No one was in the bus. There is speculation that it may have something to do with abortion politics but no one knows anything for a fact.
Here is my attitude on the matter of abortion:
Any Government strong enough to outlaw abortion will be strong enough to make it mandatory.
Which is why I support Rockford Pro Life. They want nothing to do with a government solution.

A terrible crime, and it should be more widely reported. If the speculation is right, the arson was retaliation against children for the school’s exercise of its First Amendment rights.
This is more or less off-topic, except for the government-power angle. There’s also a Fast & Furious connection.
I was reading this: http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/1350936
and these two sentences jumped out at me:
“‘This [drug] shortage appears to be a direct result of over-aggressive and excessive regulatory action,’ House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said in a statement.”
and:
“President Obama signed an executive order last year to help the FDA anticipate drug shortages while knocking Congress for failing to pass his preferred legislation on the issue.”
Now, the suspicion is that Fast and Furious was a premeditated ploy to turn the public against firearms rights, because Administration surrogates were in fact out claiming that F&F proved that we needed to clamp down on civilian gun ownership.
Here we have a similar pattern. The FDA re-interprets existing regulations more harshly and creates drug shortages. The President gets in front of the cameras and claims that the drug shortages require more federal control over generic drug manufacturers. Coincidence? Cluelessness? Premeditation?
I dunno.
I apologize for hijacking the comments, but I don’t think anyone else has noticed this.
Neil,
Excellent. Similar points have been made around here (in posts and comments) for years. As long as it is going on it never gets old or OT.
