I used to watch David the Gnome when I was young. When I went back and watched it as an adult it was the slowest moving thing I had seen in a while. I was amazed I had that kind of attention span as a kid.

Ugh, the car!

I live in the heat. I have to start to car before hand, just to make it so the family doesn't melt to the seats. It connects. I switch it back to my headset. I go back in the house to get stuff to load up, and I go out of range. Get back in range. It connects again. I switch it back to the headset. I forgot something....

Rinse and repeat like 5 times before I'm good to go. Whole time, I'm only catching every 10th word of whatever someone is saying to me on the phone, thinking it lost service, or they hung up on me.

I hate auto connect.

What if he doesn't mean that he's going to be a dictator. What if he means he will purge the country of anyone that doesn't think like him and his followers, therefore they never have to vote again because everyone will be on the same page. J/k...mostly

Start a school and teach everyone, everything he knows. Duh!

I'm not sure this actually does what he wants it to do. Im assuming, he wants to hear only cultural music but...

I mean at 110 bpm they still get Wannabe by the Spice Girls and Dr Feelgood by Motley Crew, I'm a Slave 4 U by Britney, some Public Enemy and Daft Punk, and I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross.

At 80, they still get Gangstas Paradise by Coolio, some Matchbox 20, Radiohead, Judas Priest, and TLC...and Doin Time by Sublime, which is appropriate, I guess.

It's not like all pop music has one tempo...

There was one named FBIMobileSurveillance once. It was weird because it would dissapear for a while then come back.

I'm sure the black suv that would randomly sit in different locations along the highway, (even in the median) with a guy on a computer in the driver seat had nothing to do with it... dundundunnn

Haven't seen the network or the van in a couple of years...

Just sayin.

Hes in my head. But. He might be dead.

Idk, the website doesnt work for me, but...

The state is using Education Savings Accounts, which is essentially tax payer and private funded. We all pay taxes to our school districts, well here in Texas we have this thing called the "Robin Hood" program. They "recapture" money from rich school districts and disburse it to poorer districts. The state then pays out to the schools per child in attendance.

For every child that is taken out of public school, they remove that funding from the public school (since that child is no longer attending) and put it into an Education Saving Account, which is their way of getting around that pesky separation of church and state stuff. (Thanks, Arizona) Instead of that money going directly to the school the child is now attending, they give the money to the parents, so they can ~~buy new flat screen tvs~~ pay the private school of their choice.

And of course you also have all the "donations" from "people who care about the children's education." (See everyone about to make bank from this shiny, new privatized school system)

As it is with all the laws these asshats come up with, these parents are celebrating the idea, but, of course not realizing, in the long run, its actually removing choice, not giving you more. What happened to your boot straps, people?
