I wonder what they'd make of all those chemistry kits given to kids this Christmas

Doesn't mention that he was tasered. Was he not hiding in the shower? Great combination. Surprising they missed that opportunity.

The stupidity of the war on drugs collides with the idiocy of the war on terror and leaves us with the war on college level science!
