Pop Tart Politics

The news both local and national is getting to be just a little bit ridiculous. The latest foolishness I hear of happened here in Maryland. In Anne Arundel county. A seven year boy eating a pop tart at school noticed it looked somewhat like a pistol after he had taken several bites from it. Showing it to a classmate, an administrator sees it and sends the boy to the principle. He is suspended for two days ! Threatening with a pop tart. He didn't even get to finish his pop tart. Forgive me but I think that is just about the most ridiculous thing I've heard of. A pop tart, really ?
In the national news we have homeland security releasing criminals because they don't have money to keep them in jail. Yet, the government just loaned 250 million to Egypt. Then the President saying, we need to make better decisions. Ya think ?
Another group here in Maryland want the homeless people,that have a small tent city under a overpass, moved because the conditions are unsanitary. Did you really think they would have running water and sewer ? Why is this news ? Unfortunate that we have these problems in the country, but by and large the homeless don't normally have, well, a home.
I grow weary listening to the foolishness. I hear a lot of people talking, but not saying much of substance. The only way I can describe it is, floundering ! The country in general is floundering. A lack of direction and determination. No one wants to be responsible for the hard choices. Just keep blaming it on everyone else. The headlines are attempting to show our concern and caring. That's why we are suspending kids for pop tarts, that'll stop gun violence for sure. Nip it in the bud. The Barney Fife method. Give everyone one bullet and you have to keep it in your pocket. The real problem lies not in the type of weapon, but the type of person using that weapon !
Good grief I'm glad I have a sense of humor. You just have to laugh at some of this stuff.
