two questions...

a) Would you or any of the commenters had said the same if they had said "bin Laden"??? what about "McClellan"??? oh, and that's not to mention "holy Jesus f***ing Christ... b) Does politics belong inside the school premises??? Unless some sort of class on politics is being taught, I think there is an argument (not without problems, certainly, but admissible to me(*)) that your politics stay outside. (*) Not that I would go as far as banning the word itself (ever watched Z by Costa Gavras??), but I can see merit in the argument.
