What have these guys been smoking? They suggest that the drinking age be lowered? What kind of morons are these? It's bad enough that in N.Y.C. we have a school's chancellor who fled teaching after 6 months, but for college heads to advocate this? No wonder, and rightfully so is MADD so outraged.
These 100 guys need an immediate sabbatical or booted yet, they need to be expelled.

That Missouri Broad
Score one for Sen. Claire McCaskill. (D-Mo) She has been trying to make the talk circuit in her quest to be put on the Obama ticket.
She now criticizes Sen. McCain for not exactly backing President Bush in the Russia-Georgia crisis. In other words, now is the time for all good men to come to aid of their party is her motto.
Wonder what fellow Missourian Harry Truman is thinking about this up in heaven? He realizes that America has come a long way if a major political party is about to nominate a black person for the presidency. Didn't Mr. Truman even use the n word to describe black people? We all know how anti-Semitic his mother-in-law was. Business partner, Eddie Jacobs, was not allowed over to the house as he was Jewish.
Sen. McCaskill for Vice President? Not really. What would she add to the ticket? Well, speaking about swing states, Missouri certainly leads the pack in that one. In 1952 it followed the lead of most of the states by voting for Dwight Eisenhower. Surprisingly, 4 years later, it was the only Eisenhower state to desert him and vote for Stevenson. (Kentucky and West Virginia had gone for Stevenson in '52 but swung over to Ike in 1956.) Is it time to reward Missouri with Claire on the ticket? Obviously, this is ridiculous reasoning, but a woman on the ticket might cool off the Hillary supporters, those who still can't get over that she will not be the Democratic nominee. Is it time to honor the memory of Harry Truman by putting another Missouri person on the ticket?
Now, for Sen. McCain. He would be so perfect for the 1950s. Some of his ideas need to be hidden. I know. John McCain should consider Doris Day for the Vice Presidency as she is a woman and she has been in hiding for over 20 years now. On the campaign, we could still have her belt out Love Me or Leave Me, I'll Never Stop Loving You, Once I Had A Secret Love and certainly Que Sera Sera! What will be will be. The future's not ours to see. How could I forget-Stay on the Right Side of the Road? That would bring the house down and have Ruth Etting turning over in the grave!

The Undecided
After reviewing the Saturday night forum between Senators Obama and McCain, this voter is more confused than ever regarding who to vote for. I shall need much more time via the debates before I make a final determination. Sen. Obama is too courteous and comes off quite kindly. Sen. McCain is gruff with his immediate answers. I wish he would stop referring to everyone as my friends. We're not his friends. Sen. McCain sounds as if he is still at the OK Corral ready for that final shoot out.
Mr. Olmert, Go On Retirement, Now
The Knesset has voted 16-4 to release 200 Palestinian prisoners as a gesture of good will to the head Palestinian animal Abbas. You can throw up from this. They are probably allowing killers to be released who will only inflict more harm on eretz Yisroel. What have the Palestinians done as good will for Israel? These Palestinians only want the total destruction of Israel. Am Yisroel Chai!

Did You Know?
How many people are aware of the fact that Randi Weingarten receives a double pension? Does that now become 3 pensions as she has been elected president of the AFT? What a joke. How many people in the union hierarchy receive double pensions? Teachers don't receive double pensions.
How many people are aware that when Rudy Crew left the chancellor's position, he was supposedly given extra time so as to qualify for a New York City pension? Would a teacher ever be granted extra time? Crew and others have horse like pensions, far more than pedagogues who taught for 30+ years. This should all be investigated. Supposedly, Dr. Crew was to do consultant work in order to get in the extra time. People where he was supposed to report to claimed that they never saw him. Big-time rip off.
Police, fire and sanitation workers rightfully receive VSF money added to their pensions. The UFT never bothered to fight for this for the membership. Where have they been? Why is this allowed to go on? If teachers were given this money they're entitled to, their pensions would rise to at least $12,000 per annum. It's a disgrace that the union leadership has not fought for this.
Instead of working for the membership, Ms. Weingarten ran to put Mayor Bloomberg's coat on and sat comfortably next to him at the World Series. Right after that came the horrendous 2005 give-backs.
What will Ms. Randi give up next? Health benefits for retirees? Teachers having to ask permission to use the bathroom? Forfeiture of summer vacation?School year ending June 30th? No more sabbaticals? 40+ in a class? Teachers given no warning of pending u-ratings? Schools opened on High Holy Days? No more grievances whatsoever? Reduction or elimination of prep time in junior and senior high schools? Elimination of the February vacation? Elimination of tenure? Increase tenure to 10 years for probationary teachers? Return to 35 years of service and at least be of age 65 to retire?

Setting It Straight
Thanks to the constant venom of the New York City editorial boards, the public is allowed to think that teachers get paid for the summer. This is NOT true. Teachers are paid for 10 months and the pay is spread out for the remaining 2 months. As always, the city does very well by this arrangement. As a result of this, they are able to hold on to the interest.
Everyone can't wait to jump on the backs of teachers. Too bad that the UFT has become such a weak union that this is allowed to go on and on. New leadership is needed regarding the UFT leadership. Randi Weingarten's Unity Caucus has been in power for over 40 years now. It's time for a change. When Ms. Weingarten finally leaves the UFT presidentcy to devote her efforts at the AFT, there has to be a new direction. Thanks to the 2005 contract teachers gave up far too many hard fought gains.

Obama, the anti-Christ, Oy Vey
Sen. McCain, your ads that infer that Sen. Obama is the anti-Christ are absolutely ludicrous. Stop it. Nice to see you posting Charlton Heston parting the sea in "The Ten Commandments." Don't use my favorite film to secure votes for someone who may not be my favorite candidate. What a terrible election this is turning into. Both candidates leave a lot to be desired. Bring back Al Gore. He'd get my vote in about a minute.
Am really beginning to think that the Vice Presidential candidates will be superior to those at the top of their respective tickets. For all of us who live in New York City, let's see if Mayor Bloomberg endorses someone. As soon as he does, we will know to vote for the other guy.
