Nice to see one of the Brit’s crowing about the US going to the poor house....a depression...{gasp}. Just wait ‘till it dawns on'em, if we go down the drain and to the poor house, it condemns the UK/Eurabia to open-pit cesspools and back into caves. Stupid fck’in commies.

Big news around my town is the geologists have determined that the mile-long island attached to us by a causeway is actually a part of Africa that drifted over about 300 millions years ago. So does that mean Rev. Wright and the TUCoC congregation pledge allegiance to it?

I will have you know that Mighty Mouse is a cherished childhood hero of mine.

Youtube is busy with a Bush booing video at the top of the list as we speak. Some baseball function he attended.

The interesting thing is more that it is being put up by someone called FeizShakir. Yup .. one of them zionist people creating chaos again. Could also be a buddhist, but I think the name is a giveaway.

Half a million hits in a day? .. I think someone is pushing the stats to get it to the top !

And the good videos still seem to disappear at a healthy rate.

re: #62 Bubblehead II

interesting story... wishing i could come up with a funny quip about pistol-packing rabbis, but it's early

Miguel, LiL Olde, Canuck, la Wedgie, Infidelia, et alia...

I just emailed a Stateside buddy about the terrible state of public schools here in the Land of Smiles: it is theoretically possible to give a child a failing grade, but it is PRACTICALLY impossible. "Makes the student look bad, teacher look bad, school look bad and the student and parents are unhappy!"

So when I see pain on a child's face, pain of non-understanding, 'being lost', NOT GETTING IT...

AND I'm forbidden to contact the parents

AND I'm forbidden to award the grade earned,

no child is left behind in the rush to enforce mediocrity, reinforce the whole classroom of students' their perception that 'the system for YOU OLD PEOPLE is CORRUPT and UNCARING!" (Yes! It IS, KID!) and no child is unscathed by this corrosive, state-mandated deception!

/urk!

Good morning! A foggy 55 degrees in Chambodia as we await a whole heap of rain. Baby slept from 11:30 to 5:00 this morning. Whoohoo! Breakthrough!

As for beer, I currently have a case of Sam Adams and another of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in the larder. In my youth, Old Style was my cheap beer of choice, but you can't get it in Georgia, which is probably a good thing on balance.

Then there's Falstaff. I fondly recall the brewery at the Chicago end of the skyway with the grain elevators painted to look like a Brobdingnagian six pack.

re: #77 RedWhiteAndJew

/real good, RedWhite! :D

Ta Ta Lizards. Stay cool & keep it Obama!

re: #68 Karridine

Ah yes, the joys of "constructivist education." You begin with the notion that all children know everything they need to know and you simply "build" on that; what this teaches is a hatred of specialist knowledge (since knowledge is power, anyone who possesses it is immediately a tyrant) and a hostility towards learning (learning requires admitting you don't know something, which is the converse of constructivist programming).

All the talk about "standards" merely obscured the real issue facing public education -- the anti-intellectualism at the root of American intellectual "theory." Hofstetter correctly identified the source of the problem fifty years ago in his discussion of John Dewey in Anti-Intellectualism in America Life. Nearly 200 years ago Tocqueville diagnosed the danger to intellectual life pregnant in American egalitarianism. So it's not like we haven't been warned. But too many people, including Bush, seemed to think it was possible to change the institution from within, without taking the time to consider the extent to which the institution itself is the problem.

What the Bush administration seemed not to understand is that the real problem with public education lies in the schools of education and their death grip on the accreditation process. In Georgia, the Public Service Commission supervises teacher education and certification, and the review boards are entirely staffed with professional educrats from the state colleges whose entire goal is to perpetuate the NEA dogma.

The only solution to public education, it seems to me, is to ban the NEA as a criminal conspiracy, shut down all schools of education, and force teacher to take real academic subjects. Oh, and "developmental psych" courses shouldn't count towards the degree.

Want a good foundation for education? Read John Locke's Thoughts Concerning Education as well as Nathan Tarkov's commentary on it, Locke's Education for Liberty.

It is unfair Karridine, no question about it :(

re: #68 Karridine

Yeah, "flunk" used to be a negative reflection of one's character, to be avoided.
Thanks to the bad boy counterculture, it became a badge of cool.

To avoid that, liberals simply lowered the standards.

That system gives us Al Franken, Harvard cum laude, B.A. general studies running for senator.
