Who's messing with your child's learning

This is a good blog about what's going on in classrooms today. 

The Right or Privilege of Instructional Time

If you're a teacher you know this no-win scenario all too well. If you're a parent, it's what you can't image a school would allow to be inflicted upon students in their care, specifically your child. It is the latest policy of a district in a death spiral. No student should be denied instructional time.

The Final Debate: A Desperate President Fabricates Unprecedented Fiction

OK, so I just watched the debate. I can tell you who I think one. But, to be honest I would vote for Romney even if I thought he lost the debate. Obama would have to convince me that he is not a liberal. He did not do that. He would have to convince me that he has America's interests at heart, not his globalists agenda, again he did not. 

What did I see? I saw a President on the run. I saw a challenger with a plan. Every time Obama said Romney didn't have a plan Romney reviewed the five point plan. It seems to me that a sitting President should have the advantage on a foreign policy debate. I think Obama tried to seize that advantage by talking about all the things "we" did. The problem is I have no idea what the heck he's talking about! The secret missions with Israel? Are you flipping kidding me? Then the President kept saying that he stood with Israel. That we have Israel's back. Wow. If you believe that send me $100.00 and I will triple your money. 

I have to say, not since Wild Bill Clinton have a seen someone able to look straight into a camera and just make crap up. There is a big difference between ideas and actions. Obama talks a lot about plans and commissions and bla bla bla, no real action.

And by-the-way, the Osama Bin Laden thing; it was started by Bush and could not of happened without the policies and systems  he put in place , which the candidate Obama was against. If the world respects the US more because of Obama, why do they kill our ambassadors? Why are there rallies calling us the great evil? If you have made such headway with "unprecedented" sanctions why does Ahmadinejad clearly thinks Obama is of no concern? 

Finally, if any network calls it close, it's a Romney win. 

Obama's Retirement Fund, Candy Crowley and the President of France on Flush 'em Friday the 10 19 12 Edition

Happy Flush 'em Friday! It's time to select those and that we think need a good trip down the tidy bowl.
The nominees are:

• Candy Crowley -  no conscience, not guilt.

• The San Francisco Giants - those battery chucking, water hogging, no-cal...

• Francois Hollande, President of France, because he wants to ban homework because it's "not fair" to disadvantaged children who don't have parents that help them with their homework.  Talk about a case of bad whine and cheese.

• The New York Yankees - done. Thank you, Detroit. 

• Smart Cars - you shouldn't be able to drive a car you can throw.

• Pop-up ads - they just annoy me.

• President Obama's hypocritical yet self-righteous retirement fund, which is smaller than Mitt's.

• Clowns - they're just not that funny.

As always, I invite you to nominate some flushees.

What 's Wrong with Taxes on No Tax Tuesday!

The debate: tax or no tax, Obama vs. Romney, Democrats vs. Republicans, or maybe it's the government vs. the people. Put very simply: why should I pay any more taxes or as much as I do? Frankly the return on tax dollar, the need for more tax revenue, limitless taxing nor the redistribution of wealth via taxation are anything more than a sham. Not to mention, I need the money, my money. 

First of all the return for the tax dollar that the American public receives is pathetic at best. For all the talk I hear from Democrats about "investing" in green jobs, education and bla bla bla, it always results in a big waste of my tax dollar. Have you ever looked at the amount per gallon you pay on taxes? And the roads still have potholes the size of a smart car! Where are all the so called green jobs? Green jobs just means my green in someone elses pocket. Can you say Solyndra? 

Secondly, the issue isn't a need for more tax revenue but the need for less spending. I believe I remember President Obama talk about living within our means, as country. Really? The Joe Biden led Democrats haven't even come close to putting out a budget let alone passing one! Budget smudget must be the Democrats mantra. But, president Obama has kept the deficit above a trillion. It not about "investing" it's about cutting the size of government and spending less. 

Lastly, the redistribution of wealth via taxation and government programs is nothing short of evil. The arrogance of anyone who thinks they can decide for anyone else how much they should make and how much they should be allowed to keep is just shy of blasphemy. Who do they think they are, the god they don't believe in? I guess the same arrogant self proclaimed demi-gods who think they should tell you what size soft-drink you can order or how much salt you can have on your food or what kind of Happy Meal  you can order for your child. 

Taxes, are they worth what we "invest"? I definitely don't like the return, I don't think we need more taxes and the redistribution of anyone elses anything is evil. Which leads me to end with this; no government should ask for more than my God. 

MacGregors and the Police

My first slice of golfing came when I was a pre-teen-age lad eyeing my dads set of MacGregors gathering dust in the garage. My younger brother and I ended up at the local 3 par, the Arroyo Seco Golf Course,  hacking away at that little white ball. I was pretty competitive and my left handed brother hit those right handed sticks straight as an arrow almost every time, while I was as seeing how many trees and unsuspecting golfers I could hit as was possible during 18 holes of so-called golf. I can't believe believe they ever let us play again.

Martha Raddatz and blathering Biden on Flush 'em Friday the 10 12 12 Edition

It's time for Flush 'em Friday! 
OK, after that so called debate or rather interrupt fest, these are my nominees. 

• Martha Raddatz - moderator and host of Obama wedding. Media member without a conscience. Save for Joe B's 80 some odd interruptions her half dozen plus would seem bizarre.

• Joe Biden - blathering fool - accomplished fictional fact creator. 

• The media - heard what they wanted to hear. 

• George Stephanopoulos - I guess he thinks being an ignorant rude horses behind makes someone a strong debater. Like I said before, put a skirt on him and give him some pom poms, because he's such a cheerleader for the democratic party.

• Diane Sawyer - whatever she's drinking must be good because she's so giddy. 

• The parent of the kid on my son's little league team who wanted to pay the ump more than the other team did. Yes he sucked. But, it's little league. 

• The Chevy Volt and the US government for buying a bunch of them. Double dumb bail out. 

That's all for now, unless you'd like to add a few...

Flush 'em Friday

Welcome to the 10-5-12 Edition of Flush 'em Friday!
Todays nominees are:

*President Obama- never did a blowhard look like the simpleton he is. No telepromptor, big problem. Having to face your opponent and respond, huge problem.

*John McCain for being such a moderate.

*The second largest school districts school board. Maybe if MG spent more time visiting actual schools than at the buffet table she'd have a clue about education.

*The new flopping penalties by the NBA. How are you going to consistantly tell if a flop is a flop?

*The price of gasoline, food, cell phone data and braces for my kids.

That's all for me. Any one else care to weigh in?
