You mean his "Department of Climate change."
Never elect a peanut farmer.
What’s more: Never elect a humorless lout and snob.
That's an insightful way to look at it.
I don't know much detail about the Dept of Energy, I'm all for energy independence, but continuing others' comments about the Dept of Education with which I have had association, it is absolutely, positively, overwhelmingly, obvious there is no real need whatsoever for a federal "dept of education."
Every parent, every business, every citizen, of this (US) nation inherently knows to the bottom of their heart that fundamental education is necessary; and every child in every state must attend school, of various reasonable state certifications. Furthermore prior to the nineteen seventies there was NO federal "dept of education." My father, educated through the eighth grade (the requirement at the time) was far far better educated in literature, algebra, geometry, history, than the overwhelming majority of high school graduates today.
Why, Why, Why is there a federal Dept of Education when the fostering initiatives, and structure, exist already anyway???
I think you've got it.
He’s succeeding in that!
Thank you for the explicit reference. I was 13 at the time, but it was seared ... SEARED into my memory as a complete non-sequitur.
I was a lot older than 13! ; )
If you think that’s funny, recall the paperless office that would be created by computers.
Thanks for saving the thread! keywords added
My company couldn’t create the paperless bathroom.
Indeed.
Yes, I have been corrected. But I could have sworn.....oh well, memory is the first thing to go.............
That’s not nearly as funny as THIS joke.
Guy goes into a bar, there’s a robot bartender.
The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini.” The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “168”. The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.
The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says,” What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”. Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “100.” The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.
The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”, and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “Uh, about 50.” The robot leans in real close and says, “So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?”
Actually, if you think about it, what the robot bartender said to the guy with the 50 IQ could also be said to the guy with the 168 IQ.
“Why, Why, Why is there a federal Dept of Education when the fostering initiatives, and structure, exist already anyway???”
IMHO....suppression of regional variation in content, thought, and ideas....all of which are potential threats to federal control.
