Who the hell do they think they are?
Simultaneously smug and askance, that’s our Barkie, Co-T/POTUS.

Somebody needs to make that picture JHo linked into an avatar.
I tried, B Moe, but that foolish avatar site thing hasn’t cooperated. Won’t recognize my WP login.
Bmoe!

The login used here will not work for the wordpress or gravatar site.

I think we need to start a counterpart to the No Labels idiots. Something along the lines of the Fuck You party.
“At a certain point, maybe you have enough money.”
FUCK YOU.
“We can’t just leave it up to the parents.”
FUCK YOU.
“Now, let me be perfectly clear…”
FUCK YOU.
“Everybody is going to have to make sacrifices.”
FUCK YOU.
I’m sure the No Labels idiots would team up with us, too, since we’re not using any labels.
I have the same problem.
You don’t need it to. Just register the email addy you’re using here with Gravatar, upload the pic and it’s automagical from there.
There are three kinds of people in Michelle’s America:
wards, warders and wardens.
I saw this yesterday, and found M’chelle’s open-ness about this to be surprising. This has long been the bedrock upon which much of the problems in primary and secondary education have been built wilfully by the AFT/NEA mafiosi, the diversity fetishists, and the multi-culti crowd.
I can’t pinpoint when it happened as I left high school in the 70’s, and didn’t become fully aware of what my friend’s and family’s children were being taught in public schools until I was permanently shore based in the 90’s; but somewhere along the way this notion that the parent’s couldn’t be trusted arose. When exactly did parents ceded the right to inculcate values and mores into their offspring? When did we decide as a society that, collectively, we knew what was better for people’s children than the parents themselves?
Like many other revolting societal developments, I suspect that this is all based on devising government programs based on the lowest common denominator. So it is that my uncle and aunt, who are teachers in North Carolina, complain that they have to gear their cirricula to the lowest achievers, and as such are effectively holding back the rest of the class; all in the name of having the necessary statistical metric of successful promotions. What’s really troubling is this is spilling over into the “AP” courses, where what would typically be rank and file students are grouped in with the high achievers, and of course, in the interest of success guess what’s happening to thise courses as well?
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that mediocrity is being institutionalized here; as it has in most instances where bean counting based on false measures of success in “diversity” and inclusiveness is most highly prized.
I just wonder when we as a nation abdicated our personal authority over our children, and turned it over to the largely communist NEA/AFT?
We need to put real education back in schools instead of worrying about everyone getting the same trophy for participating, and giving them 3 hots and a cot.
This is not a wordpress site. It uses wordpress software. There is a difference.
Bob, I remember we had three different reading groups when I was in grade school, geared towards the abilities of the students. I imagine they don’t do that any more, because it “unfairly” singles out the kiddies.
So, instead of leaving it up to parents, we’re going to leave it up to the unelected, fat bitch wife of an already unpopular president? Are you proud of your country now, cow?
And can you imagine if someone from the Heinz or Mars or Busch families ever got elected? What kind of conflict of interest would that introduce?
Fuck you and your authoritarian idea, beeyotch.
Michelle has the true Pioneer spirit and is working hard to infuse it into all
ourher children. She is the warming embrace of sunshine enfolding all children everywhere.*They want to turn the schools into orphanages. Your children will live there day and night. They’ll eat there, sleep there, study there, and (most likely) start families of their own there. All of it under the tender care and watchful eye of Mrs. Mann or Mr. Bumble or Miss Hannigan or whomever else the dedicated Children’s Worker’s Union puts in charge.
What a glorious day it will be, when The Children™ are all safe and warm in their (government-issued) cots, reading their (government-mandated) lessons and eating their (government-provided) foods, learning every day about how wonderful the government is, and how it provides for their every need out of the goodness of its heart. Never mind that the cots are made by the lowest bidder, and the food provided by the local apparatchik’s brother who happens to own a dog food facility, and the books provided by a special U.N. council.
No, the important thing is that children will never again have Eggos and ice cream for supper. Amen!
And that’s precisely the kind of stuff that collectively lowers the abilities of our schoolkids these days cranky-d.
W-We can’t have 3 different reading groups, because Casper’s and Lil’Papi’s self-esteem will be hurt because they play x-box instead of do homework and their parents could give a frig…
So, you know, let’s save them from their familial lack of responsibility and disregard for education by making everyone as stoopid as they are; in the name of diverity!
I mean, heaven forbid that others might use that bunch of dolts as an example of why you should do your homework.
Besides, it’s cool to be dumb, and you can’t be a great rapper if you read and speak like the white man; you gotta be wigger-licious like Emen-em if you wanna-be keepin’ it real.
OH NO YOU DI’INT, YOU DI’INT GO THERE? Oh yes, I did…
I apologize for the tone of my responses; stuff like this really gets my blood boiling, though.
What zombies are you guys talking about? I couldn’t see past that healthy food lady’s huge fat ass. Because she’s fat, and she’s worried about other people’s kids.
Is she trying to make sure there’s enough mashed taters left for her to have thirds?
What Man-shell is doing is causing people to look and point at fat people. It’s like Barry: he’s an idiot, but the media has made him out to be all knowing, so that when people use facts to disagree with his idiot ideas, he calls them fat-cat-partisan-terrorist-hostage-takers.
Same with the fattest first lady in the last 100 years: She’s ugly, but not in a homely way, more in a scary, not pretty way and her attitude makes her look like a feral cat that got thrown into a bucket of warm lard: she’s not beautiful, but the media makes her out to be breathtaking, so now everyone that likes to have some Eggos for dinner every now and then are on the verge of a coronary.
Those two really share a bed? Really?
Gross.
Sure would be nice if we had an opposition party to step in on this. Oh, that’s right, they’re all for it. King Barcky the strawman slayer might say something nasty about them and the NYT would run a “Repubs are anti children” op-ed. Oh, dear.
Those two really share a bed? Really?
It’s not really sharing. It’s just too big for one person and that’s not fair.
LMC, that made me laugh. :) And I was working up a good head of steam for this story.
Fuhrerprinzip.
To quote Chris Rock, “Keepin’ it Real…. Real Dumb!”
Michelle should get together with the folks at No Labels. It’s a cult in search of personality.
i’m starting No Nouns
What’s your position on gerunds?
Where do I sign up for the Fuck You party?
It’s like the Tea Party; it’ll grow from the ground up and self-organize.
I just need to find a way to rant on one of the cable channels, as a way to launch the whole thing.
Fuck these people. With a swordfish. Good Allah, they make me want to spit.
I’m thinking a simple self-denunciation won’t do it after posting this, so I’ll be in my room committing honorable seppuku.
Jessalyn Gilsig. That is better
Michelle Obama: “we can’t just leave it up to the parents,” three days after Barack Obama just leaves it up to Bill Clinton.
This shit writes itself.
Methinks Little Lord Brakabama curses his parents for not making him as big and strong as Michelle’bama’s parents made her. She has shoulders and a big, healthy back yard. The Blessed Little Brakabama looks bolemic by comparison.
He’ll make YOU pay!!
for this injustice.
Reality is a crime against justice. Let us repeal reality. Let it be written. Let it be imagined.
and then enforced! With extreme prejudice.
bulimic. Whatever.
