A nice homeschooling rant today from Doug Giles: Publik Skule vs. Home School

I was sitting at our neighborhood pool New Year’s morning, enjoying the great South Florida weather while trying to grind out a couple of chapters for my new book, when three high school girls took the chaise lounges next to me and started talking about their New Year’s Eve party with their high school mates.

Seemingly still semi-drunk from the party, the 16- and 17-year-old girls began to recount how much coke, weed, vodka, guys and girls they did the night before. Listening to the F-bomb riddled report of the previous night’s peccadilloes left me thinking, how sad … and … what a waste … and … thank God my wife and I yanked our kids out of the public school system and away from these visionless, dissolute and spoiled morons.

The Kid's Not All Right

From World Net Daily (Via Michelle Malkin), news of a decision that just begs for a public-opinion-induced reversal:
Kid Rock, a popular vulgar rock-rapper whose lyrics wouldn't begin to pass muster with the Federal Communications Commission, is headlining the youth concert during the inauguration festivities for President Bush -- a politician who was re-elected largely due to the participation of traditional "values voters."

The Detroit-based rapper, who dedicated his first album to songs about oral sex and who was voted the Sluttiest Male Celebrity at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, will perform Jan. 18 at the Washington, D.C., Armory in a concert hosted by Bush daughters Jenna and Barbara. Teenage singer JoJo also will appear at the event.
The WND piece includes the Presidential Inauguration Committee's e-mail address.

Frankly, I have no idea as to whether this information is true. But I love it:
The military has been very busy here lately. Apparently, the Marines teamed up with some Psyop boys. The USMC put together two PLATOONS of snipers, & headed with the speaker boys out to Fallujah. When they got there, nobody in sight.

The speakers would blare, "Why don't you come out & fight. Why do you hide behind your women? Take off your Burkha & come out to meet us. We are ready to fight you." .... Nothing.

Keep speakers blaring. Pretty soon, one guy jumps up & starts coming out. BOOM. Down he goes.

Crank the speakers back up. "That guy wasn't righteous with Allah, or that couldn't have happened. Where are the righteous fighters that Allah will watch out for? Come out & show yourselves." BOOM.

By the end of the night, 42 insurgents had come to the call.
