Bus Monitor’s Fund Explodes with Generosity

After a cell phone video of Rochester, NY, school bus monitor Karen Klein being cruelly harassed by students went viral, one viewer thought it would be nice to create a retirement / vacation fund for the beleaguered woman.  Klein says she doesn’t want the involved students arrested, just “grounded all summer, or maybe all year.”  She adds that she’s been overwhelmed by the public’s response.  Klein’s fund is now approaching the $600,000 mark.

As a victim of school bullying, I’m so glad this case came to light.  While Klein has some measure of sympathy for the brats who harassed her, I feel they should get smacked around by an adult, preferably a man like me who knows how Klein feels.

I knew this battle would be hard fought and not easily won. But, we just can’t give up the fight and hope everything just sort of works out. It won’t! Water rights are too critical to the survival and welfare of anyone.

The following Memorandum was written by Hopi Tribe water rights attorneys Richard Monette and Joe Mentor. The Memo was submitted to the Hopi Tribal Council on June 15, 2012, the same day that the Council voted 11-4 to reject SB 2109 by adopting Hopi Tribal Council Resolution No. H-065-2012. The Memo outlines what they consider to be the legal implications for the Hopi Tribe if the Tribe endorses or rejects SB 2109. Click here to download the Memo as a PDF document.

Quote of the Day

“When someone wraps their own hate speech in a ‘god blanket’ it makes it easier for a subset of people to accept, and eventually it may even gather a following.  The problem is that anyone outside of that subset is turned away from not only that particular subset, but from the entire religion.”

Dennis Mansfield, on his former friend Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association.

“Let’s be clear.  Not only are we digging out of a hole that is 9 million jobs deep; we are digging out of an entire decade where 6 million jobs left our shores.”

– President Obama, in a speech in Cleveland last week.

Well, I’ll be damned!  Do I detect some back bone growing inside that man?
