The only grades that count are 'H' for 'hired' and 'N' for 'not hired'. And anyone produced by a zany school system as is described in this article is probably going to get an 'N' from my company!

Kids today: lots of self-esteem, but they can't read their graduation diploma.

My niece, God love her, will finish college next spring. She wants to be a forest ranger.

She worked at the Shenendoah National Forest this summer and sent my dad a postcard.

"yada, yada. And I saw 2 black beers last week!"

Somebody better warn the schools that in some professions, getting something nearly right will earn you a big lawsuit.

I guess "N" means "Close but NO cigar"....the Clinton grading system.
