    Nope.
    The US DOE did not invent energy research. Valuable research was going on long before the DOE was created.
    Public education has traditionally been a local endeavor. A Federal Dept of Education is a clear overstepping of Federal authority into local matters. Good riddance. Public education will continue in all districts of all 50 states with or without the Dept of Education.

  12. Frank Zappa had incredible foresight on Facebook: Your Personal Data is a Trade Secret · · Score: 2

  22. "I'm Pooping" on New Twitter-Based Hedge Fund Beats the Stock Market · · Score: 1

    I wonder what trades would be made based on that tweet...

  23. Anonymous clothes? on Collar-Bomber Tracked By Gmail Accesses · · Score: 5, Funny

    You mean a business suit and a Guy Fawkes mask?

  24. I'll bet they have an opinion on Microsoft Exec Responds To the Google-Motorola Deal · · Score: 1
