"A total of 43 children were directly and indirectly shocked by electric stun guns during simultaneous ''Take Your Sons and Daughters to Work Day'' events gone wrong at three state prisons, according to new information provided Friday by the Florida Department of Corrections.

Also, a group of kids was exposed to tear gas during a demonstration at another lockup.

Three prison guards have been fired, two have resigned and 16 more employees -- from corrections officers to a warden -- will be disciplined due to the incidents that unfolded April 23, said DOC Secretary Walt McNeil. An investigation is ongoing.

None of the children in any of the incidents required medical attention or was notably harmed, McNeil said. He said the children, who ranged in age from 5 to 17, were all children of prison officials."

you get the idea.

And to see that still we do often think alike....

Has Palins Brother In Law found new employment?

These stellar employees could have worked at the sausage factory.

Lets hope these poor kids don't stay with the industry, in *any* capacity...

i suggest you look for some.

Try for clarity instead of the oblique approach. It might do you well.

that florida is home to some of the world's dumbest criminals. lighten up.

Telling me to lighten up? How did you get involved in this, anyhow?
Aren't there more important things in Pittsburgh to do?

Actually, I'd always liked the people I'd met from Pittsburgh. But I don't remember self-importance as being a common quality.

you're right. i do have better things to do. my brilliant genes are needed elsewhere. while i'm off spreading mirth and merriment, feel free not to laugh. you are a boring person without a sense of humor.

why'd i get involved? because i'm sick of people trying to portray bias as something that's obviously an attempt at humor. i'm sorry your taste in humor probably extends no further than a pithy remark about the bush administration. before you come at me with a laconic example, do yourself a favor and don't waste my time. you. are. lame.

(Well, maybe at the sixth-grade level...)

But we don't all laugh at the same things. Otherwise, you'd be an internationally recognized comedian, like George Carlin, or Bozo the Clown.

Now that's a euphemism's euphemism! Right up there with "collateral damage" and other classics of the form.

with comedy relief and stupidity. It was just a rumor to me before we actually moved here, but each day I am more and more amazed at the knuckleheads who do these things.

This isn't a joke????

"So, Mr. Jones, what did you say your family's conflict was?"

'It's our oldest daughter, Amanda. She's sullen all the time. She's combative. She won't do her homework or clean her room. Frankly, doctor, we don't know what to do with her.'

"Amanda, is what they're saying true?"

'Yeah. Fuck you.'

"And Mr. Jones, when do you think all of this started?"

'Oh, I'll tell you exactly when it started: the day after I tased her and threw a tear gas grenade at her feet during Take Your Daughter To Work Day at the prison I worked at. I mean, come on. None of the other parents would let me do that shit to their kids...'
