Recently discovered "shyster". Starting to become a huge fan. Gotta love that bitter cynicism tied to a dogged determination to a maintain a sense of humor in the face of what is inarguably a human tragedy of epic proportions unfolding right under our collective political nose.

Perfect antidote to the incessant , asinine babble gushing from the Obama-Romney-Duncan-Gingrich-Gates-Walmart edu-industrial complex.

Enjoy.

Shed a few tears first. But then, enjoy.

"Research shows" it'll do ya' good.

Cheap labor.

If the "reform" bloc would just say what they really mean instead of playing linguistic hopscotch we could at least have an honest discussion.

That's the LAST thing they want.
