look like childs play


thats what I told the teachers dumb enough to vote bush today, then I reminded them that they better find a fixed interest home loan and make sure their student loans were locked in as well


then I handed them an enlistment form

1. Schoolteachers for *?!

WTF, is that like the NAACP supporting Strom Thurmond?! How can there be such a thing? Didn't the * administration call the NEA a "terrorist organization"? :grr:

3. Yea, I know

when I called them on it, they said they didn't support all of his platform but they did the war

[Cerridwen]

2. LOL - nice touch, the enlistment form. They'd also better make

sure their car is paid up and they have about 24 months worth of "emergency" savings because it takes longer these days to find a job once yours has been "outsourced."

4. As a teacher it drives me crazy when other teachers

vote for shrub! They're the first ones to complain about No Child Left Behind (a euphimism for teachers aren't doing their job), "accountability", vouchers, "competition", etc.

5. My union co-workers

I am in a union and am shocked at how many people I work with voted for Bush. They were crowing the other day about the Bush "win" and I told them that "any union member that voted for Bush is a fucking idiot."

I didn't hear another word from them after that...don't they get it? They are so worried about having to pay more in taxes that they don't see the big picture. You need a job to pay taxes, and Bush and his cronies are certainly no friends of unions.

We are in deep shit.

6. i DON'T GET the taxes crap

do they not realize the itty bitty check we got pales in comparrison to the HUGE hike in gas and local and state taxes???

7. Take the elements of the Gilded era, Depression, 50s, and

Viet Nam...

and you won't even come close to what is coming next.

8. One of my teacher coworkers wore her W buttons to school yesterday

She's been a rabid, psychotic Bush supporter all year long. Yes, she IS a moron. Perhaps not coincidentally, she's also one of those teachers who you can hear screaming through the wall, and most of her work week involves passing out worksheets and showing movies.

We stared at her, and stared at her buttons. After five minutes or so, she took the jacket off of her shoulders so that the buttons were no longer visible. SHe looked uncomfortable, and I was glad. Whem she began speaking about a "clear majority," I pointed out that 60-40 would have been a clear majority, 51-49 is something else entirely.

Bitch.
