Our of the Mouths of Babes (Listed by Class website from USA website OnMilwaukee.com 17/6)

I do not care who you are or what you believe in, this is funny.

Barack Obama at a recent city elementary school assembly in Richmond, Virginia asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence. Then he said into the microphone, "Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence."

Then, little Tyrone Washington, with a proud Richmond Virginia drawl, pierced the quiet and said; “Well, dummy, stop clapping!"




shame the truth gets in the way of a good story

Just because it isn't factual doesn't effect the underlying truth it expresses.
