TheAnvil 0 #5 January 29, 2004 LMFAO. Andy-1, Vinny-0 in this thread. Yet another Bush-ism. I don't think it's going to be the last. Jeanne, 'tis odd you should criticize the act authored in large part by Ted 'The Bottle' Kennedy. Do you have a Kopechne in-law or something? No Child Left Behind (NCLB) was in large part a HUGE give-away by GWB and really ticked me off quite a bit. It DID get one thing though - mandatory testing. Now that a testing metric is in place, over the next few years we're going to be able to track what school districts are doing better and vice versa. That was the key portion of the act, as far as conservatives are concerned. The rest is just throwing more money at a problem money can't fix. IMO the nation's educational woes can't be fixed by money. I also believe this the responsibility of state and local governments rather than the federal government - and MOSTLY the responsibility of parents.Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Amazon 7 #6 January 29, 2004 QuoteBlame Kennedy, he wrote the bill. Hmmm not what it says.. here http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/01/20020108-1.html And I'm signing this bill here because it's the home of the Chairman, John Boehner. (Applause.) John did a really good job. He shepherded the process. He made sure people showed up for the meetings. He was dogged in his determination to get this bill done. It would not have happened without his leadership. And all four of these members up here need to be proud of the legacy they have left behind. This is a good bill for the American children, and I'm proud to sign it in their presence. (Applause.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #7 January 29, 2004 QuoteYou sure it wasn't a lobbyist? Positive. Technically, Kennedy was a co-author and primary sponsor of the bill in the Senate. Rep. Boehner (OH) was the author in the house, with about 80 co-sponsors.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

quade 4 #9 January 29, 2004 You mean this part? Quote And then, of course, there's Senator Edward Kennedy. And the folks at the Crawford Coffee Shop -- (laughter) -- would be somewhat shocked when I told them I actually like the fellow. (Laughter and applause.) He is a fabulous United States senator. When he's against you, it's tough. When he's with you, it is a great experience. (Applause.) quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #12 January 29, 2004 Quote We all say things we don't really mean.... You mean like this? Quote The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in the 1990s that Saddam Hussein had an advanced nuclear weapons development program, had a design for a nuclear weapon and was working on five different methods of enriching uranium for a bomb. The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production. Saddam Hussein has not credibly explained these activities. He clearly has much to hide. Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/onpolitics/transcripts/bushtext_012803.html Also: http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/01/28/sotu.transcript/ BTW, I had to pull this quote from his 2003 State of the Union Address off of the Washington Post and CNN web sites because, oddly enough, a transcript of it no longer exists on http://www.whitehouse.gov/stateoftheunion/2004/index.html. The White House is trying to scrub the web site clean. The link on the 2003 web page for the State of the Union Address conviently redirects to the transcript of the 2004 speech. Go ahead -- try the link! You'll notice the 2002 speech is intact, but you can ONLY get a summary of the 2003 speech from whitehouse.gov!

I grew up in his district. He nominated me for the Air Force Academy. He always supported me when I needed a letter of recommendation. Too bad I never could vote for him, even when he ran unopposed. I just can't agree with any of his politics. Typical.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #25 January 29, 2004 QuoteMore and better trained teachers who know their subjects is the answer. No more physics classes taught by the football coach. Actually, I believe that the answer is parents who allow teachers to do their jobs. Just watch any of these television shows with kids on it. American Idol, for example, where the kid truly sucks, but the parent will defend the kid and call the judges idiots. If a teacher fails a kid, or disciplines a kid, the asshole parent will confront. Thus, teachers CANNOT do their jobs. Thank you, Great Society. Teachers do the best they can, but the families screw the kids forever. In fact, I'd like to see laws scaled back, or passed, to grant immunity to school teachers from lawsuits for a number of things. p.s. I'd love to have Marv Levy be my English Professor. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
