That video was epic. Bush, in my book, has raised from notch 0, to 2. The first was when he passed a bill allowing Park Rangers to designate mountain bike trails, and not the government, making MORE trails accessable to the bikes. This was the 2nd. I dont care who you are, he dodged that shoe like a pro. That could have been JB Nidday, Tom Burress, Clinton, Tony Blair, it doesnt matter. He dodges that like a pro.
The only way that video would have been better is if he caught the shoe, or if he through it back. /both In other news, My brother and I had another way to make this better. If the speech was in an outdoor snowy environment, and someone through a snow ball at him, and he threw one back, he would have started a new war. This Snow ball fight would bring many questions. Will the UN step in? Will France Surrender? Who will come to our aid? Welcome to the cult of JVL drink the koolaid or be banned. |

Comrade,
That's Ronny Raygun and the lying Rush Limbolaw republicans your talking about (not Dubya). You know the guys that created the private sector part of the global economic mess we're in now. And all the lying Democrats that voted for the war and currupted the gubment part of the deepening global recession with no end yet in sight. The NeoCon's (Dubya's crew) told us EXACTLY who they were before he got elected. Remember the "Project for the New American Century"? And they didn't do it alone either. Now they're on the outs with everybody... the fall guys. But then, like Cheney says,"So what!" They did what they said they would do. Our President is not a King... never has been. The truth is that when 911 happened the NeoCon's were the only ones with a Plan on the the table. And EVERYONE deferred to them. (Well... everyone except you and me.) Like I always say: "Never trust a Bank, an Insurance Company, or a Politician." As for our next President 33 days from now, I will celebrate when "Hope" is extended to the Unborn Child.

Well heäs already named as his Education Kahuna the LAWYER who is in charge of the Chicago School District.
A fucking lawyer. Greg Palast has written about this here: Obama's "Way-to-Go, Brownie!" Moment? by Greg Palast I will not pick a bad Secretary of Education for the Huffington Post Has Barack Obama forgotten, "Way-to-go, Brownie"? Michael Brown was that guy from the Arabian Horse Association appointed by George Bush to run the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Brownie, not knowing the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain from the south end of a horse, let New Orleans drown. Bush's response was to give his buddy Brownie a "way to go!" thumbs up. We thought Obama would go a very different way. You'd think the studious Senator from Illinois would avoid repeating the Bush regime's horror show of unqualified appointments, of picking politicos over professionals. But here we go again. Trial balloons lofted in the Washington Post suggest President-elect Obama is about to select Joel Klein as Secretary of Education. If not Klein, then draft-choice number two is Arne Duncan, Obama's backyard basketball buddy in Chicago. Say it ain't so, President O. Let's begin with Joel Klein. Klein is a top notch anti-trust lawyer. What he isn't is an educator. Klein is as qualified to run the Department of Education as Dick Cheney is to dance in Swan Lake. While I've never seen Cheney in a tutu, I have seen Klein fumble about the stage as Chancellor of the New York City school system. Klein, who lacks even six minutes experience in the field, was handed management of New York's schools by that political Jack-in-the-Box, Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The billionaire mayor is one of those businessmen-turned-politicians who think lawyers and speculators can make school districts operate like businesses. Klein has indeed run city schools like a business - if the business is General Motors. Klein has flopped. Half the city's kids don't graduate. Klein is out of control. Not knowing a damn thing about education, rather than rely on those who actually work in the field (only two of his two dozen deputies have degrees in education), Klein pays high-priced consultants to tell him what to do. He's blown a third of a billion dollars on consultant "accountability" projects plus $80 million for an IBM computer data storage system that doesn't work. What the heck was the $80 million junk computer software for? Testing. Klein is test crazy. He has swallowed hook, line and sinker George Bush's idea that testing students can replace teaching them. The madly expensive testing program and consultant-fee spree are paid for by yanking teachers from the classroom. Ironically, though not surprisingly, test scores under Klein have flat-lined. Scores would have fallen lower, notes author Jane Hirschmann, but Klein "moved the cut line," that is, lowered the level required to pass. In other words, Klein cheats on the tests. Nevertheless, media poobahs have fallen in love with Klein, especially Republican pundits. The New York Times' David Brooks is championing Klein, hoping that media hype for Klein will push Obama to keep Bush schools policies in place, trumping the electorate's choice for change. Brooks and other Republicans (hey, didn't those guys lose?) are pushing Klein as a way for Obama to prove he can reach across the aisle to Republicans like Bloomberg. (Oh yes, Bloomberg's no longer in the GOP, having jumped from the party this year when the brand name went sour.) Choosing Klein, says Brooks, would display Obama's independence from the teacher's union. But after years of Bush kicking teachers in the teeth, appointing a Bush acolyte like Klein would not indicate independence from teachers but their betrayal. Hoops versus Hope The anti-union establishment has a second stringer on the bench waiting in case Klein is nixed: Arne Duncan. Duncan, another lawyer playing at education, was appointed by Chicago's Boss Daley to head that city's train-wreck of a school system. Think of Duncan as "Klein Lite." What's Duncan's connection to the President-elect? Duncan was once captain of Harvard's basketball team and still plays backyard round-ball with his Hyde Park neighbor Obama. But Michelle has put a limit on their friendship: Obama was one of the only state senators from Chicago to refuse to send his children into Duncan's public schools. My information is that the Obamas sent their daughters to the elite Laboratory School where Klein-Duncan teach-to-the-test pedagogy is dismissed as damaging and nutty. Mr. Obama, if you can't trust your kids to Arne Duncan, why hand him ours? Lawyer Duncan is proud to have raised test scores by firing every teacher in low-scoring schools. Which schools? There's Collins High in the Lawndale ghetto with children from homeless shelters and drug-poisoned 'hoods. They don't do well on tests. So Chicago fired all the teachers. They brought in new ones - then fired all of them too: the teachers' reward for volunteering to work in a poor neighborhood. It's no coincidence that the nation's worst school systems are run by non-experts like Klein and Duncan. Obama certainly knows this. I know he knows because he's chosen, as head of his Education Department transition team, one of the most highly respected educators in the United States: Professor Linda Darling-Hammond of Stanford University. So here we have the ludicrous scene of the President-elect asking this recognized authority, Dr. Darling-Hammond, to vet the qualifications of amateurs Klein and Duncan. It's as if Obama were to ask Michael Jordan, "Say, you wouldn't happen to know anyone who can play basketball, would you?" Classroom Class War It's not just Klein's and Duncan's empty credentials which scare me: it's the ill philosophy behind the Bush-brand education theories they promote. "Teach-to-the-test" (which goes under such pre-packaged teaching brands as "Success for All" forces teachers to limit classroom time to pounding in rote low-end skills, easily measured on standardized tests. The transparent purpose is to create the future class of worker-drones. Add in some computer training and - voila! - millions trained on the cheap to function, not think. Analytical thinking skills, creative skills, questioning skills will be left to the privileged at the Laboratory School and Phillips Andover Academy. We hope for better from the daddy of Sasha and Malia. Educationally, the world is swamping us. The economic and social levees are bursting. We cannot afford another Way-to-go Brownie in charge of rescuing our children. **************** Greg Palast is the father of school-aged twins and the author of, "No Child's Behind Left," included in his New York Times bestseller, Armed Madhouse.

What you promote makes no sense. Abstinence first doesn't work and is dumb. Birth control should be the first defense and I personally would never have an abortion, but one of the biggest problems in this country stem from the inequity of birth rate between the educated and the ignorant.
