Teens give adults mediocre grades, survey finds

WASHINGTON - School is out across much of the country, and so is the seventh annual Uhlich Report Card, a survey that gives teenagers a chance to grade adults on how well they're solving problems teens and the rest of the nation face.

They didn't give adults a report card that most kids would be proud to take home, however. Adults' overall grade came out to a C; they scored 10 B's, 13 C's, one D and no A's when their grades in 24 categories were averaged.

Adults' grade for fighting the war on terrorism fell from a B- to a C+.

1. Those kiddos don't even want to go there

When most of us are at retirement age, and these whippersnappers are running the country, we can grade them too...

2. They have every right to grade us down

Thanks to the Chimp, we are spending our kids money like drunken sailors, not addressing future energy needs, making the cost of higher education ridiculous, outsourcing jobs, etc. Not to mention getting involved in this ridiculous war which will require perhaps many of these kids to serve (and possibly die), and you see why they may be a little pissed at us.

Thank you, Dubya.
