Florida Is a Stupid State
Presumably this will be Part I in a series of infinite duration. Imagine this scenario: a 17-year-old Christian girl starts a Facebook friendship with a Muslim family in another state.

Yet Another Sign of the Apocalypse
Yet another sign of the apocalypse … Now there’s social media for your baby at http://lilgrams.com/. Really, America, how much higher can we make that pedestal that we put children on? Where will the insanity of child worship end? Oh where have you gone, George Carlin?
