Opening Arguments

We can seeee you

You've seen people who drive around picking their noses. 'Cause they think they're invisible inside those cars, right? Now we have the whole new group of people (or maybe they're all nose-pickers who have moved up to better things) who think the Internet is like a private little gathering place where you can do anything and nobody will ever know.

Today, we have Rep. Chris Lee, who now has the shortest time to beat in the scandal-to-resignation duration. Best reaction:

Congressional ethics: texting shirtless pictures=reason to resign in disgrace. Spending $1.5 trillion you don't have=Wednesday.

Best bonus information about Lee: 

Lee had been seen as a rising star in the Republican party, but was also reportedly called out last year by then-Minority Leader John Boehner for partying too much in Washington and inappropriately hanging out with female lobbyists.

Whoops! Guess it wasn't a total surprise.

 And there is also high School English teacher who has been suspended for using her blog to say things she wouldn't dream of saying in person:

The Central Bucks School District has suspended a high school English teacher after parents complained to administrators about her blog in which she railed on her students for more than a year.

Phrases on the blog include; “Frightfully dim,” “Rat-like,” “Am concerned your kid is going to open fire on the school,” “I hate your kid,” and “Seems smarter than she actually is.”

Those are the words of teacher Natalie Munroe, according to the Central Bucks School District.

School district spokeswoman Carol Counihan says Munroe admitted to writing the blog.

One of her students said, "I thought she was smarter than that, to put that on the Internet for everyone to see." No, kids your age are that smart. Those of us creeping up in years still have a little trouble getting the hang of this newfangled digital hoorah.

What? People CAN'T see me in my car?
Nose-picking is the least of it. I'm lucky I haven't been arrested.
Please tell me you're kidding. I really am invisible in my car, right? Right?
Uh-oh.
