The pres and the kids By Steven C. Day

As much as I detested the presidency of George W. Bush, if he had given a speech to be broadcast to schools, the possibility of pulling my kids out of class wouldn't even have occurred to me. This is just so stupid. In fact, it's so stupid it's hard for me to avoid the conclusion that racism is at play here.

What exactly are these boobs so afraid of? Do they think that one speech about staying in school will turn their children into lifelong Democrats?

I remember when I was a kid, growing up in Wisconsin, my grade school class took a field trip to the state capital where we met the governor. I got to personally shake the guy's hand, which was sort of cool, to be honest.

Of course, he was a Republican and we were Democrats. And my parents didn't like him (politically) a whole lot. Yet, for some strange reason, they didn't pull me from the trip to protect me from this bad influence. I remember going home afterwards and telling Dad that he seemed like a good governor. Dad told me he didn't feel that way, but it was up to me to form my own opinions

I guess that's why I turned into a lifelong Republican. Oh wait...

LAST CHANCE DEMOCRACY CAFE
