"Troops to Teachers" wouldn't have those silly "certifications," they'd just walk in and be highly qualified? WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!?!?
Remember, he voted against the GI Bill so they could go back to school. This is the only way it works out.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm watching off and on, and didn't see the remark that prompted this, but that sounds like how Teach For America works -- about six weeks of intensive training over the summer, and then start teaching with conditional certification.

I'm watching PBS coverage after watching the debate on C-Span. Did any of the networks have them on split screen the whole time?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Every time McCain acts like Obama is an idiot who doesn't understand or pay attention or would be surprised...
Does ANYBODY buy that? Anybody at ALL think the man is less than really really fucking smart?

Hil, he wasn't talking about intensive training and conditional certification. They shouldn't have to bother with certification at all. It's unfair.

No, it wasn't (to my understanding) like Teach for America. I'll go back and find it later.

Please reassure me it isn't mean to shut MK in the bathroom for the night. It's the only way I'll be able to leave him with food and drink the other cats won't consume. (I've had to sit next to him fending them off.) I'd shut him in the bedroom with me, but then I'd have to shut one of the others in the bathroom and they are yellers and diggers and no one would sleep. He'll be all...yeah...huh...what? OK, food, bed. Good.
I only have so many doors.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm not watching the debate.
Has anyone heard this? From Wonkette: JESUS FOX NEWS, COULD YOU AT LEAST TRY?:
“Colin Powell showed off his hip-hop moves at an ‘Africa Rising’ celebration in London Tuesday, fueling speculation that the former secretary of state is about to endorse Barack Obama for president.” Well you can’t argue with that kind of logic! [Fox News]
