Are you claiming that no comparisons are valid? Isn't that the basis for
a program (a Bush program) called No Child Left Behind? Comparisons are
benchmarks. They are totally valid. The issue is making justifiable
comparisons.


Funny how No Child Left Behind winds up in Kennedy's top 10 legislative
accomplishments.

Kennedy worked closely with President George W. Bush to advance the No
Child Left Behind Act, one of Bush's earliest accomplishments and, critics
say, his last meaningful attempt at bipartisanship.


I might even agree with this. It *was* an accomplishment, but it fell flat
for reasons previously stated.
