You can't expect Doocy to suddenly fire up to the emotional and intellectual level of your five year old.

if she had taken the chance to ask Douchey why it's OK to expect children to wear bulletproof backpacks, have shooter drills, and be butchered, but a mask is too damn much to ask.

much more grace and poise than the adults. I see them masked up everywhere. It is true that they can wear their masks all day.

I despise my mask, but I wear it anyway. It makes my nose run. I cough.

I have gotten away with wearing it very little in the fitness center. The place is nearly deserted over the summer. (I work out at a community college). Starting Monday, the masks will be required again in educational institutions, per Governor Pritzker. Of course, social distancing has always been required.

I don't want a breakthrough infection. I don't want to be forced to stay home again. I don't want to infect a bunch of college kids if I happen to be a carrier.

So simple a child can do it! What is wrong with the rest of us?

(D is for DeSatan!).

I started teaching in 1976 and I'm still going. My wife just retired after 41 years of teaching...believe me, the vast majority of kids can handle a lot more than a mask without "psychological harm".

There are plenty of educated, wealthy parents who cause more harm than the typical, well-organized kindergarten with an experienced, certified teacher.

"I have a problem with Keith Olbermann," Steve Doocy said. "Keith Olbermann made my son the world's worst person. How can you make a kid the world's worst person?" Doocy asked. "Next time you see Keith Olbermann on TV, just remember: that is a guy who picks on people's children. He completely sandbagged my son, took his comments out of context, and mangled them around the way he does every night. And I am mad at Keith Olbermann."
