I don't see anything wrong with learning CPR, or lifesaving (swimming), or courses on nutrition andRead More child-raising. Lots of courses are good things. What I don't think is a good thing, is having state legislators passing bills on this level of detail. State legislatures get very political, and then want to legislate things like creationism (intelligent design) or ban the science behind evolution. Political hacks should not be determining the school curriculum, they are not actually the most knowledgeable people with respect to academics. They are politicians; that does not make them experts on anything in particular except winning elections.

I read somewhere on Facebook that people were getting him confused with Hugo Chavez. Por favor...

I don't think Google does much in the way of religious doodles -- Passover, Ramadan, etc. so why theRead More flack? The Chavez holiday coincided with Easter, but I suspect that those who are complaining would have found another reason to criticize Google if the Chavez birthday had fallen on a day other than Easter and the company had run the doodle.

When I was in 8th grade, April Fools Day happened to land on the day I came back from the beach withRead More my friends after spring break. I got this REALLY good fake belly button ring to freak out my dad. Well, he took one look at it--completely unaware it was fake--and pulled it out. Needless to say, I never got anything pierced for real.

I am completely familiar with state owned aircraft and how they are to be used. This was aRead More completely legitimate use of the state aircraft, there is simply no real argument against its use. Only those who support the socialized medicine represented by Obamacare or a wide variety of curmudgeons think that this government witness should have been privately funded.

Kat, this is just pathetic. You disagree with nullification (and therefore support the PPACA) butRead More can't rationally debate the merits, so you latch on to this ridiculous argument. The legislature is in the business of making laws. There are expenses in that business. In my perfect world, there wouldn't be a legislature, but in this world there is and they need to have expert input into their process or else they will just be flying blind, and we've seen how badly that turns out.
