on Joan Smith: Cleverness isn't sexy any more
- Cleverness never was sexy: how many swots had to fight off members of the opposite sex at school.? How many politicians who can see two sides to an issue get selected, much less elected?
- "The Government's policy on education ... is far from what many people would want a schools system to be"
True, but then the existing education system is so far from what many people would want it to be that one gets the feeling that almost any change would be an improvement. Looking at results, it is hard to see how things could get much worse.
- on Anonymous denies PlayStation Network hack 20 hours agoSorry, but Anonymous is not a credible source here. The organization stands for the principle that transparency is good for everyone except themselves.
- Vote NO if you prefer someone else's first choice to your own second choice.
- I do like it, but should a given election show a majority for "none of the above," the position should go unfilled for that term and all monies (salaries, staff, allowances) go to pay down principal on the national debt. Should a position get "none of the above" three election cycles in a row, it would be abolished.”
- Bush declined, essentially saying: Hey, it's his watch now.
George know this day is not about him.
Sadly, many politicians also know this but will use the day for political gain anyway.
Tragically, for America, some politicians in both parties do not know that this day is not about them.
- Of course they knew. After all, there are only 10s of thousands of compounds like binLaden's within 35 miles of Islamabad. Certainly, looking at Google Maps satellite, there are only hundreds of such compounds in Abbottabad.
I mean, surely our CIA knows who lives in every house costing over $1 million within 35 miles of Washington DC and can certify that no wanted criminals live in any of them. Couldn't they?
