Once these kids...

Making you go hmmm...

Jeff Sessions (R-AL), ranking minority member of the Senate Budget Committee, called for a full investigation into how the nation's schools were able to secure the necessary funds to monitor teachers and pay salaries based on performance.

"The fact that this careless mistake also ended up financing new teacher training programs, allowing educators to become more than just glorified babysitters, is disgraceful," Sessions said. "Now we are left with a situation where schools can attract talented professionals who really want to teach our children, which will in turn create smarter and more motivated students who wish to one day make a contribution to society."

"In all my years in government I have never seen such a shameful error," Sessions added. "Our appropriations process has gone horribly awry, and I for one demand to know how it happened."

If they did start putting their points this blatantly, how many people would actually notice?

It's certainly true a lot of people have become confused to a degree they'd probably think that was the right thing to do. yoooesssaay!

Did you ever dream the Onion's news comments would get so close to reality?

The two do seem to have inched together, yeah.

BTW, there seems to have been some mischief brewing with Blogger in the past couple of days, so I'm relieved that you're comment wasn't erased.

I'm glad that didn't happen too. Happily for me, the comments that got erased were still in email so I copy-pasted them back.
