A special dedication for this week’s travelin’ music
This guy I know — I’ll call him “Boose” — is getting married this weekend for the first time, just two days short of his 50th birthday. The man held out for a long, long time, but the once impregnable citadel of his bachelorhood finally met a conquering force it could not resist in the great and powerful Miss LK.
So Boose my man, this week’s Friday Evening Travelin’ Music is dedicated to you, courtesy of the inimitable Miss Nina Simone. And don’t worry, bro, I’ll be standing right there beside you when the deed gets done.
The ceremony, that is.

That’s an issue I have with Obama. The man has probably the greatest opportunity anyone has had in a long, long time. He’s doing the exact same thing everyone else has done by bowing to the corporate masters. His preaching will come back to haunt him if he doesn’t practice what he preaches.

I was wondering myself why they scheduled this game. Seems like they wanted to scrimmage to prepare for Auburn but didn’t want to beat the crap out of each other.

**1) “fair” housing and cheap loans (Democrat pipe dreams) assisted in this collapse when Republicans wanted to increase Fannie/Freddie regulations (just ask Democrat Barney “there is no financial crisis” Frank), and 2), the false economy that boomed over the past 20 years was just that.**
Isn’t it funny that the presentation of that simple fact always ends that debate?

I think the entitlement program that Perry alludes to is Medicare Part D for seniors. I don’t know about you, but I think seniors have made their contributions throughout their long-lived lives. Now they’re fixing to have them taken away by Obama.

I see vouchers like this. They are like repainting the ceiling to cover the water leaking thru the roof. It makes the ceiling look good, but it doesn’t fix the problem of the leaky roof. The vouchers will help people get into better schools to get a better education, but why not just repair the schools themselves. I never thought about it until I heard someone mention it here, but the federal funding of education as opposed to local funding may be an approach worth investigating. Removing low and non performing teachers and merit pay may help. However, the most important thing that can be done has to be done at home. If the parents or guardians don’t get involved in what the child is or is not learning, they’re crippling the child for life.
DFCS will take a child out of the home if the parents starve the child by not feeding it. Why won’t they do that if the parents are starving the child’s brain?
btw, Terrell Owens played at UTC. However, the SOB won’t even acknowledge he’s a native Alabamian. The Jerk!!

I agree with most of your post, but no one is addressing the question of redistribution of opportunity. The voucher program is a solution to some children. When other solutions are implemented, not used as vote-getters, let’s get rid of the voucher programs. But right now, why on earth would you or anyone else want to deny these kids a (agreed) rare opportunity for a good future. “We aren’t doing anything, so everyone should suffer” is not an argument.
That’s like saying about my education” “The county schools in that area suck so let’s shut down the one shining star”. if that was the attitude, I would be a used car salesman or working at a 7-11. I received a music and an academic scholarship that enabled me to attend a good university. I made Bs and Cs and my cousins made As, but they couldn’t get in a school. And they certainly couldn’t get a scholarship.
I talked to a teacher at a party last Saturday night and she also said that the lack of parental involvement was a huge problem. I pointed out that low income families often had one parent and that one parent often worked two jobs. That problem is not going to go away and needs to be addressed instead of just saying, “The parents won’t come to the PTA meetings or help their kids with their homework. so the kids are screwed. Next problem.”
I’ll mention this one example again: The number one academic high school in America last year was Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Intercity school with a very large Black population. And yes, that was the school that the Republican president sent in the National Guard to fight against Norval Forbus, a Democratic Governor who was refusing entrance to the “Little Rock Nine.”
What are they now doing right? We make those kinds of schools models and pass that knowledge around.
But first we need to elect leaders that don’t profit from the poverty of others. And I believe that this means the demise of the Democratic Party.

