Can't blame God, you put his ten commandments in every classroom. You can't blame the left, you've had control of TX for 25 years. You can't blame the local politics, the area is a sea of red. You've tried blaming campers and camps, but that's going over like a lead balloon.

I honestly think their official line will be a variant of "well, these things happen. Let's just move on..." by Fri. afternoon.
