His anti-Obama obsession was probably just one of his mental disorders.

Too many kicks to head.

"A glass-ectomy is when you cut your belly button out and put a piece of glass in there so when you have your head up your butt you can see where you're going," Volkmann told a reporter....

You'd have to bend backwards or do a post-insertion exorcist style head flip for that to work.

(Yes, I imagined how that would work out.)

Isn't the suffix "ectomy" used to describe removing something? This procedure sounds more like an umbilicusectomy.

Nah. If you go forward (just remove the ribs like Marylin Manson) you would end up looking out your navel.

"Volkmann was visited by the Secret Service after he said Obama was "not too bright" and that "someone's got to knock some sense into that idiot."

"They said, as of now, you cannot be around the kids."

"It's unclear how many complaints were received regarding Volkmann's comments, she said."

Let's help her:

"at least one parent contacted school officials and complained about his latest comments regarding the commander in chief"

"may provide a "negative impression" in the eyes of district officials"

"may provide a "negative impression" in the eyes of Democrat district officials"

FTFY

"Volkmann was speaking off duty"

Welcome to ObamaNation!

Mmm mmm mm

Wow. He got a visit from Secret Service for his comments. While I agree these comments were not bright, and don't disagree with him losing his position over it, that seems a wee bit thin to dispatch SS over a comment like that.

Imagine how much harder this Secret Service has to work to keep our President safe that for previous Presidents. Four years ago, how many of you thought President Obama would have been shot by some James Earl Ray wannabe by now?

"I only have a few seconds on air, so I need to make them count. [But] I feel that way. It was just a joke."

Fine. Your time's up, shitbird. Bye bye.

Dont think that his 'joke' is all that bad (was funny 40 years ago when I first heard it in the military). He learned a partial lesson from his previous experience; at least he did not threaten physical harm to the POTUS this time. He obviously didnt learn the complete lesson.

I think that a suspension is over kill, but we do not know if his school administrator cautioned him to leave his Obama obsession disorder at home after the previous incident.

I say, give him another chance with a clear message that his job at school is to teach the boys to knock an opponent down and keep him down for 3 seconds. It is not to preach his political hatred to his charges.

"It is not to preach his political hatred to his charges."

It was done during a UFC fight in a conversation with joe rogan, not a classroom rant or anything like that.

"his Obama obsession"

Amazing how when some were frothing at the mouth over bush that was just fine, but when someone worse comes along it becomes an "obsession" or mental disorder.

So for clarification, do the rules change back once obama looses or will they stay in effect for a while?

i dunno. our Presidents have always been a target for hatred. i can't image that there were less people wanting to hurt Bush than there are that want to hurt our sitting President. It still seems pretty thin. I wouldn't be surprised if there's something a little more to it as well that we are not hearing about.

This guy would have his job if he had shown the good sense to only talk shit like this about the gop or a republican president.

You're probably right, but when some new guy had to go to sick call on the ship, we used to ask them if they were going to get that new procedure, the addadictomy. Most simply said no, never realizing the joke.

OMG....how many pages did you have to go through to find that old article?

Do you have a shortcut you could teach me?
