Suburban Milwaukee high school chemistry teacher James Buss was arrested last week after leaving an anonymous comment on the Boots And Sabers political blog as part of a discussion on teacher’s salaries. Under the name of “Observer” James Buss wrote the following:

Looking at those teacher salary numbers in West Bend made me sick. $60,000 for a part time job were you work’ maybe 5 hours per day and sit in the teachers lounge and smoke the rest of the time. Thanks God we won on the referendum. But whining here doesn’t stop the problem. We’ve got to get in back of the kids who have had enough of lazy, no good teachers and are fighting back. Kids like Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold members of the Young Republicans club at Columbine. They knew how to deal with the overpaid teacher union thugs. One shot at a time! Too bad the liberals rip them; they were heroes and should be remembered that way

Police acquired the IP address of Buss from the blogs administrator then arrested him at his home at Cudahy, south of Milwaukee. Buss spent an hour in the Washington County jail before he was released on $350 bail.

1) CRACK open your briefcase or handbag, peer Inside and ask “Got enough air in there?”
2) STAND silent and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting off.
3) WHEN arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act as if you’re embarrassed when they open themselves.
4) GREET everyone with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you Admiral.
5) MEOW occasionally.
6) STARE At another passenger for a while. Then announce in horror: “You’re one of THEM” – and back away slowly
7) SAY -DING at each floor.

[Thanks, Bill!]

Wish I would have caught this episode.  The ability to call your father who happens to be POTUS fascinates me – I’ve always wondered how accessible a president can be to his or her family.  One thing is for sure, he’s a better dad than a baseball owner.

Jenna Bush, phone home. The first daughter appeared nervous when Ellen DeGeneres asked her to call her parents during a taping of DeGeneres’ talk show Tuesday. The show aired Wednesday. “They’re going to kill me,” the 26-year-old told DeGeneres. “I’m going to be in so much trouble.”

“No, they’re going to be thrilled,” DeGeneres said. “Why wouldn’t they want to say `hi’ to everybody and say Merry Christmas?”

“They may have wanted some warning,” responded Bush, who was on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” to promote her new book, “Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope.”

All was well, though, when she reached her parents on speakerphone.

“I’m just sitting here with daddy,” Laura Bush told her daughter, to which DeGeneres chimed in: “Oh hey! It’s Ellen. I wanted to say hi to daddy.”

So the president got on the line: “How’s my little girl doing?”

“Oh, she’s great. She’s scared she’s going to get in trouble because I just said, `Is it easy to just pick up the phone and call your dad anytime?'” DeGeneres said. “And now she’s scared she’s not going to get any Christmas presents.”

Bush said he wasn’t angry.

“I do want to say Merry Christmas to your audience, and I want to tell my little girl I love her,” the president said.

“I love you too, Dad,” Jenna responded.
