Um...start listening to Howard and you will be set straight. BTW, today Howard was pretty funny doing an imprression of a jive talkin' Colin Powell verbally bitch-slapping Yasser Arafat in private.
"In an exhaustive national study released earlier this year by the publication Education Week, California's public schools rated among the lowest of the low. We rated an "F"—absolute last among all 50 states—in overall school climate.
Last year we got a "D-" in the same category, so we're moving in the wrong direction.
Now, there are some outstanding schools, but in just about every category you can think of, we are still failing to prepare future generations that are literate, articulate and technologically proficient.
And make no mistake, ultimately this will be California's undoing as an economic force.
In short, too many of our public schools are broken, and my first priority as Governor will be to fix them."
GOV. DAVIS -- the current public education grade after 3 1/2 years is still 'F', or is it 'F-'?
"What kind of Governor would I be? Simply put, I would be very responsible with your tax dollars, passionate about education, committed to the environment, strongly pro-choice—and death on violent crime."
YEAH, RIGHT!!!
"But I know two things: First, your vote is not for sale! And second, I offer the voters a wealth of experience money can't buy!"
THOUGH I WILL TRY TO BUY IT. A 'WEALTH' OF BIG BROTHER GOVERNMENT EXPERIENCE.
"I assure you that I intend to stand my ground, stand on my record and continue standing up for the principle of our Democratic Party!"
The 'principle of our Democratic Party'??? 'THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS'
"....we will not only win in November, we will together forge a future for California that is every bit as bright as our golden past....."
at four times the cost, half the freedom, and twice the government
LIGHT'S OUT, GOVERNOR!!!
