BTW, did anyone else feel serious anger about Bush videoconferencing into the RNC using the brand (and budget) of the White House. Where I live, you are not allowed to use the taxpayers dime to support political campaigning - even if you come from the party in power. Is there a different rule in the US?K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-71831354250059371572008-09-05T01:52:00.000-04:002008-09-05T01:52:00.000-04:00Thanks, Katlin, we are fighting the good fight.

Yet I am not surprised; our group of blogging friends is always the best and brightest.<BR/><BR/>ENC, AP is a dying style. You come by it honestly and should use it with pride.<BR/><BR/>Does anyone write his own speeches these days? Last I heard this was one of the last non-minimum-wage jobs out there, if you can snag one.Suzanna Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608476858881481560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-89720428933355548482008-09-05T01:47:00.000-04:002008-09-05T01:47:00.000-04:00You break it down so well! And I agree about the e...You break it down so well! And I agree about the education part. I think that what students experience in HS is also true for college. Last school year I was on exchange in Oregon and I felt like my classes were challenging, but I still wanted to learn more from my teacher's own personal experiences. For the most part, they taught stuff right out of the book and rarely veered off what the course was about. Then, I come back to Hawai'i and my classes are even less challenging! Most of my teachers are from the Mainland, so maybe the laid back attitude we have here dumbs down their lesson plan. Or maybe it's because I read a lot of stuff and keep myself educated through the internet... but I feel like the stuff they talk about are stuff that I can pull up on the Internet! Your content is far more stimulating and thought provoking than any of the lectures I've had in school today (and there were five)!KATLINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039736276176136973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-9555367818574514822008-09-05T01:35:00.000-04:002008-09-05T01:35:00.000-04:00Do you think McCain is writing his own speeches?
