The people at the Times think somebody still cares about their opinions. They have no credibility, no reliable sources within the Administration, and have been on the losing side of every major issue in the past forty years. Their circulation declines and ad revenues are down. Other than that, they're doing just fine.

What? Paige resigned?

Say it isn't so!

I don't remember reading in Article I Section 8 of the Constitution about the federal government's enumerated power to control education.

Oh ya, I forgot the Constitution doesn't mean what it says.

Let the legacy media whine about the Cabinet changes. I'd like to see a more conservative Cabinet and course set for the country's direction over the next four years. If it gets libs angrier at Bush, I will sleep better at night for a long time. :)

"Unless the department changes course quickly, it will miss the opportunity to ensure that the states comply with the all-important requirement for every classroom to have a highly qualified teacher."

How's that? Isn't the NEA ensuring that every teacher is highly qualified already? /sarcasm

She's the host of Trading Spaces, Paige Davis.

One particular gripe I want to register here is the insistance of the Legacy Media to refer to the President as "Mr." Bush. This subtle, yet juvenile disrespect is pathetic.

Rod Paige is a stand-up guy who is not afraid to fight for what he believes is right, and he's not afraid to speak his mind. I will miss him. And GOOD for him for his fight for vouchers.

Another cabinet member I will miss is Don Evans. He was always such a positive force; articulated the President's positions in such an optimistic manner, and has a beautiful smile and demeanor. It says a lot about the President that he can count such a man as his friend.

You like that pic, you should see her in action in NY at a fundraiser where she flipped a little more than just her keys...

The NY Post ran them, I think.

Hello there, onyx. Well, we could have said the same about almost any major big city paper. It's just that the Times is the Queen Bee. I am enjoying its slow, painful death immensely.

Yes, of course. The NEA is for the children. They say so all the time.

Yep. A lot of glee going around since November 2!! The first day of the rest of our lives, or something like that.

Among the people most mentioned as a possible successor for Dr. Paige is Margaret Spellings

We may be stuck with her ...... goodness knows I hope not.

Two utterly useless political hacks that I really hope get cashiered this time around are Minetta (Transportation - seeing to it that no pilot is allowed to take their fingernail file on board and that no Arab is ever offended) and Ridge (Homeland Crayolla Color-Code Panic Scale).

Minetta's infliction of the law of PC to our Nation's aviation industry has placed us all at far greated risk IMHO, and terrorists will surely exploit it, given time.
