I don't know why those gif's aren't showing up, they were just song notes.

Ole Rob McMahon had better rethink his boycott of A/C and lights. If it works too well he'll save so much energy that when the Arabs cut off our oil like they're threatening, we won't notice! hehehe And then the dems can't blame GWB for high gas prices and his "incoherent" Mid-East policies! Sucks to be between a rock and a hard place!

… schoolteachers to protest Monday by turning off lights and air conditioning in their classrooms.

Guess this proves how much these teachers care “for the children.”

… activists will shout racism should the state refuse to fund some of the less desirable 'academies'.

Ah!! but the beauty is that the STATE is not funding these academies, the PARENTS are – by free choice – and if these academies are not performing, the PARENTS will quickly and efficiently de-fund them.
