I keep hoping the fire ants move up to Oklahoma! *grin*

This budget is a good start but we need to hang tough when
the teachers’ union starts whining about the chillun going
hungry and uneducated. Money doesn’t do the educating, good
teachers do....and the “deadwood” needs to go!

[ForGod'sSake]

Just looked at some maps of the fire ant range and it looks like our little sister to the north has already been blessed with the little critters. Sister and BIL live just south of OKC and they say they haven't seen any of 'em yet. Told 'em I might bring a few on my next visit but they didn't appear all the excited about the proposition. Imagine that! Share and share alike is what I always say. ;^)

Our schools, along with many other of our state or state supported institutions have become drunk on the taxpayers' dime. Past time they started a 12 step program to wean themselves from their over indulgence at our expense. Might do them all a world of good to be reintroduced to the reality of limited resources. Maybe more importantly, that the citizens are the ones that should be laying down the law, not government apparatchiks.
