Am I the only one that shakes his head in shame when watching some of the interviews with rioting teachers? Some of these people are functionally illiterate and they are the instructors?

From a cursory reading of the data presented it looks like everyone of these "improvements" by rights belongs somewhere in the budgetary priority list of State, County or City entities?

Do they get 2-3% of every sale? Follow the money.

Our new military I guess. Now if they were to get some bacon grease or pig blood and pour it down the throat and noses to make the introduction to their virgins a bit more amusing would show more creativity.

Perhaps they can also address why automation and other efficiencies reduce the demand for labor? It seems to me that whoever comes up with an agenda can call for big government to come to the rescue and control individual choices. It has worked so well with welfare cases to bred like bunnies to get a bigger hunk of taxpayer dollars.

It is rather simple to write a "grep" script to pass a list of keywords or phrases to run against a massive group of files on your PC. Surely these big newspapers have access to bigger computers than we do? Stir up a buzz, or harvest a possible donor list for the DNC perhaps but they do not need the help of the great unwashed to help sort out the e-mails.

Mr. Breitbart's modus operandi (I would call it genius) is to set the trap and wait for the MSM lapdogs to jump all over him. He then sits back with that grin on his face and comes out with a second, third, fourth, example until they get the hint that they have no clue as to the depth of his documentation. The real targets (MSM talking heads) are so slow to grasp that he is playing them like Charlie Daniels plays the fiddle.

The part that burns me up is any donation that comes from a public employee union. In my analysis this is just a round-robin way to get all of us taxpayers to fund Hopey-Changey.

To bad this brat child disrespected him in such a fashion by claiming some sort of entitlement even after he reached the big time.

Incarcerating young people with hard core criminals. An underground economy in this product that corrupts all in the justice chain. End support for the Mexican drug lords. Quality monitoring and sales outlets based on liquor stores. A crop that can be grown on marginal lands. Hemp after the flowering tops are removed can have amazing commercial uses. The only issue that I can think of in opposition to legalization would be that there is no method for quickly checking the level of impairment on the road or on the job. Perhaps there is something out there am I am just not aware of?
