Well, I have been saying this for years, but finally Wired picked up on it... "Macs Save Money" send that to your Finance person when begging for a Mac at work. Now if I can just get my manager to get me a new one.....the squirrels in my current mac are getting tired.

"Bong Hits 4 Jesus" - This is the first "School Free Speech case" argued before the Supreme Court in 20 years. This case, argued before the Supremes on Monday, concerns an Alaska high school student who displayed a banner reading "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" as the Olympic torch passed through his town in 2002.

After he was suspended, the student, Joseph Frederick, now 23, said his banner was a "free speech experiment" that had no religious or political message and sued - all the way to the Supremes.

Ken Starr - (remember him, the "independent special prosecutor" from the Clinton years?) represented the school (and the Bush Administration) at the Supremes and argued, "To promote drugs is utterly inconsistent with the basic educational mission of the schools."

Justice Stephen Breyer said the case poses a legal dilemma. On one side is a principal trying to run a school full of students who test authority. "It's pretty hard to run a school where kids go around at public events publicly making a joke out of drugs," he noted. But a ruling against the student "may really limit people's rights on free speech," he said. "That's what I'm struggling with."

I am having my daughter report on this for her weekly "current event"in middle school. The good news is that she didn't know what a bong was and I had to explain it to her ! The other good news is that she jumped on it and said - "that's a violation of free speech" - right on sister. Guess she is learning something after all.
