Goats
LA Governor Blanco and N.O. Mayor Ray Nagin: Prime examples of why Democrats should stick to what they’re best at, which is causing problems and blaming as much of it as possible on Republicans. For Blanco and Nagin, mission accomplished.
Sean Penn: The actor, just back from Iraq and Iran, headed to New Orleans with a personal photographer to continue his quest to go down in history as Jack Kerouac with a lobotomy scar. Penn's mission was noble-- to take his boat and pluck people from the water. This may have earned him a “hero” spot. However, the boat was apparently made from the same material as Penn’s intellect, because the craft, like his logic, quickly sprung a leak and sunk. What a fitting tribute to the late Bob Denver.
The Price is Right: Early last week, one of the showcase prizes on The Price is Right was a trip to New Orleans and a boat. Whoops! The "previously recorded" demon strikes again. You'd think they would have pulled that particular episode, which was probably taped a month or two ago, prior to airing. I have a feeling that somebody over at CBS in programming is being kerplunked naked down the Plinko board over this one.
Celine Dion: Appearing on Larry King Live, Dion proved that, though her heart will go on, her brain won't. Concerning looters, Dion said: "Oh, they're stealing 20 pair of jeans or they're stealing television sets. Who cares? They're not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor they've never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once."
They've never touched a vacuous French-Canadian singer either, I'll bet. I pray to the Gods of idiocy that looters are someday in Dion's mansion so we can say the same thing to her... we'll see how understanding she is then. I'm sure she'd point that out after the cops left and the charges were filed.
Whoever thought of the debit card idea: FEMA and the Red Cross decided to hand out $2,000 debit cards to evacuees in Texas, which suddenly made hurricane Katrina have something in common with Woodstock: A lot more people claim to have been trashed there than actually were. You can now buy Louis Vuitton bags at pawn shops all across the south.
France: In comparison to Bangladesh’s $1 million donation, France sent tents and tarps. You would think they could cough up a little more. Apparently they don’t even feel the responsibility to pay for the cleanup of their quarter of New Orleans. I guess we shouldn’t expect much from a country that won’t even give Lance Armstrong his pee back. The heroes and the goats in the hurricane Katrina disaster—there will be many, many more in the days to come.

: 
Anyway, don't worry about this kid. Even though my wife is a self-labeled liberal, she is big on personal responsibility...it builds character and not dependencies. You can bet your last dollar this young man will be an active participant in his leaning plan, and will held accountable for his actions or inactions. While my wife is Rhodes Scholar and could be earning several time her current salary, she continues to teach these kids because she cares, but she does not cradle; she is compassionate, but she will not coddle. You either take personal responsibility for your actions or suffer the consequences. You will not graduate to the next level until your pass her course; you will not earn a passing grade if you don't master the material. And what about Shared Learning that says all students should earn receive the same grade on their report cards? Shared learning my arse! If I earn an A, I am not about to give half of it to the lazy arse who did little or nothing to earn his or her F...just so we both earn a C. Nor am I going to give half of my hard earned paycheck to the lazy ass because...well, he is a lazy ass. This kind of thinking will destroy this Country so don't be fooled. !protest
