    Why can't they put on a production of La Cage aux Folles or The Bird Cage next? Skip's weepy son gets to wear his dress & conservatives & liberals unite - everybody wins!

    I'm not a moralist by any means, but I thought my son's pre-school's production of Bad Lieutenant was a poor choice. I will say, however, that little Tyler Steinmetz, as The Lieutenant, totally owned the masturbation scene. So much pain in the eyes.

    Yes! The boys must dress in drag! It's the American Way! Anything else is giving in to the Homosexual Agenda!

    wait what??

    I want the School Board to respond by hosting a student drag show. It's the only appropriate solution.

    I didn't read all the posts, so if this is old news, I apologize, but Kinkaid is the high school alma mater of Wes Anderson.

    I'm thinking the cross-dressing skits might actually rise to a new level

    The image of a Lehman exec's teenage son blinking back tears of confused rage, shame, and filial protectiveness makes for a somewhat fascinating tableau on the concept of "inheritance." So, so well played.

    Trying to save LEHMAN jobs, which was part of the sale deal. Didn't mention that to his son -heads rolled from a lot of Barclays employees & many more did not receive bonuses (Barclays is not a TARP bank) where Lehman people took care of their own. 25m makes me sick - no one deserves that, especially in a year when everybody who originally worked there lost money & sleep.

    I was about to say things are not going to go well for sonny boy either amongst some of his peers, now that daddy's embarrassing letter has leaked. But I didn't realize this all took place in Texas so it may be likely there's a bunch of Bush & Palin lovers who totally agree with this rant.
    Or, just because the d-bag's rich, they'll all kiss his buttocks and tell him how brilliant he is while laughing behind his back.
    Still, hilarious post.

    I keep reading that school's name as Kink-Aid. Sounds like a fundraiser put on by the Leather/S&M community.

    Yes, you entitled dick. We've "lost our way." From a lurching trail leading to incivility, ignorance and white trash hostility.

    @BadUncle: Amazing how one year of Obama's socialism (where nothing has actually changed) has sent this country flying down a path of massive deficits, no healthcare, no energy policy, and over 10% of the population unemployed. Don't even get me started on how the lesbian gym teachers have ruined this country! I'm sure this dick has a 1/20/13 bumper sticker on his Cadillac Escalade truck. Whenever I read crap like this I always think of Mike Nichols old saying "the champagne is flat, and the caviar has run out...will the misery never end?"

    If at a private school for rich people in Texas a guy like this is complaining, then (1) there is no silent majority and (2) things are looking up.

    As for Andrew Edison, the Wacky Non-Candidate always wins student government president elections. Ours went onto a distinguished career as a penny stock trader until the SEC banned him for life. He then got exposed running a fraudulent political action committee. All before the age of 30.
