We are Doomed 101

A jobless recovery.

Common sense alert:
It isn't a recovery without jobs.

We Are Doomed 53-100

For all the people who think Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990.

He didn't. If he did, he would be in prison.
Alright, Keith Olbermann has decided to play the dig up dirt game on someone other than a politician, and chose Glenn Beck.

Reading through the Daily Kos article which covered the request for information on Glenn Beck, his side kick Stu, and a third guy higher up, I read the comments below. Among them was this one:

Olbermann,

Are you sure this is what Obama would have you do? Do you think He wants this dragged through the public eye yet again?

Obama thanks Jones for his service, but agrees that he must go. He is a distraction to this administration and to the plans this President has. You should learn to listen.

Don't put yourself into opposition to Obama and the Party. Listen, and learn.

He will lead. You only need follow.

Quote over. Erm, "He will lead. You only need follow." Is it me or does that just not sound right? Anyhow, to help Olbermann's cause, I can give a synopsis of this past week of listening and watching.

Stu likes to dress like Sebelius, Glenn promotes prayer on his radio show, and the other guy heads Fox News (as is my understanding, that is a crime in your opinion Olbermann). Well, having done my civic duty for the State, I am going to continue reading the news for things that actually matter.

Obama's Speech To Schools

I am opposed to the speech Obama will be giving to schools. I oppose it because teachers constantly complain about not having enough time to teach what they have to every year. Also, the timing (at least for schools in Maine) would interrupt lunches, which really means kids will not even be listening to the speech if it cancels the lunches because the speech will be drowned out over complaints of hunger. I also do not think that kindergarten students will even remember the speech in high school when it really would matter.

So, to also provide a solution which would be more effective: speak to the parents of the country. I know cutting out the middle man is often desired in government deals, the parent is one middle man which should never be taken out of issues involving kids. Make a speech to parents instead of students and request an effort for parents to get more involved in their student's schools. Let parents know they are a crucial part of keeping their kids away from drugs and inspiring their kids to finish high school and look to college as the best option following high school. That is a speech that needs to be made by someone other than our pastors and school principles. It would also keep the parent in control of the final decision as it should be. A government close to, but not controlling of the people is what this country was founded on.



I would also like to point out to blogger.com that Barack and Obama should no longer be words which are underlined as misspelled. It would make my typing so much faster as I always pause at an error.
