No.

I suspect that there's a long explanation that ties his knowledge of this matter to some profoundly disturbing representation of a government agency, or to obscure religious trivia. One of the two.

I await his elaboration.

wow. if I were a freudian I could really make some assumptions from the choices you made here. Patton is most famous because he moved his forces unheard of distances in very short times just to engage that armor: but you knew that, didn't you?

So he should instead have asked if this related to your obsession with your excretory functions?

I have four kids, including twins under the age of 1. Eskimos have 40 words for "snow"; is that proof they are obsessed with it?

I'm so terribly misunderstood.

Seriously, wtf?

More than 60 campers from Northeast Philadelphia were turned away from a private swim club and left to wonder if their race was the reason.

"I heard this lady, she was like, 'Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?' She's like, 'I'm scared they might do something to my child,'" said camper Dymire Baylor.

The Creative Steps Day Camp paid more than $1900 to The Valley Swim Club. The Valley Swim Club is a private club that advertises open membership. But the campers' first visit to the pool suggested otherwise.

"When the minority children got in the pool all of the Caucasian children immediately exited the pool," Horace Gibson, parent of a day camp child, wrote in an email. "The pool attendants came and told the black children that they did not allow minorities in the club and needed the children to leave immediately."

The next day the club told the camp director that the camp's membership was being suspended and their money would be refunded.

"I said, 'The parents don't want the refund. They want a place for their children to swim,'" camp director Aetha Wright said.

Campers remain unsure why they're no longer welcome.

"They just kicked us out. And we were about to go. Had our swim things and everything," said camper Simer Burwell.

The explanation they got was either dishearteningly honest or poorly worded.

"There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club," John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement.

While the parents await an apology, the camp is scrambling to find a new place for the kids to beat the summer heat.

It is inspired writing like this that makes me *heart* the absurd Transformers movie even more.

How often do you fantasize about burying your kids at sea?

I still lack a tooth and someone has expressed regret that can't tell I have brain damage.

If they knew you before, it might be hard to tell

Are they in a time warp where it is the 1950s or 60s?

Their lawyers have to be struggling to find a way to make this sound other than what it is. Otherwise those little black kids are gonna end up owning that club after their discrimination suit.
