| Disturbing, but not surprising, story from Horowitz’s blog about what passes for ’enlightened’ education in Brookline, MA., edited for brevity. Snip: "As for indoctrination, the students of the public schools in my town are lectured almost daily about the blunders of George Bush and the social studies course is more of a Bush bashing one (e.g., a question: "What would a Taoist think of Bush?"). In the beginning of the school year we were asked who the president of the United States was and part of the class believed it was Al Gore, they were then brainwashed to jeer whenever the name George Bush is mentioned." |

| #5 Going on vacation tomorrow. Taking a cruise. I'm really looking forward to the inevitable "What the hell's wrong with you people up there?" conversations that immediately follow when people find out where I'm from. |

| #1 TO BAD WE HAVE NO LAW AGAINST IDIOCY- SO LET'S THROW THIS ONE OUT - IN THEIR TERMS. . . John Kerry’s policies are really, really bad What he wants to do is making me so sad Many innocent people could well be killed each day Appeasement is no answer, there is only one way Children of the world, stand up and fight With one voice we say to Osama No!. Our economy is coming back up off off the floor People working again, Screw you Michael Moore. We’ve got to work together and we’ll defeat terror’s lure Let’s all work together and we’ll win this for sure. Children of the world, stand up and fight Against French, Germans, and others unable to know what’s right There weren’t many foolish policies regarding Middle East Until facilitators helped the appeaser numbers increase All of us together, fight as we look ahead. Then we celebrate the day we lop off Osama’s head. |
