Bush's radio address was about how wonderful No Child Left Behind has been. Sure, the idea that federal funding for education should be dependent of student progress is a fine one. However the law falls apart when you take into consideration the ridicules and convoluted way that annual yearly progress is measured: -kids are compared against last year's kids of that grade instead measuring the same kids over time -Sp. Ed. kids (including the moderately mentally retarded) are counted as not just a seperate sub-group while being counted with the general population, which is also a sub-group (???) -writing tests are often used to measure reading comprehension -each state decides for itself what constitutes levels of proficiency The Congress we elect next month will be in office when this law is up for reauthorization next year. We need to elect some people who can see through the law's slogans and make the law's method of measuring progress logical.

I was going to make a similar comment about the balls on the writers. Goddamn that was an incredible episode.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/06/fol...lout/index.html To summarize: "Hey, did you guys know about this scandal we've been trying to cover up?" "Its okay to defend Hastert for covering up something when nobody called for Tip O'Neill's resignation over something O'Neil never tried to cover up that happened before most of us even worked here."

You guys are just keeping the quoting going so you can see my girl over and over.

You need to note the following differences, though: -the lawsuit that started the mess was brought about only after a right-wing magazine published a report that said Jones had an affair with Bill Clinton. -Republicans were giving free legal counsel to Paula Jones, and one of her lawyers was Ann Coulter. -Monica Lewinsky never claimed Clinton sexually harrassed her, so having the Paula Jones legal team questioning either her or him about their affair served no purpose except to potentially entrap him in a perjury charge. -Clinton was impeached in a mostly partisan vote during a lame duck Congress following an election where the Republicans had lost a substantial number of seats. -Lewinsky was of legal age.

I've heard Gerry Studds mentioned more in the last 24 hours than I have in the last 24 years.

Here's how Congress feels about Iraq, apparently... http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/04/con...q.ap/index.html

I miss your hot girl shurgging picture.

Can you elaborate? What happened exactly?

I'll repeat what someone said in another thread (I think it was Invader3K): If the Democrats can't win this election, they might as well give up. The Congress has record low approval ratings, support for the Republican agenda has evaporated, reports continue to surface reinforcing the idea that the Iraq War (an issue they're actually trying to campaign on) was a horrible idea, the Majority Leader resigned because of corruption charges, and the Speaker is about to resign because he helped cover up a sex scandal.

You might be thinking of CBS's Mike Wallace, who is Chris Wallace's father.

Republicans are playing this Foley thing as "At least we resign when we get caught," as if doing things that are wrong enough to force you out of office is some sort of badge of honor. http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/04/has...oley/index.html

I saw the shit out of it.

"I'm very outgoing if you get to know me."

Damn, I sure hope there's somebody else here with the mutant power to shoot guns.

Hannity lied on air and said Lewinsky was 19 when the affair happened, so he could falsely claim she was still just a teenager when at the time.

Factcheck.org weighs in on this story: http://factcheck.org/article444.html#

Sean Hannity said this was just like the Lewinsky Scandal because Monica was a teenage intern, similar to the boys Foley was trying to pick up on.

In that case, the second season would last about 3 episodes before being cancelled.

This is fucking sick.

from this morning's paper: credit: The Kansas City Star, Oct. 3rd, 2006 credit: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15116366/ And Finally... credit: http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/03/woo...rice/index.html To summarize: Article 1 has Rice saying she didn't remember being at the meeting. Article 2 confirms Rice as being at the meeting. Article 3 has Rice disputing what was said at the meeting which she doesn't actually remember going to.

I had no idea such a thing even existed.

Its also a song about a guy who is made out of metal and blows stuff up. No, that's nothing like the comics character AT ALL. I was looking to the deeper meaning. Yeah, you might want to stop doing that.
