The previously overlooked award ceremonies conducted while "NObel agonized" have just been
discovered under stacks of congratulatory letters
from Keith Olberman.

Obama wins hands down in two catagories while
pontificating. These are the Rush Limbaugh golden
mike and Billy Jean King Golden Racquet award.

He was nominated for both when it was noted that he not only appeared in front of the microphone more than Rush (three hours a day) but by turning down the sound he appears to be watching a match at Wimbledon!

So said my sister who taught for more than 30 years and by substituting, added more years than that. She had some astute observations about education. Quote: The teaching profession was a professional dicipline on the order of the American Medical Association until in the 60's when it was turned into just another Trade Union! She also said she could observe the children riding in the shopping carts in the market and tell you which would be
a problem in school but that is a subject for another discussion.

My family is replete with educators including
no less than 5 PHDs, all working for universities, most so blisfully liberal academics that they think, like todays school children, that the food comes from the market and the...

Even after graduating Yale Law, Hillary (the smartest woman in the world)failed to pass the DC Bar exam. My point is, just getting a sheepskin, even from "on high" should not be the end of qualification verification. Teachers should be tested vigorously in each subject they are to teach and should have either a major or a minor in the subject.

This should apply to teachers in grade levels
5 through 12, saving those better teachers for the more difficult levels of learning. A graduate of any decent BA program and in truth
any really good junior college should have no problem with teaching anything the lower grades
are expected to master. But again, the teacher should pass the "Bar for that level also.

Everyone has...

Barnum is supposed to have said "There's A Sucker Born Every Minute". I say, most of them lived! Politicians, Socialists and open border advocates (assisted by the teachers unions: Now thats a bit of iroiny for you)are accellerating our country's freefall into ignorance. The Socialists' policies provide the "free bread" while the "Virtual and Twitter" supply the distracting "Carnival".

Look out for the arrival of the Goths!

If they really didn't understand the problem, they shouldn't have been "preaching" like they did. My personal take is they were intending to "lie" just as the Clinton Parrots like George Stephanopolous and James Carvill cried
"the Worst Economy In 50 Years when the unemployment rate was 6%. No one seems to think that people who lie to you during the campaign do so bcause they are "liars" and will
"lie when in office" No, they are always "surprised"!!!!!!!!

My brother was in India during one of their famines which occurred some 70 years ago. His comment was "any American farmer with one hand tied behind his back could solve the immediate problem; Eat Those Cows!
