I support Secretary Paige

Ditto.

[an amused spectator]

Kerry explained, 'Terrorists hold hostages, and the Republicans are holding the government hostage'...

So what we're saying is "Terrorists hold hostages, and the NEA is holding our children hostage..."

Meant to ping you to this earlier, but just realized I did not.

How dastardly of him to tell the truth out loud!

[chiller]

It cracks me up, actually, that Paige would have the guts to nail the NEA like this. It's a beeeeauuutiful thing, even if he tempered it a little, later.

It's an exageration, to be sure, but some of what's going on in public education can't be that different from the madras (sp?). They're both basically preaching the overthrow of the US system.

Big golf in T-town this week...any signs of good weather? We've been soaked lately in Phoenix, with more to come.

Sec. Paige

He's right. They are. Terrorists. Of teh most vulnerable among us too.
