First, this old [KKK](http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=519&e=3&u=/ap/civil_rights_killings) gets convicted for those civil rights killings, then 6 [Krispy Kreme](http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=568&e=1&u=/nm/leisure_krispykreme_dc) officers get ousted. I’d avoid KOA Kampgrounds today if I were you. ---

Indeed, and once again Terri Schiavo is in the news talking about the potassium imbalance which caused her original collapse. What is the chemical symbol for potassium? K Terri Schiavo collapsed because of a K imbalance. Makes you wonder if this a bad day for the letter, or if the letter holds some sort of evil power in and of itself, doesn’t it? Enjoy, Steven ---

To top it off, Sesame Street has announced they will no longer be accepting episode sponsorships from the letter K due to its recent troubles. ---

> [@Mtgman](#): > > Indeed, and once again Terri Schiavo is in the news talking about the potassium imbalance which caused her original collapse. Hallelujah! It’s a miracle! And to think, those godless secular humanist Communistic liberals said she had no hope of recovery. Unless she’s claiming that, say, _human brains_ are rich in potassium and she therefore needs lots of those. That would be kind of ominous. ---