I don’t want to deny anyone any possible opportunity. My disagreement with the vouchers is that some people portray them as a penicillin of sorts to our education problem. I think they are a step in the right direction. However, why take a step when we should be changing directions altogether?
The teacher you talked to is right on point. One parent households are at a huge disadvantage, but there has to be someone else in that child’s life. I read to my daughter on a daily basis. We work on shapes, letters, numbers, colors, or anything she picks up. She’s only 15mos old, but I hope to have her writing 5 paragraph essays by the time she hits kindergarten. That’s the attitude parents should have, and I think a child suffers if the parents feel any less than that.
You’re a good example of that. Had your parents or guardians been completely out to lunch when it came to your education, you may not have been able to take advantage of the opportunity that was presented to you. We can’t make the education system take the full blame on the problems. Parents need to be man/woman enough to admit to their failures and work to remedy them.

**However, why take a step when we should be changing directions altogether?**
Because there are kids that will benefit. And if we wait until the situation is better, those kids will miss that opportunity. Please give me a reason why those kids should miss that opportunity?
I envy you having that little girl. There is nothing that can compare to teaching your child. Wait until she is older and comes in smiling with those report cards. Your chest will not contain your heart.
My parents were divorced in 1958. My mother worked second shift and I only saw her on the weekend. We lived with my Grandmother who had no formal education. The school system filled in the gaps. I stayed at school and participated in after school programs where I could do my homework and have someone there to help me. Now after school programs let kids play basketball in an effort to keep them out of trouble. We need to raise those expectations.
Again, we agree to disagree. Didn’t know that about UTC football, but I am still going to give my Bama-fan buddy hell about the game. it’s good you guys can take a week and not play your starters the whole game.

When Democrats stop gaining power by the increasing numbers of poverty stricken poor people in this country, we are on our way to equality. But they are gaining huge amounts of powder right now on the backs of poor Americans and as per usual, poor Black people are getting it worse than anyone.
NIF- democrats don’t care what color their government dependent paupers are, they just want more of them. They are hellbent on doubling their impoverished underclass. They entice more and more people every freaking day of the year to give up on their own lives and just let nanny state take care of your every need. A 250 dollar check here, free health care there, extend unemployment benefits, there is no promise the democrats can make that successful are unable to pay.
Only when you descend into their wonderworld, living in perpetual poverty, raising children who get cheated out of an education and become a permanent fixture on the street corner until they get shot to death or die of disease at an early age, when you have absolutely nothing, emptiness, no hope, no future, mired in despair, then the democrats send out some prophet to promise you more of the same.
It is beyond pitiful, and is why I laugh when I hear a liberal say that they “care.”
And anybody with half a brain would notice the more despondent they get, the richer the democrats in government become, along with their union and lawyer buddies.
Taking food out of their voters mouths to pay off special interests.

America’s enemies have figured out that the Superbower is their best opportunity since their Seventies, and for America’s friends the short version of the hopeychangey era to date is last week’s cover story at the London Spectator showing an empty suit in the Oval Office over the headline “The Worst Kind Of Ally.”
Hang on, wasn’t that title retired with Bush? Well, no. Apparently, he routinely called up prime ministers hither and yon and kept them in the picture and up to speed. Obama doesn’t have time for any of that: When he stiffed Poland on missile defense, he got Hillary to phone it in. The Poles, bless ‘em, declined to take her call. In Delhi, meanwhile, they’re horrified by Obama’s performance in China. America’s enemies smell weakness, and our allies feel only the vacuum of U.S. leadership. About himself, the president speaks loudly. For America, he carries a small twig.-Mark Steyn

Look at health care and it’s already codified twisted sister SChip. That’s great. You scammed a couple hunnard bucks out of Government.duh. So where did that money come from? From the successful, which is a concept way, way over the head of your average dingbat liberal. So now the successful have less money, the economy shrinks, more people become unemployed. And now we have more people to entice into our burgeoning underclass of permanent poverty. Typical life long loser democrat was never employed and is already a charter member of the team, so offering up health care to someone who already has Medicaid is pointless. Let them suffer, we got focus our efforts on this whole new class that is on the verge of becoming total failures. Health care is perfect. Plus, more money is extracted from the successful to pay for it, and they can start the whole vicious cycle over again. What will be next, free routine maintenance for your automobile?

