Absolutely Hilarious! I really love the US school system.
Just can't let go, eh? I predict this stuff will stop at about the same time another Democrat gets elected to the Presidency.

Just What Are They Teaching Dept.:IF I spend $120,000 to send my kid to school, I damn well hope he/she at least learns the definition of "jihad".
Absolutely hilarious! Jonah Goldberg does it again. Bring on the Holy War!
I agree with both sides of the argument. Drug testing without cause is of dubious legality, yet participation in extracirricular activities is optional, so adminstrators should be able to run the programs as they see fit. When we get to mandatory drug testing of regular students we will have a real problem. Next, you can expect school health officials to test for cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
Osprey flies again. It's expensive, carries a lot of overruns, and has needed to be greatly modified to fly as advertised. Definitely not ready for primetime, it needs to go back to the drawing board, and educated engineers hired. But, no. Alas, it's a Defense contractor project, never intended to do more than pay contractor empoyees and give government administrators kick-backs. Untill they get it right, I fear for every Marine who flies in one.
This has gone far enough! And in Texas, no less. Liberals and their revisionist history have to go, and fast. It's no stretch to imagine repeating history if you never learned the cold, hard truth to begin with.

We should all be questioning this settlement offer. A closer inspection of Lybia's economy, and any problems therein, may be in order. 80% of the deal is economics related. We shouldn't strike them from the state sponsor of terrorists list no matter how much they offer to pay.
Inadvertent, yeah, sure. Carnivore a problem? Nope. No one should be alarmed that the government is spying on you.
I need no convincing that Saddam Hussein needs to go. However, for those remaining doubters, here in an editorial to clear up some of the FUD.
The Justices have made their ruling. Questions remain. The official language of this nation is American English. Explain this: Americans travel to Spain, there is no English signs, only Spanish. Yet, we must put up Spanish directions in our poling booths? How about adopting some of the culture of your new home nation? German settlers in China learned Chinese, why can't Hispanic settlers in America learn English? We shouldn't be quick to cry foul over voter disenfranchisement if the "disenfranchised" took the voting responsibility far too lightly.

This development isn't surprising. Two possibilities: We are inept and left our dragnet at home when we chose to go after al Qaeda, or we are "herding" the terrorists into nations where we want to make some changes, such as Iran or Iraq. Is this our excuse now to interfere withe the Kashmir problem?
Gun Control laws are supposed to reduce crime. But, like this article quotes, why were there 676 Chicago homicides last year, three fourths of which were gun related? If there are no guns, there is no crime, right?
