religious rant. In uniform, from a pulpit.

What idiot invited that asshole in the first place? That moron who picked this jerk needs "orders home" IMO.

I suspect that he didn't really withdraw, I suspect that he was "uninvited" the second an adult in charge realized who the hell he was, and they gave him the courtesy of allowing him to act like it was his idea, when in fact he was rebuffed.
