Paddling advocate uses our picture, cries victim

In recent days, a substitute teacher in Dallas has generated nationwide scorn for his Bring Back Licks website. His website advocates the "return" of corporal punishment to American classrooms.

In order for it to "return", it had to have vanished. Texas schools still paddle daily.

After seeing his ridiculous website, I ought to start a site called Bring Back Not Using Others' Pictures Without Permission. For his website, he "borrowed" the paddle photo that's appeared on this blog, rotated it slightly, and changed the words on it.

All without my permission, of course. Copyright laws? To the other side, they're just "damn pieces of paper."

He gets sillier.

Now the hapless oaf has been fired from his job as a substitute teacher for an undisclosed disruption. But he says his firing is "retaliation" for his support of paddling.

Seriously, he thinks that. People call me paranoid for thinking Bush didn't win Iowa without the election being rigged, but I've got nothing on this delusional clod.
