GOOD! - Tomorrow we’ll do Nancy Pelosi
From page 132 of the Teacher’s Manual for the Everyday Mathematics course curriculum:
The authors of Everyday Mathematics do not believe it is worth students’ time and efforts to fully develop highly efficient paper and pencil algorithms for all possible whole-number, fraction and decimal division problems. Mastery of the intricacies of such algorithms is a huge endeavor, one that experience tells us is doomed to failure for many students. It is simply counter productive to invest many hours of precious class time on such algorithms. The mathematical payoff is not worth the cost, particularly because quotients can be quickly and accurately found with a calculator.
Every single word of that explanation is truly disgusting. Its no wonder we are falling behind DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.
why independent voters are stupid.
I have never really understood why you can possibly be an undecided voter, but this article kind of proves the point of my blog post - inadvertently of course.
Speaking of the persuadable voters:
“These tend to be people with a lower level of knowledge about the election; they don’t follow politics as closely,” said Michael McDonald, a political science professor from George Mason University who studies voting behavior. “If they can’t distinguish between the candidates at this stage, the question is if they will vote.”
Well that’s pretty self explanatory. If you can’t distinguish the difference between candidates or sort through fact and fiction in news - then you probably shouldn’t vote. But it goes on to state:
Persuadable voters don’t differ noticeably from those who have made up their minds by gender, age or education, though more of them report feeling stress from personal debt, according to the poll.
Ok, so these “persuadables” choose not to become educated (or do not have the capacity or patience to do so) and they run their personal lives like children who have parents who never say no. great.
Can you spot me?

Are a few activists on the Right getting out of hand? Probably. Between massive ACORN voter fraud, Bill Ayers’ and Jeremiah Wright’s unrepentant hatred of America, and John McCain’s inability to nail Barack Obama on his longtime alliances with all of the above, conservatives have plenty to shout about these days.
But a couple of random catcallers do not a “mob” make. And there’s an overflowing abundance of electoral rage on the Left that won’t make it onto your newspaper’s front page.
There isn’t a better article to read in order to understand how “journalistic narrative” is just another way of saying “fascism”. Sure there is much to be desired in the way stories are reported, to often devoid of any disinterested explanation. At least unbalanced reporting can be challenged. But really, even more dangerous, is what’s not reported. By leaving out important happenings, large media outlets really do have control over what the public thinks is reality. How can you challenge if you don’t know it happened?
Plumber to Obama: “Your new tax plan is going to tax me more. Isn’t it?”
Obama: “It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too. I think that when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
you know, I paid a lot of money for points to lock in my low rate….and now the government decided they should be able to dictate a) interest rates, b) loan agreements and worst of all c) loan principle amounts on all the trouble mortgages.
so in a nut shell, ass-tards who didn’t put any money down on houses that were too expensive with money from interest only loans will be able to refinance (without cost) to a low fixed-rate and perhaps have the cost of the principal slashed. Hey bitches in congress - i want my points back AND that low rate, and while you’re at it, why don’t you arbitrarily hack my principle down by 25%.
i could perhaps compromise on arbitrating the loan interest rate and terms, like rolling all past due mortgage payments into the loan amount and cutting the interest rate in return for increasing the loan term in order to bring down the monthly payment - at least then the idiots would still be responsible for the money they said they’d pay - it would just take a bit longer for them to do so.
…but the loan amount - even with shady loan practices (which i think is a pretty sad excuse for being a retard) is the most obvious number for anyone - it’s the purchase price of the house….how can you ever be confused about how much you will be paying in principle on anything - “hey how much are you selling that widget for?” - “$10,000″ - “ok, i’ll have to figure out how to finance that amount.” the straight answer? The principle amount!
why is france all of the sudden feeling more american than america?
