The $10,791 that Wisconsin taxpayers spent per pupil in its public elementary and secondary schools in fiscal year 2008 was more than any other state in the Midwest –- yet, two-thirds of eighth graders showed at best only a “partial mastery of prerequisite knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work” at that grade level.

I blame Hitleresque Republican governors who use democracy to rob of us our right to other people’s money (and free Viagra). And of course, Bush. And maybe Palin, too, if we can show she was in the area…

Squid, are you talking about Jaguars or Microsoft operating systems?
