He frequesnts nudist camps and rarely works anywhere long enough to support his "mixed" family. He is a biased liberal who sees nothing wrong with pissing on the Constitution and the American flag.

And got away with it.<br /><br />Somerby's defense was, "No big deal since it can't be proven beyond any doubt that this was a case of gay-bashing. After all, boys will be boys."<br /><br />Well, it didn't have to be gay-bashing to be a rather extreme case of bullying. And the reporter interviewed every living person involved, and they all not only remembered the incident in detail, but expressed their deep regrets.<br /><br />All except one.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-327192509298797202013-08-20T02:40:21.324-04:002013-08-20T02:40:21.324-04:00The Outrage Machine needs periodic feeding.
