I take this to mean that if you met your kid's teachers and they said "Is
our children learning", you would have no reservations at all about those
teachers.

True?

No, not hardly. I was observing your statement of voting twice (for a
republican I take it?) And I was merely stating that they had voted
twice (for a democrat?) previously.

Any Bush supporter who voted for Clinton must've done so because they liked
his hair, because they sure as hell didn't understand much of what he said.
On the other hand, here's Bush:

"This process has been drug out a long time, which says to me it's
political."-Discussing the controversy surrounding Attorney General Alberto
Gonzalez, Sofia, Bulgaria, June 11, 2007

In case you're the type who likes to say the president's words must've been
twisted or misunderstood by a reporter, here's a link to the video. His
attempt to undo the efforts of English teachers everywhere can be found at
about 23:18 (23 minutes and 18 seconds):

I'm in the Post Office and talking Red Sox with the Post Master. In
walks this well dressed guy and asks where Woodstock, CT is.

Now on his way into town (and I know this because I saw him drive into
the parking lot) there are twelve signs saying something about
Woodstock. For instance, right at the Putnam/Woodstock town line
there is a HUGE sign waying welcome to Woodstock. He had to pass
Woodstock Plaza - another big sign. He had to drive past the
Woodstock Fair Grounds which you can't miss. The huge Woodstock
Community Bulletin Board which posts things like retirements,
homecomings for troops, town events, etc., named oddly enough, the
Woodstock Community BB, Woodstock Commons. And as he pulls into the
PO parking lot, there is a huge sign that says USPS Woodstock, CT, S.
Woodstock annex.

Now get this. He's looking for NEPS (a local handicapped/rehab place
that does work with the more challenged of lifes's inhabitants) in
which the S. Woodstock PO is located - another big sign right next to
the car.

Here's the funny part. The Post Master looks at me, I looked at him
with this "WTF?" look and the Post Master says "I have no idea". So
the guy thanks him, turns and walks out, gets in his car and leaves!!

Abut two minutes later, he pulls back in, gets out, slams the car door
shut and stomps into NEPS. :)

Right, and that's why I pointed out that I think it's unlikely there was
much voter overlap between the two candidates. If I'm wrong, then this
country's got some very serious problems, and teachers should be allowed to
waterboard kids and "urge them on" with cattle prods.

Well, seeing that our combined high and grade schools have an
enrolement of less than 600 and I know every teacher by name and have
for years, and have attended about every PTA meeting for the last 15
years, and my wife served on the school board for 12 years in which
she was president for four of those years, I would have to answer:


TRUE!

That has to be the funniest claim ever made on FakeFauxFox.

Sure it i, Harry. But I like the phrase. But if it's more suitable to
you, how about PBS's

"All things considered" ?

Read something interesting in this morning paper about the USS Wasp visit

Seems the sailors have a small 'motorcycle gang' called the 'Wasp Raiders'
aboard and bring their bikes along so they can terrorize foreign ports. One
Petty Officer 1st Class has a Harley Davidson 2000 Electra Glide.
Seems more like a Club Med cruise!

From where comes the negativity. Not one of the several comments on the
site was negative, but you use the word 'terrorize'. Contrary to the belief
of a few, most motorcyclists are pretty decent people.

Come on John... you gotta know I'm just funnin' with the 'GI Joes' on this

If I had a suitable bike, I'd volunteer to show them the local scenery.

You'd have NO reservations about a teacher talking like an idiot?
