The serial cyber-bullying as well as his on-campus harassment of the student, Chris Armstrong, led to a leave of absence, then a suspension pending a hearing, and now his dismissal. Shirvell's attorney feels that it was the liberal media that started this tempest in a teapot. Indeed, posting pictures of the student with a swastika across his face, as a gay nazi, was considered OK. After all, this was done in his spare time not during Attorney General hours.  Mr. Shirvell was banned from the U of M campus until last week, although he is prohibited from having any contact with the student.

I asked Angle supporter Andrew Rothbart, who was very concerned about sound money, whether he thought the Senate was losing anything by losing a Democrat who opposed the Patriot Act and TARP.

"No, it's a good thing," he said. He held out his arm and pointed to an imaginary wound. "That 'D' is like an infection. You need to get rid of it."

As many as 14 armed Orange County deputies, including narcotics agents, stormed Strictly Skillz barbershop during business hours on a Saturday in August, handcuffing barbers in front of customers during a busy back-to-school weekend.

Asked why his unit made arrests for licensing violations, Ogden said: "It was a misdemeanor crime being committed in our presence. We decided to make arrests."

Berry said deputies entered his store and told his barbers to stop cutting and put their hands behind their backs. As barbers sat on the ground in handcuffs, he said, deputies removed his customers -- including children -- from the store, and began searching workstations and checking licenses without explanation.

Barbers and witnesses at several shops told the Orlando Sentinel that deputies shouted and cursed during the raids, demanding the location of illegal drugs, which they searched for extensively. They never found more than misdemeanor amounts of marijuana at eight of the nine shops they raided.
