All along the radar tower...
On Thursday, the students at Boulder High School had visitors in bad suits--members of the Secret Service. What they did to effect this visit was to read a little Bob Dylan; specifically, "Masters of War."
The students were rehearsing a reading of the song for the school talent show, and a there was a rumor that they planned to change the last verse to make a specific reference to George W. Bush. Some students and parents were so upset by this that they called the Secret Service to investigate the matter. We all know, of course, that if 16-year-olds are going to carry off the assassination of a world figure, they will let everyone know by verse at a student talent event.
After my tax money was used to determine that Bush was in no danger from the guitar-wielding group that calls itself the Coalition of the Willing, everyone returned to class.
