9/11 and Universal Hillarycare

[Shrillary!] Clinton said she wanted to return to a time when the country and its leaders had big goals and achieved them—like improving civil rights or sending a man to the moon. She said she wished President Bush would have used the opportunity of a unified nation after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to make the country energy independent or provide universal health care.
Riiiiiight....

Next time we get attacked, I recommend the POTUS use the opportunity to outlaw black licorice jelly beans and legalize jaywalking.

First Day of Spring

From the wifey, I needed this:

"See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone;
Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come..."

New Winston Churchill quote

"There is no virtue in a tame acquiescence in evil. To protest against cruelty and wrong, and to strive to end them, is the mark of a man."

Exxon = EVIL

Oil companies are baaaaad. Mmmmmkay?

Exxon Mobil launches science and math program

WASHINGTON — Exxon Mobil Corp. is launching a national program aimed at improving the way math and science are taught in U.S. schools and getting more students to take challenging coursework.

The giant oil and gas company plans to spend $125 million to create the National Math and Science Initiative, said Kenneth Cohen, chair of the company's charitable foundation.

[...] The program will focus on preparing existing and new teachers to teach college-level, or Advanced Placement, courses.

A second effort will focus on encouraging college students majoring in math and science to become teachers. The program will give them access to education courses and financial assistance during school and upon graduation if they go into teaching.

Cohen said the effort was in part a response to a federal report that said the nation has to invest more heavily in math and science — subject areas that are key for many of today's jobs.

Recently released results of a national math test showed that nearly 40 percent of high school seniors scored below the basic level. Almost half of the 12th-graders taking a national science test fell short of showing basic science skills.

Wish they had been dealing out the dough when I was failing geometry.
