      <![CDATA[Concerned teacher's comments are right on. While teachers work (way too) hard and students are faced with many obstacles, legislatures and school boards are determined to blame them for failure while they continue to support budget cuts and mandate disruption of education for saying 'fuck' in the hallway.

      <![CDATA[It must be in the wingnut DNA to simply not know how to conjugate and punctuate simple English grammar correctly. There are some traits that seem to be unique to Wingnut English: frequent but not consistent capitalization of nouns, quote marks in odd places, grocer's apostrophes, run-on sentences, breaking compound nouns into multiple words (ie, "Wingnut" becomes "Wing nut"; "byline" becomes "by-line"), and of course, totally misplaced commas.<br>
<br>
Since that's the case, allow me to translate what I just wrote into Wingnut: <br>
<br>
It mustbe in teh Wing nut D,N,A to simply not.Know how to conjugate, And punctuate, simple english grammer correctly.

      <![CDATA[MinAZ: Believe me, I'm not fan of the minority in the legislature either, and their general failure to make note of these terrible bills or to do much to stop them is an embarrassment to my former party of choice.<br>
<br>
However, the Dems aren't writing laws (or having lobbyists write them on their behalf) that actually stand a chance of passing right now. Absolutely, we get what we pay for with legislators, but I'd prefer they try to just do nothing and collect a meager check than pass some of the crap that's in committee right now.

      <![CDATA[Dis: Admittedly, I made a mistake with the first sentence, so that has been corrected. However, it is amusing that you chose to use that as part of your diatribe considering your strange use of punctuation, capitalization and sentence structure.

      <![CDATA[As usual Dan is showing his ass. Which he is very proud of,as that is where he keeps his little itty,bitty brain.<br>
<br>
The fact that he cahoots with Charles P. Pierce,and only posts when he believes he has a clear line to his lib,prog,dem overlords agenda is not only,NOT surprising but also is simply par for the course.<br>
<br>
He is also a boob when it comes to english.

      <![CDATA[So what's your solution, Dan, an emasculated party like the democrats in AZ? You're too content to rile a party under whose leadership the budget was finally balanced.
