At least the Democrats' captive constituency will know what hip hop and gangsta rap is all about.

Dembonics. Film at 11.

My 4th grader is doing 6th grade math over the summer. He's also reading most of the stuff on the 7th grade list.

At the age of nine, we're teaching him to figure baseball batting averages in his head. He's also helping me to figure out average velocities of .308 and .223 cartridges while he assists me at the loading bench.

Next weeks book is "The Red Badge Of Courage" and after that we start on "The Chronicles Of Narnia" together.

Mom has been teaching him ratios using recipes for breads and pastries in the kitchen. He's well versed in the life cycles of various microorganisms using the yeasts we use in our home brews.

He can figure the alcohol content of beers and meads all by himself.

Now that's a boy who's receiving a well rounded education. I can't wait till next years parent-teacher day.

Ok, that's it. I am officially launching my Gansta Rap career as "Scoop Doggy Doo"...

'Biggie' Smalls:

Your Tagline: (Rope, tree, liberal. Some assembly required.)

ROFLMAO!

BTW. Sounds like you're doing a great job with the boy.

Pity about that Two Pack Shaker guy. Never met him, although I was acquainted with his brothers Six Pack and Twelve Pack.

I think it's absolutely shameful that he is being denied his rightful place as a literary figure alongside singer/songwriter Charles Manson, environmentalist/author Ted Kaczynski, and culinary innovator Jeffrey Dahmer.

Oh, wait. They are in the same place (well, three of them are, and they're saving Manson a place. A warm place).

d.o.l.

Some lame-brained school officials have decided to ditch the sonnets of Shakespeare for the tripe of Tupac.

Well, stune my beeber.

[Khurkris]

A rather prodigious family.

Other members include 18 pack, 24 pack and now even a 30 pack has been sighted.

[The Scourge of Yazid]

The best joke I've heard as far as Tupac is concerned, goes something like this:

"First he was 2pac, then, after a little surgery (i.e. that unpleasant little incident involving the hail of automatic gunfire back in New York) he was 1pac, and now...well, I guess he's no pac."

Seriously, what kind of fool lays down a track taunting the people who just tried to off him?

Months earlier, no less!

These guys may have the Bloods and the Crips, but NYC is the home of the Mafia.

What's the problem with these stunads? Haven't they ever watched The Pope of Greenwich Village?

[montag813]

which laments: "They could never understand what u set out 2 do instead they chose 2 ridicule u."

Sounds like it was written by Zoolander.

Oy vey, that left a mark!

Frances Arena, manager of curriculum and professional development of the Worcester Public Schools, told me this week that Shakur's book will remain on the list for the foreseeable future because it "heightens awareness of character education" and, more importantly, because it's "popular with the kids."

Who is this person? What are her educational credentials...and most importantly...how did such a blatant idiot end up in this position?? Perfect example of the need to totally reform our schools from the bottom up; not tinker around the edges.

Oh, and since when did "being popular with the kids" count for anything? Maybe they should go with "Rap Appreciation" or "History of the NBA" for 7 hours a day. Good grief!

[The Scourge of Yazid]

I think this discussion is being framed in completely the wrong manner.

Perhaps Tupac was simply a frustrated mathematician at heart.

Pinging Michelle's list.

It took sixteen posts before somebody got around to posting a picture. Come on people. We're better than that.

This waste of space should be required to READ EXCERPTS of this "book," in front of the text APPEARING ON A PROJECTION SCREEN, to the SCHOOL BOARD AND PARENTS.

And "more importantly" is not acceptable grammar. It is "more important."

[Calico Cat]

Whoops--looks like "more importantly" was Michelle's mistake, not our dear, darling Frances'!

[Watery Tart]

My bad. Pet peeve.

But Michelle COULD have been quoting a bit... ;o)
