receive, turn the other sheik, and the golden rule.... "He who has the gold, rules."

3. Holy Cow
http://www.ignitelearning.com/

Ignite Learning looks like a big fat cow pie.
Any school who would buy into that needs to go back to school.

4. I believe this was an attempt to circumvent the IRS limitation of
gifting $11,000 annually per child. By donating the money to Katrina, it's probably tax-deductible. By earmarking the money go to Neil's company, he indirectly benefits from the funds. By the company getting the extra cash, either Neil gets the benefit of increased stock value and/or legal embezzlement (if it's done just so).

7. All they want to teach our children is how to be obediant, pliant slaves
so that we may better serve the whims of future Emperors Jeb and George P. Bush (not to mention whatever other montsrous, nanny-murdering children are even now being prepared for the throne).

In the end, that is all they want. It is all they desire. A return to the Good Old Days when the Nobodies knew their place.

Compared to what is coming, and probably soon, THESE are the good old days.

8. Yes, what exactly (repost) >>>
We report. You decide. (Really, I'm not quite believing this one myself. So if someone's got more benign take...)

Looks like Professor Neil's hot new product was named after Biggity Barb Herself. It's called The Cow. When you click on The Cow you get a happy cartoon demo of its magic.

However, if you watch closely (pg. 4 of 7) you might just catch what the kartoon kiddies are being taught.They appear to be learning about panhandlers, yes beggars (hand out, 5 o'clock shadow, high collar) of all things. And why?

So that they can understand the essence of Economy of Central America!




I wonder if Stevie T. focussed on the godless heathens who didn't have the moral fiber to stave off decades of violent colonization, carpetbagging capitalists, and World Bank bustouts.
