The views presented on this site in no way reflects those of my employer, family, friends, acquaintances or distant cousins as these generally fall into three categories: the smart ones that agree with me, those that tolerate me because of my wit, charm, great intellect and modesty, and those who think that I'm a raving wingnut who's one Kennedy away from going medieval on the next vegan moonbat that barks.
I do not do links for the sake of reciprocity. I link only to those sites that I read and I only read RSS feeds. Feel free to send me a link to your site and I'll take a look. If I like it, and if you have a feed, I'll add you to my blogroll.

Sen. Byrd (D-WV) usually slips amendments into legislation that spends taxpayer money on pork projects in West Virginia. But now he has used his sly talents for something else entirely — he added an amendment to a spending bill that orders all federally funded schools (including colleges) to hold a program commemorating the signing of the Constitution in 1787 on or around 17 September every year.
This'll be sure to end up pissing off everybody. Liberal educators will be mad that the federal government is mandating changes to the curriculum, and conservatives will be mad with the material presented. "Why is that?" I hear you ask:
Miss Aspey said federal laws prohibit curriculum mandates, but the Byrd mandate "doesn't dictate to schools the content or the specifics of their Constitution Day program." ...
"Each school can rely on the ingenuity of its educators to determine how best to present its own program on the Constitution," [Byrd] said.
What do you think the presentation content will be in Berkely?
