No School Left Unslashed

Welp, George's budget is $2.9 trillion with cuts to every major domestic program and an eleven percent boost to defense spending. And the war. And the DOD. And Medicare and Medicaid get cut. And federal spending on education gets cut. No Child Left Behind? In Bushese, it means government rules without the money to back it up. The Democrats are for growing government oversight. The Republicans are for more government control. More government rules. Less government support. Katrina. Iraq. Enron. The debt. Wiretapping. Waterboarding. Habeas corpus? Totalitarianism.

Anyway, things at work are at their all-time low. High-achieving students walked out of classes yesterday because the administration refuses to support the AP program. AP teachers today met with admin. to demand changes in the program. The administration waffled and buckled under pressure but there's always hope and faith in another foul up. More ineptitude. The union's considering a vote of no confidence on the principal. Teachers, good teachers, are leaving the school out of frustration of the disastrous problems at our site. Who cloned Bush and hired him as principal?

Listened in-depth for the first time to a Barry White cd. Wondered if I could get my wife pregnant while listening to it. Even while already pregnant. Damn, it's sexy. Not cheesy or a caricature, that man makes the ground move. Like Aretha but in new ways!

Super Bowl was cluttered with homophobic, sexist and plain, flat stupid commercials which say everything about our culture. And the game sucked.
