS WHO TAKE THEM TO SCHOOL. MANLY MEN WITH A MANLY SMELL.

ONE GUY WITH BILLY WAS LOADING THE AK47 AND DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS ALREADY A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER, AT LEAST NOT UNTIL IT SHOT OFF! THIS, TOO, IS ON THE TAPE! HELLO? EDITING?

HAVE WE LOST OUR COLLECTIVE MINDS? IS THIS THE BEST CANDIDATE THE R's CAN FIELD TO RUN FOR STATEWIDE OFFICE OVER SCHOOLS? IS THIS THE REPUBLICAN WHO CARES FOR KIDS?

OH NEVER MIND THE R's IN THIS! IS THIS THE BEST WE CAN OFFER FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN? OHMIGOD!


LIFT OFF AND NUKE IT FOR MORBID, FOLKS!

But lucky for those students in Oklahoma Sandy Garrett is running for RE-ELECTION. She is apparently the only woman in Oklahoma history to hold state wide office and the only woman to be re-elected 4 times. Oklahoma needs help if this is the case, but at least she understands that before bullets fly and books are used as shields, students need to be safe to learn. Education is prevention.

I'm just wondering what politically savvy Einstein sat with this yokel, heard his idea, scratched himself and said "Yup, Billy, that there idear is an E-lection winner." Read here for Your tax dollars at work!
