It is so ANNOYING when people ABUSE CAPITALIZATION to EMPHASIZE every fourth word.

That's because you teach at a hoity-toity private school. But handicapped students and negroes that wouldn't otherwise be allowed to go to school in some states like yours appreciate the Dept of Ed's enforcement of federal civil rights in ensuring legal access to public education for all.

I don't think DoEd has had to do a thing to "ensuring legal access to public education" in Virginia since it was formed.

The federal government has a role in education, for sure.  The sec of ed has almost nothing to do with that role, however, and the position only exists as a political sop.

Chances are you'll find Trump playing golf.  He does own a golf-club.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He'll be playing golf, but the press won't find him.

Hey, remember when that governor disappeared for two weeks and was found with his mistress in Argentina? It'll be like that, except people will recognize Trump wherever he goes.

Yep.  it led to the creation of the phrase "hiking the Appalachian Trail," which meant committing adultery. 

"What was president Clinton doing there with Monica Lewinsky?"

"Oh, he was hiking the Appalachian Trail."

While that is probably to a certain degree true, during the election I did have the thought: "well, even if trump were to win, he will probably pick the standard republican cabinet secretaries and advisors, who may be able to keep him from getting too far off the rails."

Why the fuck would you think that?  What is with you fucking people?

What do you mean, you people???

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Mark Sanford.  Ruined his career and marriage for a relationship that didn't even work out in the end. :lol:

Then again, the people of SC elected that piece of shit back into the Congress, so I guess he didn't ruin his career after all. :hmm:

The Minsky Moment

Quote from: Zoupa on January 18, 2017, 03:59:08 PM
Lacroix, have you seen DeVos' hearing? It was sad, but mostly for the vast majority of middle class and poor folks that send their kids to public school. She had absolutely no idea what IDEA was for example. Not even a vague notion. She didn't know what it was. You're sabotaging your future. Maybe that's the GOP's point, I dunno.

Second this.  That was horrifying.  Basically she has spent much of her adult life figuring out ways to steer public money to religious schools, even if that means burning the system down.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

How does steering public money to religious schools burn the system down?

It's no longer in good enough shape for a decent photo, but a sticker on a telephone pole I pass on my commute made me think of derspiess, and is in the spirit of this thread. Nothing turns up on Google image search either, but it read:
