This administration has endured a media push unlike anything we've seen in our lifetime. The administration has not been able to get in front of anything because there's nothing to get in front of. EVERYTHING IS A SCANDAL IN THE EYES OF THE MEDIA. If there is an attempt to defend the administration they just call it a "cover-up" or a "spin on the truth, which they won't reveal". This guy can't go to the can and flush without some overpaid former Clintonista spinmeister complaining in a breathless news conference that he's destroying the environment.
My hope is that most people will grow weary the media portraying everything as the scandal dujour and ignore it like they did prior to 9/11.
The President has just made a historic nuclear agreement with the largest democracy and it didn't even make the papers here. We lead into the weekend with another old story about Katrina and one of the letters to the editor said that it's Bush's fault her kids are fat because No Child Left Behind is forcing schools to spend more money on core subjects like math, science and english and paying less into subjects like health and music. Like the president is forcing her children to eat twinkies, watch TV and play video games.

Speaking of school curricula, are home-schooled kids obligated to take phys ed?
Perhaps school-based sports are a remnant of the old days, when folks didn't have cars, so the kids needed to get their sports opportunities while they were with other kids at school.
Times have changed. Kids used to take showers at school, after gym. That practice is no longer followed.
I think sports should be supported by localities rather than by schools. That way public- and private-, and home-schooled kids could meet together outside of school, like they do in our local soccer leagues.
School "gym classes" should consist of having the kids walk around the track, doing calisthenics, exercising or whatever else is found to be most beneficial.
The town, township, county should provide the sports/games opportunities.
