Brickbat: Taking the Long Way Home
Columbus, Ohio, police have charged school bus driver Tia Denton with operating a vehicle while intoxicated. School officials became concerned when Denton was late dropping off elementary school students. They turned on her bus's GPS tracking device and saw she was missing stops. Meanwhile, someone called 911 after seeing her driving the bus erratically. Police say when she stopped Denton had an open container on the bus and blew almost three times the legal limit when they gave her a breath test.

THIS IS WHAT LIBERTARIANS WANT.
If I had to deal with a busload of children every day, I'd drink too.
It's... medicinal.
Ah, the government-approved people are better at looking after our children than parents are.
They also aren't charged with child endangerment when they endanger children.
What a bunch of racists.
Am I cool yet?
YOU ONLY WRITE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT'S A PUBLIC SERVANT. MILLIONS - MAYBE BILLIONS - OF AMERICANS DRIVE DRUNK EVERY DAY. BUT BECAUSE IT'S A PUBLIC SCHOOL SERVANT, YOU LIBERTARDIANS CHERRY PICK THESE STORIES JUST TO SUPPORT YOUR KOCHTOPUS MEMES.
SCREW YOU, REASON!
Too many caps, did not read.
This just must be an Ohio thing. (there seem to be a lot of those lately) I'm pretty sure the bus driver I had as a kid was drunk half the time, or high.
Is Mandela still dead?
We'll double-check in three days time.
Zombie Mandela is about to start fighting for an end to undead apartheid.
He'd better be, Obama is prepping for an ego tour de force at his funeral.
There is a dude that knows what is going on. Wow.
