North Carolina Is Going Out Of Its Mind [View all]
I have a number of very close friends in North Carolina whom I love dearly, so I ask this in all Christian charity.
WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE LIVING, BREATHING, TATTOOED GOD IS GOING ON DOWN THERE?
Whom did you people elect? The people with the brightest bulbs for a nose? The people with the biggest, floppiest shoes? Does every member of the Republican majority in your legislature all arrive at work every morning in the same tiny car? First, we had the We-Can-Establish-A-State-Religion bill, and then we had the Tax-Yo-Mama-If-You-Vote-Obama bill. Caligula would be ashamed to bring his horse before these people for a vote. And now, because everybody went back to the big steaming bowl of stupid for seconds — and thirds — they have decided to put the force of law and the power of the state behind The Palmer Method.
The "Back to Basics" bill would once again make cursive handwriting a part of the curriculum for the state's public elementary schools. The State Board of Education would be expected to make sure that public schools provide instruction so that students create readable documents in cursive by the end of fifth grade and have memorized multiplication tables.
Wonderful. Why not buy a whole bunch of coal stoves and make every elementary school in the state operate with one room?
Wait, forget I said that.
