Casino67 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 NYTimes Op Ed:By THOMAS L. FRIEDMANPublished: August 24, 2010While Washington is consumed with whether our president is secretly a Muslim, or born abroad, possibly in outer space, I’d like to talk about some good news. But to see it, you have to stand on your head. You have to look at America from the bottom up, not from the top (Washington) down. And what you’ll see from down there is that there is a movement stirring in this country around education. From the explosion of new charter schools to the new teachers’ union contract in D.C., which will richly reward public school teachers who get their students to improve faster and weed out those who don’t, Americans are finally taking their education crisis seriously. If you don’t want to stand on your head, then just go to a theater near you after Sept. 24 and watch the new documentary “Waiting for Superman.” You’ll see just what I’m talking about.

Argyle58 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'm skeptical.....the film maker is none other than Davis Guggenheim. For those who don't know who he is, check the credits of "An Inconvenient Truth"........he made that one, too. Algore just got the public credit, because he made up all of the lies that went into it.

Al_Simmons Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Algore? "Made up lies?" Harumph. You're giving him WAYYY too much credit. He didn't "make them up"; he merely COLLECTED them. Don't overestimate his brain capacity. "Sex-starved poodles" aren't too swift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyle58 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Al_Simmons.......I guess "compiled" would have been a better choice of words. But, I'm sure even that would have to have been delegated to some warm blooded staffer who's I.Q. was a couple of points higher than a Pet Rock.
