Governmental Brilliance!!

Finally, we discover why liberals have struggled with improving public education and proven unable to deal with out-of-control spending. It's just plain stupidity. Why else would the Democrats in the Michigan State Legislature, with a State budget deficit of over $1 billion, decide that giving every child an iPod would be a good idea? No, seriously, the Democrats in the Michigan State House actually proposed a bill, this past week, which would make it State law that every school child receive an iPod or an MP3 player, courtesy of the State Government.

And you thought Grandma was spoiling your kid!

Aside from the obvious qualms one might have about wasting money buying kids iPods when you have a one billion dollar deficit on your hands, please take note of the fact that these Democrats are trying to argue that such a policy would, in fact, be beneficial to Michigan children's education.

Because, you know, listening to a bunch of rap music about sex with 'hos, smoking pot and gun violence will surely improve the kids' SAT scores.

Oh wait, maybe they just want all the kids to have an opportunity to listen to Bob Dylan, with the hopes that 7th graders will proceed to skip class and go protest George Bush's eeeeevil foreign policy.

Just think of the educational possibilities......

Nah, come to think of it, they're just f*#@ing morons.
