Teachers disproportionately send their kids to private schools. Most teachers are liberal. Liberal politicians do not send their kids to public schools in D.C. The same ones I went to. Therefore, your entire post is not only wrong, but dishonestly so. If liberals supported public education, they would send their own children to public schools. In large part they do not. Especially in the areas of the country most need of reform. Why do you think that's case Koan? Why did Barack Obama choose an exclusive private school in D.C. for his children? Why do Plutocrat liberals in Manhattan and Chicago send their kids to private schools?

>> How come we have no trouble, but you conservatives do? This is an absurd remark.

If liberals are so smart then how do you explain this: Obama set to name Summers as Fed chief: report By Carla Mozee LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- U.S. President Barack Obama plans to name former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers as the next chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board of Governors, according to a report Friday by Japanese newspaper Nikkei, which cited unnamed sources. An announcement is expected as early as late next week, following the conclusion of the Fed's policy meeting on Wednesday. Treasury Undersecretary Lael Brainard, who served as an economic adviser under the Clinton administration, will likely be named the central bank's vice chairman, the Nikkei said. Summers would succeed Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, whose term expires in January. Summers and current Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen had been considered the front-runners to become the Fed's next chief.

"We liberals produce the most scientists." What is a scientist? Is one judged by having a BS degree? Is it judged by having at least an MS degree? Does working in a government funded research job count? I would love to know the politics of people who work in the pure sciences that are not on the government dole. Let you me give you a story Charles. In Chem E School we had our own professors for our chemistry classes. When it came time to take Analytical Chem our prof was on a sabbatical. We had one of the profs from the college of Arts and Sciences. To his credit - he told us that our class of engineering students was the best prepared he had ever had. And oh yes - the College of Arts and Sciences lived in a big old brick building. We called it the "Big Rock Candy Mountain". So Mr. koan - what is a scientist and why the hell should we care about what most of them think?
