UNBELIEVABLE!
Interesting they put so much effort into getting their kids into Carson Elementary. GreatSchools only rates it 3/10. Granted, more is involved than in choosing a school, but it’s not as if this is a great catch.
Corruption in Chicago?
I’m shocked. SHOCKED!
and DeLonghi run $2600-$3700.
Gee, I wounder who was running this school system? Hmmmmmm....
Jiminy.
I have to wonder if the machines were intended for vocational training to turn out barristas.
Would be a huge savings for the kids to get the training they need without first getting their BAs in English and Art History.
Something along the lines of: *You want fries with that?
its the color of 0.
Reminds me of this classic exchange from M*A*S*H:
Henry Blake: Captain Sloan here is with supply.
Captain Sloan: More accurately, I’m with the 375th Q. M. H. Q., COMSEAPAC, SEOULSEC REPDEP.
Hawkeye: Maybe I’ll have that drink.
Captain Sloan: Now, the business at hand is an incubator, that is if my lieutenant understood what your colonel said you captains want.
Hawkeye: Right.
Trapper: And we need one as soon as possible.
Captain Sloan: Well, let’s see what the good book says.
Hawkeye: The good book?
Captain Sloan: The Manual of Supply and Requisition.
Hawkeye: MANSUPREQ.
Captain Sloan: Um, “inhalator, indicator, innoculator, infusilator - “ Here it is: 437 - stroke - R2, incubator.
Henry Blake: Thar she blows!
Captain Sloan: “Device for developing bacterial cultures at constant suitable temperatures.” Uh-huh. I see. That certainly makes sense. You can’t have one.
Hawkeye: We’re not asking for a jukebox or a pizza oven!
Captain Sloan: Oh, I can let you have one of those.
Henry Blake: No kidding! That would be great on movie nights! You got any of those pizza requisition forms?
Captain Sloan: [referring to a generic Army requisition form] Oh, just use one of those standard S-1798s and write in “pizza” where it says “machine gun.”
Sol SternObama's Real Bill Ayers Problem
The ex-Weatherman is now a radical educator with influence.
23 April 2008Barack Obama complains that he’s been unfairly attacked for a casual political and social relationship with his neighbor, former Weatherman Bill Ayers. Obama has a point. In the ultraliberal Hyde Park community where the presidential candidate first earned his political spurs, Ayers is widely regarded as a member in good standing of the city’s civic establishment, not an unrepentant domestic terrorist. But Obama and his critics are arguing about the wrong moral question. The more pressing issue is not the damage done by the Weather Underground 40 years ago, but the far greater harm inflicted on the nation’s schoolchildren by the political and educational movement in which Ayers plays a leading role today.
A Chicago native son, Ayers first went into combat with his Weatherman comrades during the “Days of Rage” in 1969, smashing storefront windows along the city’s Magnificent Mile and assaulting police officers and city officials. Chicago’s mayor at the time was the Democratic boss of bosses, Richard J. Daley. The city’s current mayor, Richard M. Daley, has employed Ayers as a teacher trainer for the public schools and consulted him on the city’s education-reform plans. Obama’s supporters can reasonably ask: If Daley fils can forgive Ayers for his past violence, why should Obama’s less consequential contacts with Ayers be a political disqualification? It’s hard to disagree. Chicago’s liberals have chosen to define deviancy down in Ayers’s case, and Obama can’t be blamed for that.
What he can be blamed for is not acknowledging that his neighbor has a political agenda that, if successful, would make it impossible to lift academic achievement for disadvantaged children. As I have shown elsewhere in City Journal, Ayers’s politics have hardly changed since his Weatherman days. He still boasts about working full-time to bring down American capitalism and imperialism. This time, however, he does it from his tenured perch as Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Instead of planting bombs in public buildings, Ayers now works to indoctrinate America’s future teachers in the revolutionary cause, urging them to pass on the lessons to their public school students...

Funny! It is just so depressing that these are the people who will be in charge of our national education system for the next 4 years.
And now Arnie Duncan goes from running Chicago schools to N0bama’s nominee for Secretary of Education.
From the Windy City to the Trendy City.
I'd say they spent $67,000 to much. I wonder if they bought them from the company where Michelle Obama works.
