[quote]Remember that the Republicans are for Party first, country second.[/quote]And the Dems aren't? What makes them so different?

Republican politicians and Democratic politicians are different? Yeah, right. Bluebloods all cut from the same cloth. Keep on telling yourself otherwise though, the power elite love useful idiots. Just don't be shocked when a Dem gets the nod saying one thing but in the end turns out being just like Bush (i.e. business as usual). The elites pay for the presidency and their needs (i.e. Our National Interests) trump the needs of "We the People".

Both sides are power first, party second, people last.

Hillary Clinton and her forked tongue. Did she mention her upcoming 20/20 special with Billy Graham, the Bushes, and her hubby? Those entrenched establishments types, they truly are "different" from one another, aren't they?

I wonder if Bill Clinton and George Bush, Sr. came up with the idea while at Bohemian Grove or some other secret elite pervert retreat? I mean, didn't you know that Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton are BFFs now that they don't have to pretend that they are on different teams? Bush and Clinton even go golfing together, in fact, that is probably where George and Bill talk about the good ol' days of smuggling drugs for the CIA.

All Hillary "Goldwater Girl" Clinton cares about is power. She will tell you whatever you want to hear as long as she gets the nod. Just don't expect her to give up any of these newfound executive powers, or for her to diminish the role of the (police) state in the lives of ordinary Americans or get rid of unnecessary Departments like DHS. Expect her to take what the foundations that the neocons have laid and build upon it. In fact, I imagine she will find a new way to sugarcoat her words so that the Establishment's warmongering are carried on the wings of a dove. More "spreading democracy abroad" and leaving out the "from the air with bombs" part, just like Bush.

The Dems should just hand the country over to King George and Queen Cheney

Don't you mean King Cheney and Queen Bush?

What are the Democrats afraid of? The only they are afraid of is offending their money masters, not the people. Right now they are just fulfilling prophecies:

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1960

If Kerry won 2004, things would be better right now, because Democrats and Republicans are different.

LOLLERSKATES! ROFLCOPTER DOWN! LAWLOLOLOLOLOL!

You can't be serious. Take your blinders off. Bush v. Kerry went like this:

I am voting for:

[ ] - Blue-blooded Skull and Bones Member George Bush (any Bush will do)

[ ] - Blue-blooded Skull and Bones Member John Kerry

The Establishment thrives on useful idiocy and wedge issue bickering.

I hope it has some practical math applications for young women in it. Such as knowing how many cups of laundry detergent to use per load, and the ability to use fractions and rational numbers to solve lifes difficult problems, such as "how much detergent would I need if 1 cup does 1 load, but I am only doing half a load?" Knowing how many teaspoons is in a tablespoon and the ability to determine how many complete vacuuming cycles per vacuum bag needed are useful as well.

You know, the important things in life.

If she really wants to help kids learn math maybe she should look into doing it the old fashioned way, through physics, or a more modern way, through computers (and video games). Or maybe she should write a book teaching these kids parents that math is not gross and to encourage their kids in it instead of praising deviate behavior (e.g. "math is for geeks") and showering them with slutty clothes and accessories from the mall.

I guess she is trying to get girls that would normally be into shopping malls and pink frills into math? Hmmm, methinks that if the child is superficial to the point that it requires materialistic fluff to get them involved, then they lack the innate curiosity and drive regarding natural phenomena to pursue it seriously. Without that drive I fail to see how to keep them interested long term (or how they will stay interested), when they are through talking about the shopping mall and are dealing with abstract notions like ring theory.

Perhaps maybe the problem is not with girls not liking math but with their parents raising them to be superficial, materialistic little bratz who feel that paying attention to "geeky" subjects like math (or any subjects for that matter) is beneath them. It should come as no surprise that the parents attitude towards mathematics is similar (i.e. "ew, math").

Perhaps it is not the the girls that need to realize that math is "cool", but their families and society as a whole for that matter. Telling people you have a degree in math is met 9 times out of ten with, "ew, math" from adults and children alike.

Didn't ya know? Pelosi said that Impeachment is off the table and AIPAC is OK with that. Sorry gang, maybe next time. Prime up those tactical nukes, boys, I'll see you in Tehran!
