Red State town denies Marine Opportunity to attend Prom

[BOSSHOG]

A 21 year old Marine with orders to Iraq in hand has been denied by a Mississippi schoolboard the right to attend his girlfriends Prom. The 21 year old Marine has been dating the 18 year old Pearl River Central Mississippi High School Senior for four years. The school board says they have a policy that no one 21 or older can attend the proms.

They began dating when he was a Senior and she was a Freshman. Now they can't go to the prom. Wow, that's really supporting the troops. I'm sure the townsfolk will all come out for his funeral.

Red State = Republican = Support The Troops = My Ass

with their yellow made in China ribbons on the backs of their vehicles.

Sometimes the irtony is almost too much to bear.
