  1. NYT is reporting that Rep Clyburn is suggesting J Michelle Childs
  2. But doing something like that might boarder on teaching critical thinking. And we know we can’t allow that.
  3. Early betting is on Ketjanti Brown Jackson She clerked for Breyer and was reportedly on Obama's short list last time around.
  4. I can only go by second or third hand knowledge, but the charter schools in Detroit are not much better than the public system. It only gives parents whose kids who have been expelled from one school to go on to another one. Or if a parent doesn’t like a particular teacher to move on. It seem to have created a lot of school shopping and not much real learning
  5. Since the tipping discussion is in the late forum…. I’m finding myself sitting in a car wash while the car is being detailed with no small bills in my wallet. Feeling like a jerk
  6. I’ve got three teachers and 1 school administrator in the family. From what I can tell between the absent parents, over active parents and politicians (whose kids attend private schools, both in and out of state) their job is near impossible. The GOP plan seems to be destroy public schools, issue vouchers, and funnel money to their big businesses buddies in education
  7. Great response to the NF column. Take some time and read the whole thread
  8. I'm going to complain about the local schools teaching Arabic numerals in grade school.
  9. Some very fine people.
  10. When Nolan Finley thinks you're nuts Waiting for resident Trumpers' excuses....
  11. Technically, Doocy is probably the son of a bastard
  12. I just mentioned that. Didn't one governor actually kill it 20 years ago or so and ended up with a bunch of red ink? edit. I found this https://taxfoundation.org/jim-gilmores-car-tax-repeal-plan-18-years-later/
  13. Loving it here. Tax rate runs is around 5.75 for over $17,000. Social Security is not taxed and you get to deduct $12,000 from other incomes. Local taxes seem reasonable. Youngkin wants to drop sales tax on groceries, which is ok with me. Roll back the gas tax, which won't make a measurable difference at the pumps. A split Legislator for now. Biggest gripe a week into the new regime is that like all businesspeople with no legislative or government administrative experience he's trying to run the state with Executive Orders that go against current state and constitutional law. Note that this isn't my first go round here. I grew up in Roanoke. I also remember another Republican governor who reduced taxes (with a friendly legislator) and found himself deep in debt. Especially after killing the dreaded personal property tax on vehicles.
  14. And again they show their true colors
  15. What do Republicans stand for anyway. And what have they done in the last 10 years to help the middle class?
  16. I've seen this ending too many times
  17. What was that? Stafford's ADD meds wear off?
