Don't be fooled by Thompson's "centrist republican" rhetoric. With a

Even if you're discharged military, don't wear anything camo colored to political events. Or at least, not anti-war ones. Feel free to pull out the dress uniforms for Bush stump speeches though.
If you bought your toothpaste in a discount store and it was made in China, throw it away.More on the bad behavior of NY Police and Security in NYC schools. The NYtimes has also had several front page articles on this this week. Following the articles a week or so ago that listed NYC Police as some of the lowest paid in the nation, I can't help but wonder if low pay and stress combine to result in a "bully" mentality that is being allowed free reign in the minority neighborhoods, with teens being the most vulnerable populations there. Not that there isn't other issues that probably contribute, but it's something that's stuck in my mind.
