GOV. BUSH: I don't watch The West Wing.

Good answer from Gov. Bush about the West Wing. A nice interview.

Hi, Please forgive any double-bump, as I just thought you might enjoy reading this Part 16. :)

[summer]

I can't recall if I pinged you here or not! :)

[Truth Addict]

Yes, you pinged me (twice), and I was derelict in not bumping it, so I will do it now, It's a great interview and shows the promising future of some of our young people here in the Sunshine State.

[summer]

LOL...you were not "derelict" -- I have just been going from list to list, so sometimes I unintentionally bump people twice. Thanks for the bump! :)

[okimhere]

bttt THANKS for the ping, summer.

Say what you are going to do and do what you said you would do. Don't veer from principle. Be honest with yourself. Show humility. Fight hard but fight fair.

Excellent questions from Autumn, and answers that I like a lot. Bookmarked for later review.

[summer]

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out this thread, okimhere! And, I agree with you -- excellent questions here from young Autumn.

Very nice to hear from you again. :)

Bump...bump...MUD

BTW...if ya talk to Jeb anytime soon, please ask him to tell his bro not to back off on America's pursuit of the Axis of Evil!! Sounds like some in Dubyuh's Administration are gettin' a bit weak-kneed.

[summer]

Thanks for the bump, MS! For the record, I have never met nor spoken to Gov. Bush -- however, I have emailed him in the past, and he has responded, just as he does with thousands of other citizens. If you like, you can email him and express your concern: jeb@jeb.org Thanks again for taking the time to check out this thread. I appreciate your comments here! :)

I meant to write: ...I have never never met nor spoken with Gov. Bush.... ["to" was incorrect; "with" is correct]

"jeb@jeb.org"

Thank you, my FRiend, I shall contact the man I consider to be within a small handfull of GOP candidates likely to win the '08 nomination for POTUS...MUD

[summer]

My pleasure. PS - Tell him "summer" said hello, and send him this thread! :)

While we are on the subject of writing, I have an impertinent question. How is it that FCAT scores can show 80% proficiency in writing at third grade level but only 20% on reading. Can the children not read what they write? How then dfoes this school end up being a C school? ( a school in Palm Beach county)

Bumping this great thread to the top. The St. Pete Times has a staff of teens who are movie critics and political editors. Say what you will about the St. Pete paper but, their young movie critic was on David Letterman recently. He's a hometown treasure and has a bright future in the media. BTTT

Re your post #178 - Claire, you are an educator with a PhD. So, you tell me your theory on this! :)
