6. vote YES, right?

before I vote I want to eliminate the confusion that these double effect poll questions cause. Action 2 good, to action 1 bad... do we agree with the result of the first action? Correct? I am not familiar with the Florida Supreme Court's decision and the factors causing it.

(I voted YES)

8. Jeb pouts in 'Voucher Crashers'

Jeb pouts in 'Voucher Crashers'

During Gov. Bush's campaign in 1998, he claimed that vouchers weren't a big part of his education plan. Now, the governor may spend his last year in office campaigning to make vouchers part of the Florida Constitution.

One of the best scenes in the hilarious movie Wedding Crashers shows Isla Fisher, in the role of the treasury secretary's daughter, throwing a temper tantrum. She scrunches up her face, swings her arms and stomps her feet. It's funny because she's a grown woman acting like a little kid.

Gov. Bush acted much the same way on Thursday after the Florida Supreme Court, in a decision that everyone but he and his delusional aides saw coming, ruled that Gov. Bush's system of vouchers is unconstitutional. He fumed about the public school "monopoly." He railed against the court — except, of course, the two justices he appointed. They backed the illegal voucher program.

It was familiar petulance. The governor shows it each time he is challenged. He blew up six years ago when two African-American legislators staged a sit-in to protest his policies toward minorities. He pouted when court after court ruled against him in the Terri Schiavo case. When environmental groups sued to block the Mecca Farms site for The Scripps Research Institute, the governor called them "legal terrorists." It is the arrogance of an ideologue who thinks he's never wrong.

10. Screw him, let him pout.

I don't think tax money should go to train future Falwells and Robertsons. Call me nuts, but that's the way I feel.

There's a reason for keeping church and state separate.

The whole idea behind private school is to keep poor rifraf out. :sarcasm:
