GRAND RAPIDS, Iowa, Oct 13 (UPI) - In a piece of Friday the 13th bad luck,
10-year-old Blake Riffel joined Democrats onstage at a Grand Rapids rally,
where he passed out at the feet of Vice President Al Gore in front of
thousands of Iowans.

As Gore spoke, Riffel stood behind the vice president with about a dozen
other supporters who held up signs. About 10 minutes into the speech, Riffel
teetered for a moment and then fell forward, hitting the stage directly at
Gore's feet with a muffled thump that reverberated through the podium
microphone. He fainted just as Gore was taking a stab at GOP rival George W.
Bush's record on children's health care as governor of Texas ... [see link for full story]

The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crime. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

It's bad enough the president is on every channel when he speaks. If he gets in office, imagine how boring TV will be.
 
The kid's bulls*%t tolerance level must be much, much lower than those others who were there...guess it's that way when you're only 10.

The wisdom of babes is greater than that of adults. The boy was probably overtaken by the evil aura around Bore.

Wow. It's like that Pokemon thing that went around in Japan where the kids spasmed when certain scenes were shown.

That's what Gore gets for pimping out our kids in order to get elected.

Another thing - why wasn't that boy in school? Aren't we having an education recession?
