And has been so every since the NEA bribed and conned every state legislature to require an "education" degree to get a teacher certification. In the early 70's my high school annual listed each teachers degree. They had at least a bachelors in the subject being taught. The listing ended in 74, wonder what they are hiding? When a bachelors in "education" became the primary focus, test scores started dropping. All any College of Education is at any University is the NEA's indoctrination school for left wing teaching.
They don't want to be controlled more than they are? They don't want their pension fund to spent on political campaigns? They would rather get promoted for their work, competence, and merit than time in a union? There are many reasons not to join a union. Most are more corrupt than the politicians.
The whole point of the 75% comment was to point out that Obama's "jobs" are paybacks for the union support only. Not for most citizens of this country.
Where is there mass transit that works in the U. S.? Boston to Washington corridor, Chicago, LA and Frisco. That's about it. Most people haven't seen it and therefore won't trust it. If it is cheaper and more convenient that flying or driving medium distances, it might have a chance. If it can be built. Add in that it's another massive spending program that there is no money to pay for and this idea just won't fly.
That is exactly what "Cap & Trade" (or Crap & Trap) is all about. Using the resulting tax to bankrupt the coal fired power plants.
Of course the whole shell game with so called "carbon credits" is the same as saying "It's OK if I pee in your pool because I filtered the water in your toilet tank." That is what this foolishness is about, an illusion.
Whoever the protocol officer is at the White House needs to fired. These lame "gifts" are making us look even more shallow and stupid than most of Europe already thinks.
True, very true. There are fewer signs of actual logic and reason in Sacramento than there are in Washington. Common sense has ceased to exist in either location in detectable quantities.

Of course the fact that Dr. Clyde Tombaugh lived down the street when I was a Kid may give me a bias. I heard his talk on discovering Pluto more times than I can count.
What about those of us that got fed up with the sleezy billing practices of Time Warner and now use DirectTV? I wouldn't pay a cable company a penny for anything.
Lets make sure they guarantee perpetual employment for themselves and their peers by writing every law so that a normal person has to hire a lawyer to translate it. Does anyone else see a conflict of interest here?
The Constitution doesn't require a lawyer to translate it, only a bit of average High School education. See the point?
Be serious, they haven't come to grips that the "Savior" is just a Chicago politician, with all the corruption that is part of that phrase.
Until everyone in Washington is replaced in 3 election cycles (for the whole Senate) there will be no change. Try replacing them with someone who has actually done productive work, not lawyers.

The fact that temperature has been dropping for a decade doesn't change the warming theory?

The expense of the filters and other technology used for cleaning stack gasses has been born by the industry, not the Govt.
Anything that even hints at raising utility bills by 50% in this economy is moronic at best.
Don't forget that under this administration the jobs will be union only. Forget about the 75% of workers that don't belong to one.

Ray, I hope you are having fun with this. The irony is just delicious.
The Iraqis hung him and he was tried in an Iraqi court under Iraqi law. The U. S. provided guards and security only.

It should take a 3 inch diameter nozzle to give Balmer a $1 Billion enema right?
Compared to all NBC affiliates, this has some grains of truth.

Googles April fools joke was exposed on CNN HLN around 6:20AM.
Or that was HLN's April Fools joke, Whichever.
This is how Citigroup is going to spend OUR bailout money.
Cue the lynch mob.

Is there anyone in Washington that is not bought and paid for? I doubt it seriously! Both parties are paid for by the same people.

The only cookie that shows when I go online is the old DoubleClick optout one. Wonder if the slimey bastards still honor it?

Makes it easier to report violaters of the do not call list. Anything that causes trouble for telemaketwits is a very good thing!
