It's funny, I have a great life, enjoy work, have a great family. But, there is a pit in my stomach that aches to think about the classless, do anything, say anything, admin. in out white house. I will be so relieved to be rid of them. Clinton fatigue is alive and well here in America. Two lasting impressions, that burn in my mind from these guys. 1. The Slick One wagging his finger at the camera, lecturing America saying,"I did not have sex......." 2. Al Gore at the post impeachment vote party in the Rose GArden calling the Slick One the best president in America's history. It's funny how crystal clear it is that these guys aren't worthy of the office - opposed to the other side who appartently actually think that America could not have survived without them in the office the last 8 years. This thread is a nice vent, glad I found it! MB

A post script to my early tale of school board elections in Austin. (A stealth campaign led to the election of fundamentalists, who messed up various things before getting booted the next election, The board and their supporters left the public school system to found a fundamentalist private school). Well, they brag on their school (Crossroads) as often as there are reports of trouble in public schools. They are also the most vocal supporters of vouchers. However according to todays paper (the story was not in the online version) the school isn't opening this season. It seems that the financial difficulties were not so much the lack of vouchers, but just your plain old embezzlement. It seems like the school was paying for the preacher/headmaster's truck, and thousands of dollars in cell phone bills by him and his wife, and salary advances to some of his favorite staff. When the rest of the staff showed up there was no money left. The preacher says that the schools finances are a religious matter and should not be investigated. TP