I was also section leader of the percussion section in the band and captain of or scholar’s bowl team. Financially, school was a struggle for me, but I had a great work ethic instilled early in my life. That’s what I see as missing from this generation of children. I’ve volunteered as a mentor and tutor just to help instill that kind of drive in children. My current job doesn’t give me the free time to do that, but I still help tutor my neices.

True. But I’m curious if they’re counting sales in the same manner that the music industry does. It doesn’t matter to me one way or another. A CD can be called platinum if they ship 1 million copies. I hope her book does well. I wish her well. I’m just tickled by all the chest thumping going on as if every conservative in the country had a hand in writing, editing, or publishing the book.

@@,
I’m sorry. I thought you and Semper were renovating some houses you bought. You mentioned what sounded like a great plan one time. Sounded good to me. I have renovated two little homes, one sold to a relative and one rented to a relative. The first house was a real mess but turned out pretty cute. Removed sagging additions on two sides, a theater ticket window in the living room, a tacked-up wall furnace in a closet, and all such as that. The second house which was next door just needed old carpet off the hardwood floors and a kitchen redo and a few other things. Now they are among the cutest homes on the street and the whole place is a nice international neighborhood with a lot of charm.
Anyway, I had fun with those two and thought you were launching on such a project. But I and others still work on my own home. (I tiled both bathrooms here..) Just got a new oven this week after the old one burned out. That was after the icemaker stopped working and the phone and computer were out for four days. It was not a good ten days there. I still have my fingers crossed, Like …what’s next???

It’s all that weed you’ve smoked. I said “Newsmax” was selling the book for $4.95.
Geez. 1st grade reading comprehension. It’s really simple.
Noun: Newsmax
verb: selling
Nowhere did I say Palin was selling the book cheap.

Vodka has no taste or smell. If you’re tasting it, you’re drinking cheaply filtered vodka.

Roll Tide? I wondered what that meant.
By the way, they attempt to count book sales as actual purchases rather than orders to distributors like the music business. Groups like Newsmax, or the DNC that buys up lib books to pass out for free, that buy in bulk for a promo offer like they’re doing usually count as sold orders when they get them since they have been purchased.

It only took Obozo 8 years to sell 2.5 million copies of his two books if that helps.
Yeah, but I had lots of TP then, too…

“I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop in the banking industry as well now that Congress has decided that irresponsible consumers should no longer be forced to pay overdraft fees. They’re going to have to make that loss up somewhere, so like the credit card companies they are going to sock it to their good customers now that the deadbeats have a free pass.
Thanks for nothing, Libs. All this “fairness” you guys voted for is coming home to roost.”
Of course consumers don’t “want” to pay overdraft fees. You don’t seem to have a very good grasp on this issue at all…
What happens is, when a “consumer” writes a check, and the check is presented for payment, the bank pays the check whether theres money in there or not. If there is an insufficient balance in the account and the check gets paid, there is not a SINGLE overdraft fee charged. The kind and generous bankerman will take and back out every debit purchase that’s been made til the balance is enough to pay the check, and THEN the fine bastion of capitalism will take and charge said consumer an overdraft fee for EACH and EVERY debit transaction reversed, and charge an overdraft fee for the check.
All of this instead of simply not paying a check presented when the balance is insufficient, and then charging ONE single overdraft fee.
Oh, BTW they will bounce that check initially if they feel they can’t mine your account for numerous fees as described above.

NEW YORK — Radio talk show host and political commentator Rush Limbaugh (search) stunned listeners when he admitted that he is addicted to painkillers (search).
“You know I have always tried to be honest with you and open about my life,” Limbaugh said Friday on his program. “So I need to tell you today that part of what you have heard and read is correct. I am addicted to prescription pain medication.”
Limbaugh said he began taking the medication “some years ago” when his doctor prescribed it after spinal surgery, to treat post-operation pain.
Thou hypocrisy is stunning, al gitmo.
But not surprising!
