“A Grant Is a Grant, Is a Grant, Etc.”
Teacher #1: “Is this new UofL grant from the U.S. Department of Education for JCPS on the level? I haven’t trusted them since Felner, the Psycho Dean, had a similar kind of grant and embezzled it.”
Teacher #2: “This is not a No Child Left Behind grant. JR says it will allow students to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and chant, ‘I can do it, I can go to college’.”
Teacher #1: “In that case, why not just give the God damn grant money to the kids and their families?”

If any of the allegations of abuse at Taylor Co. shelter are true – that’s horrific. But, just for some perspective – a “mass euthanasia” is 39 animals? LMAS kills that many on a daily basis. Hell, they often top 80 CATS in a single day, not counting the dogs.

These LMAS stats are enough to turn even the soundest, most reasonable cat owner into a “hoarder.”
