REPUBLICAN IDIOT

Monday, October 29, 2007 By Catherine Donaldson-Evansfox news
Parents in Connecticut might be the ones getting the report cards if a proposed plan makes the grade at a Manchester public school district.

Steven Edwards, a Republican member of the Manchester Board of Education who’s up for re-election Nov. 6, wants parents to be evaluated on a handful of what he says are objective measures — including whether their children have done the homework and eaten a good breakfast.

"I tried to design something modest [measuring] things that virtually everybody would agree parents should do to help their kids," Edwards said. "We don't have our staff making any subjective evaluations."

The idea has angered parents, and the local PTA vows to fight the plan.

This is one of the worst ideas I have ever heard. Teachers can barely take care of themselves yet they are going to be grading parents? I can not believe that it is a Republican that is pushing this through.

Weekend Notes

1. Craig's visit has come and gone. A few hours spread out over a couple of days are not enough to get caught up after 2 years but we had a good time. He took full advantage of our weak dollar and is going to need another suitcase to haul his loot back home. Hopefully it doesn't take 2 years for him to visit again.
2. The BBQ Saturday Night went off without a hitch and the food turned out better than I expected especially considering my attentions were split. I believe I am one batch of Ribs away before I can consider them competition ready. The trick is getting them out of the smoke and into the foil at just the right time.
3. My sister Wendy made some great caramel apples that might of been the most unhealthy food item I have ever seen. You had to eat through 3 layers of sugar before you took your first bite of apple.
4. Boston won the World Series! Living in KC you have to have other teams to cheer for and being a Celtics fan my whole life I have always been a fan of all teams Boston (especially since I hate all teams in NY and Cali).
5. I am starting to believe that the Nintendo Wii doesn't exist. Why Nintendo has upped production to meet demand is beyond me. This is their one last chance to recapture a bulk share of the gaming market and yet you can't find one to buy.
6. Pizza Shoppee has now moved into my top 3 Pizza Places in town.
7. I will be spending most of my work week finalizing my Christmas list. Remember when these things were due at Thanksgiving? We haven't even carved pumpkins for Halloween yet and I am working on this thing.
8. Why is it that Time Warner Cable boxes no longer support the HDMI input? I hate Time Warner.
9. My brother and sister are in a race to get my old BROKEN recliner. I hope they plan on moving out before Thanksgiving because that thing has to go before we get our Christmas tree.
10. Kerry was sick all weekend. I am writing this down because she always tells me that she NEVER gets sick. I think I nursed her back to health yesterday because she felt "better" today.

FINALLY A REASON TO LIKE THE FRENCH

I laughed when I saw the shocked look on the interviewers face when he left. The journalist in this country feel like they are above everyone in the world and have a holier than thou attitude. The new leader of France is aware of this and the liberal bias that our journalist have and basically told her to F off. Had this leader of been antiamerican then they would of treated that interview completely different.

DEMOCRATS SHORTEN THEIR WORK WEEK

I am not sure how to take this story.

1. The less time they spend trying to turn our country into something Karl Marx would be proud of the better.

2. Are they going to keep their pay the same? Don't we all wish that we could just cut our own hours with the same pay to spend time with our families. This action is nothing more that a flat out robbery of our tax dollars that are used to pay their salaries, flights and living expenses.

I don't want to hear another Democrat in office complain about the direction of our country, the tax system and entitlements. This is great work ethic.

ALL OF THIS THE SAME WEEK THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO RAISE TAXES!
