love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn's early my
country 'tis of centuries come and go
and are no more what of it we should worry
in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jingo by gee by gosh by gum
why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-
iful than these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?"
He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water

What is the big fucking deal? The president, who is a former professor, and the leader of our country, wanted to speak to kids about education. It's not like he wanted to hold a prayer session or run a Sunday school gathering. AND, by Jaga, he selfishly wanted to attach lesson plans that would emphasize his points, and ask that school children take ownership of their right to an education, use some skills they've learned, as well as put some equity into their civic education as well. Surely this meant he was proposing another Holocaust. Yes, certainly this is more objectionable than a VP who can't spell "potato" or a President who can't read or speak during a press conference and coined a new phrase called "Bush-isms," a VP candidate who speaks some form of winky, mish-mash of gobbledy-gook syntax and grammar mangled Eng-wasilla-ish. So yeah, I'd not want my child to hear anything the current president, who holds a juris doctorate, has to say.
On to the educated, lyrically dynamic stylings of one Daffy Duck, instead of this wholly partisan attack on our children's minds! If they listen they may end up, I don't know, smart.

Surely, we can get hitched, but I'm no Sue-Ellen. I fancy myself a Victoria Principaled "Pam." Just sayin.

Soon my special child Sarah Palin will deliver a truly maverick rebuttal speech where she speaks of her dreams for an America where any non-elitist Real American, like Trig, can become President. All it takes is a dream. And a prayer. And a hatred of arugula. And children: school is for suckers, homosexuals and elitists. Real hard-core kids drop out, join Blackwater and learn how to kill muslins. And girls, get pregnant already. My armies aren't going to replenish themselves.

Who cares if the majority of kids wont be inspired I'm sure there are a few who were and honestly that counts for something.

Also, this line love-killed me: "There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn't fit in."

He needs to shut up, go do some work, stop having so many photo-ops and sound bytes and do some work. Lead. We hired you for brains and leadership, and neither has been very much in evidence.
