		<description>Poor, pitiful, Faik--

I just want him to translate a date into his native language as some evidence that he is who he says he is, and I&#039;m a &quot;bully&quot; and a &quot;trash talker.&quot;

1984 in Spanish &quot;diecinueve otro cuatro.&quot;

How hard is that?

What I love is seeing how the weasel behind Faik has to contort himself dizzy to squirm out of it . . . very entertaining.

		<description>Golly, Galahad&#039;s an expert at all the Turkmen languages, too.  Gets his info from a few websites and thinks he can bully Faik with it.  I agree with Bob, the trash talk here is bad.

		<description>Hey, I&#039;ve got an idea.  Why doesn&#039;t Puny Augustus just quit with all the fake personas and just post his own point of view like everybody else?

Then we could dispense with all the crap, couldn&#039;t we.

		<description>Heh, nice try.  But again the truth raises is unpleasant head--

&quot;The Turkish as spoken in Turkey actually is only one of many Turkic languages, but they are all very closely related and generally speakers of one of these languages can communicate with speakers of another related one. This implies that if you know some (basic) Turkish you can more or less get around all the way from Turkey to Mongolia: in general, in many of the countries along the old Silk Road.&quot;

For instance, the numbers one through ten in Turkish are almost identical to Turkmen.

		<description>Well, Bob,

Since you don&#039;t argue at all, I can understand your hesitation.

Get with it or get out.

Puny Boy, I wondered how you were going to finesse your way out of this one.

Thanks for a good laugh, you utter fraud.

		<description>I&#039;ll take that one bob.

I think Galahad and XXX are acquitting themselves fine here. The subject was the choice of Corkins. (Who you by the way do not even mention) The talk was of teachers. Now Falk (or whoever he will appear as next) you perhaps? demeans teachers. You pay lip to a system that &quot;hammers down the good teachers, forcing to take better jobs&quot;

bob? Corkins has absolutely no experience in education. (well unless you count trying to dismantle it)  He was selected over four other candidates each having extensive education experience, including in classroom. If we need someone who can relate to teachers, I&#039;m not thinking Corkins meets the bill.  What say you bob?

And you will forgive XXX Galahad, myself and others our frustration with &quot;Flak&quot; or was it fake.....er falk. It gets a little frustrating dealing with folks who do nothing more than lie (Abrams), change their identities (Connie Morris) and toss bombs. But I gotta go bob. You keep looking for flakes .......er I mean Falks answer to  Galahads question. I know I will be.

Sheesh a Turkish immigrant that can&#039;t speak Turkish. Is my memory failing me or wasn&#039;t B August a woman?

		<description>I understand Faik&#039;s confusion as to why teachers are &#039;bottom of the barrel&#039;.  It&#039;s more the fact that all the good teachers get hammered down by the system and go to a job where the stress and work is less, appreciation is higher, and the pay adequate.  There are a few good teachers out there, just like there are a few good priests.  Some actually believe in what they&#039;re doing.But, as for Galahad and XXX the method of arguing your point is not too dissimilar to what the school board is doing that you profess to have such profound grievance with.  Or is it they just don&#039;t agree with you?

		<description>Give the Whackjobs on the State BOE credit: they won&#039;t let a little thing like credibility get in the way of advancing their pro-market agenda.

Sunday&#039;s guest editorial from John LaPlante of the Flint Hills public policy &#039;think tank&#039; (read: spin whores paid by big capital) was well-timed; I imagine it will be Corkins&#039; playbook for the next year.  Nice job using the media by the BOE to set up the announcement of Corkins.

I&#039;d love to see phone logs from the state BOE to the FHCPP.

		<description>It is tempting to resort to paranoia and think that Connie, Abrams, et al. are out to so severely discredit the Board of Education that voters will insist upon disbanding it.  In today&#039;s Eagle - Mike Everhart suggests this action.  But one has to show signs of intelligence to put together a conspiracy -- so, I guess I will have to find a different delusion.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is tempting to resort to paranoia and think that Connie, Abrams, et al. are out to so severely discredit the Board of Education that voters will insist upon disbanding it.  In today&#8217;s Eagle &#8211; Mike Everhart suggests this action.  But one has to show signs of intelligence to put together a conspiracy &#8212; so, I guess I will have to find a different delusion.</p>

		<description>This action by the KS BOE is the equivalent of giving the citizens of Kansas the finger, while cackling &quot;. . . and your little dog, too.&quot;

The outrageousness of this is UNBELIEVABLE!!!

		<description>Corkins&#039;s selection is an affront due to more than the mere fact that he is unqualified.  He is the former leader of the Flint Hills Center - read the anti-tax propoganda arm of Koch Industries.  His selection would be like putting Karl Peterhead - oops, excuse me - Peterjohn in as the commissioner of education, or Hitler as chairman of the Jewish Defense League.  Just incredible!

I thought at first that, in an uncharacteristic way, Phillip was over-reacting with the above entry.  Having read more, I don&#039;t think so.

There has to be a way to recall these bums - voting them out is insufficient!

		<description>Thank God!  Ian hates public education.

Every time you post something really vile about blacks, Jews, and Hispanos, be sure to include that you&#039;re a conservative and you hate public education.

Never change, bro.

		<description>Fake--

Teachers are less qualified because under the American system it&#039;s a somewhat demeaning job and the pay sucks.

I taught high-school for two years as a full-time teacher before I bailed.  What with the rah-rah-sis-boom-bah, the lunch duty, the constant bookkeeping and the low pay, it just wasn&#039;t worth it to me.

You and Andy should get together.  Maybe you guys can play cards or something at 2:30 in the morning . . .
