First: There are tons of now unfunded Federal mandates that schools have to meet. That funding is becoming less and less.

(Full Disclosure: Jason is in my immediate group, and we meet about once a month - nice guy.) It's simple: every Californian should be outraged at how the Republican party and it's Federal mandates have screwed us. First, Enron (and the cover-up). Then, unfunded Federal mandates. Then, instituting open border policies WITH more unfunded Federal mandates to secure them. Then, there was the recall. Then, the Special Election. Add to it the Slash-and-Burn job that Jeb Bush's former budget secretary pulled under the current Schwarzeneggar administration.

Add all of THAT to the litany of unethical Constitution-side-stepping, and yeah, I can kinda see how a dude would be upset.

The only kicker is, we (Jason and I) live in the Bay Area; one of the most Liberal places in the U.S. if not the World. If you're gonna take umbrage with a man's obsession, it might be on the point that in his immediate area, he's preaching to the converted. Dunno.

 

Let's make Bush president of Iraq and call it even.

"The Attorney General of the United States, Alberto Gonzalez testified before the senate about the domestic spying program. But first there was a big fight about whether or not to place him under oath. Ultimately they decided not to place him under oath. See, baseball players, they have to be under oath. But the attorney general, no." --Jay Leno

 

 

“In Washington, the Pentagon announced plans to build new long-range weapons as a deterrent to China. Unfortunately, we don't have any factories left in this country, so the weapons will be built in China.” -- Jay Leno
