A President Responds to the Crisis in the Golf

Dear Mr. President: It’s spelled with and “U” not an “O.” G-U-L-F not G-O-L-F. Have you no shame?
PS: You might also want to remind your Chief of Flatulence Rahm Emanuel 1) that if he wants to give advice about PR, perhaps he should look first to the 18th hole instead of the Isle of Wight and 2) that as usual, the members of your administrative cabal focus their attention on illusion rather than reality. BP’s PR is the last thing the staff should be worrying about.* Save a little concern for the oil workers your administration has callously thrown out of their jobs.
*Unless, of course, they are planning ahead for the next time they put the bite on BP for campaign contributions.

As a First Amendment absolutist, I agree completely with the court’s decision, which you can read here. Miss McMillen’s rights have been vindicated. She just can’t exercise them at the prom, which the court also said could remain canceled.
No harm, no foul, no prom.
Congress making no law abridging the right of a school district to cancel the prom.
