Death by peanuts? Did not know that was possible.

Give me a break.

You know what? I am highly allergic to assholes, and I hope, and pray, that I won't have to encounter another one, or I will have to sue God! He will have to pay big time, because all I have encountered in my whole life is a big slew of assholes.

I don't mean to make light of people with allergies (I have allergies myself, but shit!!!) I guess as long as there are attorneys anything can happen. No offense Beale.

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. -- A sixth-grader was suspended after school officials accused him of threatening to expose a highly allergic teacher to peanut butter cookies, the boy's father said Thursday.
Ack, the wording in that. I have visions of a 10 year old opening up a trenchcoat and flashing the teacher his cookies, and she collapses from a heart attack. "Expose" my aunt sally.

You are right, but what do you expect out of a third rate paper? (and third rate is being generous)

AP = wire service .. not a paper. TV, well, uh, it's TV.

Just confused, that's all.

HUGE difference.

Read your local paper for its top stories, then tune in that night to see the tv news cover it. It's rare that TV will beat paper to meaty stories.

And AP is a wire service, meaning that while their articles will be printed in many newspapers, they don't have their own newspaper, per se ...

Yep.

Most papers have 2 am deadlines these days.

And usually the 11 is a regurgitation of the 6, with maybe two adds.

If it's breaking, TV has it over paper, there's no arguing that.
