this begs the question 

Dem Senators Open To Allow Innocent Chinese Detainees To Live In U.S.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had taken a hard line on detainees earlier last week, saying that none could be transferred to the United States, not even to prisons. He dialed that back a bit in a recent interview with the Las Vegas Sun.

But the best he would do is say the Uighurs "probably" don't belong in maximum security prison.

"There's no question that a number of these people who are there are not guilty of anything. The Uighurs, these are a group of Muslim Chinese who are guilty of nothing. They were arrested, put in there. They are there. They are doing nothing. We're going to have to find someplace to put them. We can't send them back to China. Should they go into a maximum-security prison? Probably not," he said.

There's no question that a number of these people who are there are not guilty of anything. The Uighurs, these are a group of Muslim Chinese who are guilty of nothing.

What the frack?

Guilty of nothing?

Well again, what the friggin' frack are they doing there in the first place?

Scary.

You think it's a:

"Oh I'm terribly sorry. Yes, yes, I know you've done absolutely nothing wrong. Yes, yes, innocent and all that. Hmm? Yes totally. But you see, now we rather have sort of a problem. We have reason to believe that despite of, or most probably because of, your innocence. . . um. . . You seem to be really, really pissed off. No, no, wait just one moment, sir. Those scatalogical references are completely inappropriate. But angry, um. . . yes, righteously so. And as such, so sorry to tell you this, but we can not now possibly ever let you go because we fear how you may someday vent your anger."

Sort of thing.

Or something like that.

another sad day 


Terrance
April 7, 1987 - May 21 2009

It was with much shock, sorrow and sadness that we learned this morning about the sudden and unexpected death of another student. He passed away sometime during the night, while he slept. Why? What happened? At present we do not know. We learned of this from his bus driver, who was told this by the staff at the group home when they stopped to pick him up this morning.

While Terrance was not currently in my class, he is a kid I have known for sixteen years. He was one of the first children with significant disabilities I met way back when I was still only considering a career in special education. He was one of the kids that drew me in, stole my heart and inspired me to become a teacher.

Terrance, sometime in the mid 90's.

I've said it before and Lord knows I will say it again: this just plain fucking sucks.
