Harper had it right the first time--it was a calculated, cynical, and dangerous maneuver orchestrated by the LPC through one of their 'henchmen'.

Pat LaMarche: Xenophobe: Warrior Princess
I know this pretty little lady. She's got a hot little husband and an adorable little boy. They are a sweet Maine family — picture perfect — including the little bun she's got growing in her oven. I call them little because they're diminutive. She barely clears five feet and he's maybe six inches taller. I don't know, maybe I'm "sizeist" but their smaller-than-average stature just adds to their allure. It adds to the surprise factor, too, when you find that they're xenophobic. Well, I'm not sure about the husband and the 2-year-old, but she definitely is. The other day she struck up a conversation with me about wanting to send the immigrants home. I asked her what tribe she was from, like the Penobscot or maybe one from away like the Cherokee. Mind you, I don't smile when I ask this — my standard rebuttal question — but for some reason every time I ask it, the person I'm asking laughs like I'm kidding.

January is school board recognition month for the state of Texas, and the Killeen Independent School District had its own way of showing gratitude to board members.
A ceremony was conducted Tuesday evening in the superintendent's office to give teachers, administrators and community members a chance to thank their local school board members.
KISD Superintendent Jim Hawkins said school boards are probably the last remaining representative of democracy and local control.
"They give so much time to the children, and this is the only payment they get," Hawkins said about the ceremony.
Board member Ron Rainosek said board members are really here to support the campuses.
"We do it as a chance to give back to the community," Rainosek said.
