@Blast:

So, you’re now making up the rules around here, taking over FA are you? Perhaps you should type up all your rules and post them in the side bar.

Again, thanks for the smile you put on my face at the end of a long day — with
your response today on an innocuous story about a third grade teacher’s observations.

You seem to be unable to carry on a decent conversation without twisting, spinning,
ad hominem attacks, strawmen, etc…yup you are a Lib!

Since you have all the answers to everything-all the time and everyone else is always
wrong about everything-eternally…why aren’t you standing up and running for office.

Surely the masses would marvel in your glorious pontifications and start singing
praises to you…maybe even an appearance of children singing your praises on CNN!

You need to get a life…get out much? Life is too short to be so bitter….go enjoy
Costa Rica — looks absolutely beautiful and restorative!

@Missy, I was not speaking to you. If you want to join the conversation, then read the requisite comments and be informed, just like the NEJM you never really read the details to really know what is going on.

Good grief, do you really think third graders would ask such a question or have any idea of what a leading Republican would have said? You are really going off the deep end, now you are talking just to be talking, making sense doesn’t appear to matter much.

@ American Voter, re: “One Of The Best Explanations Of Why Obama Won The Election
From a teacher in the Nashville area”

I wonder what the teacher said when the children asked why the Republicans lost both houses of Congress… this on the cusp of a leading Republican saying there would be a “permanent” Republican majority.

Oh, I know… the people lost confidence in Republicans and voted them out of office.

@aqua — definitely parallel feelings !!

hopefully the 2010, 2012 election outcome will be determined by voters who finally figured out the “ice cream promised was not free” or that the “packaging did not represent the contents.”

@ American Voter

That was perfect. And dead on. Kind of reminds you of Peggy Joseph

A like-minded acquaintance just sent me the following link to a very brief story that I believe will be interesting to FA Readers.

A civics lesson taught to a third grade teacher by her students…could it really be this simple? Food for thought.

We all knew about Senator Present…now President Present.

What a shame. I wonder how many of our soldier’s votes were not counted in the 2008 election.

Johnson says the absentee voting process is broken: “So bad is it that in 2006, in a report done by the Election Assistance Commission in the Department of Defense Inspector General’s Office, they estimate that only 5.5 percent of the military and overseas civilians were actually able to cast a ballot that counted in the 2006 elections — and that’s pretty sad.”
