The Jeb Bush College of Education

[filkertom]

New music software, new music, a possible cure for diabetes... what could possibly screw up a day like this? Oh, right, Republican bullshit. This isn't even the third or fourth most egregious example this morning... but something about it typifies everything about conservative "government" these days.

It doesn't seem to be law just yet - but my *god* the pettiness on display here.

Nauseating. Disgusting and nauseating.

Hunt Votes Where the Votes Are

The people who didn't like Bush took their vote where THEY had a majority. The people who did like Bush took their vote where THEY had a majority. It's just that the pro-Bush people had a whole lot bigger stick than the anti-Bush people.

I think both sides are being petty. The U of F people are just trying to substitute their elitist ideas about "correct" public policy for that of officials who were elected by the people to set public policy. They admit that. On the other hand, the legislators are just trying to stick it to the U of F people in a display of power that can only be called petty and beneath the dignity of a legislative body. They admit that ... well at least that they were trying to stick it to the University.

Both sides should admit their pettiness, reverse their votes, and stop the nonsense.

Somewhere along the line the custom of waiting until a politician was dead before naming things after him or her got lost. I think that's too bad.

It's sheer politics on the Republican side. The man known on local radio here as "Governor Duuuuhhh" didn't do anything exceptional. That may be his only contribution; unlike his brother Dubya he did nothing. But that's still not enough to name a school after him.

So let me get this straight:

People on the House Schools and Learning Council have the power to rename the school, despite who may disagree with them?

Hmmmmmmmm... If enough of us can get on that council, could "Fenton Agricultural College" be far behind?

Oh, good grief! That man probably can't even spell edukayshun.
