...and poor parenting skills.
An article on the so-called Autism Epidemic.
This is exactly what happens when someone manages to evoke political action, and get excessive taxpayer funding, and mobilize it in the "fight" against a perceived-but-not-all-that-prevalent a problem: you suddenly get more of it.

Re-mem-mem-ber When...
This past weekend I was subjected to an ordeal which included two of the things I hate the most in life.
The first was four hours of doo-wop music.
The second was extremely close proximity to somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,000 Baby Boomers.
What followed was perhaps the most boring and obnoxious four hours of my entire life.

25 Things The Next Republican President Must Do...
And when I say "must do", I really mean must. Like before anything else. Ten seconds after taking the oath of office and ensuring that the Obama's haven't stolen the White House silverware.
This list assumes two things:
a) Mitt Romney defeats Barack Odouchebag in November, and
b) The GOP retains it's majority in the House, and gets one in the Senate
Otherwise, this is all academic.
So, here's my list of the the Top 25 Things The Next Republican President Must Do (in no particular order):

Seven Reasons Why Barack Obama Will Be Remembered As The Worst President Ever....
Pity Barack Obama. No, seriously...you should.
It can't be easy to be the President of the United States, particularly at this point in history: there is economic turmoil; the country is embroiled in three wars; political will in this country is divided and misdirected; you're married to that walking menstrual cycle.
If there's anything that our Commander-in-Chump is probably thankful for, it has to be an electorate that's too stupid to realize either it's true priorities or the depths of it's own stupidity. That is, after all, how he got elected in the first place.

The Presidential Q&A I'd Love To Hear....
The Scene: President Frequent-Flyer-Miles has just hopped off the golf course, and is attending another of those staged-political-event-cum-Nuremberg-rallies of his, this time in the crucial swing state of (insert name of state with large percentage of complete doofuses who voted for this jerkoff the last time around). He is introduced by the local democratic congresscritter with a gusto that is entirely forced, and probably lubricated by at least a fifth of Johnny Walker Black, and enters the room to the sounds of free-malt-liquor-and-skittles-enhanced applause from a crowd of people who wouldn't understand a word he will eventually say if you gave them a continuous, three-week-long Miriam-Webster enema beforehand.

This Is Why The Public Schools Suck, Part VII...
I really do hate to pile it on, but sometimes things just happen in a certain way as to preclude the possibility of just letting something rest and perhaps fade into the background after a spell. This week, the New York City Department of Education has done some truly stupid things -- banning words that might hurt people's feelings, reinstating school bus services it cancelled despite court orders not to, rejecting tried-and-proven reading systems so as to not show the true depths of the incompetence of it's battalions of overpaid-unqualified teachers -- that there's no way in hell that some things will ever get to die a natural death.
What follows is a synopsis of a discussion I had with my sister last night regarding my junior-high-school-aged nephew's history assignment.
UPDATE: Great response to this post. I'm asking everyone who has a child in a public school, but especially in a New York City -- and specifically on Staten Island -- to pass this post on to everyone you think might be interested...and to the so-called Chancellor of Schools, himself. I'm assuming he'll be able to read it without his lips moving.
Also, if you're intrested in whatever else the City of New york has failed do to educationally, as well as learning about the stupidity of the public workforce entrusted with your child's education, simply click the Education and Public Schools tags at the bottom of this post.
Thanks much!

When The People Are Watching...
...politicians and bureaucrats live in fear.
With regards to an earlier post about sucky public schools in New York City:
New York City School nitwits reverse "word ban" policy.
The reason this policy has been 'reversed" (the official snake oil was that the original ban was never a ban in the sense of being, you know, a ban, but rather a set of "recommendations") is because the general public was made aware of just what sort of dumbass, borderline psychotics are charged with their children's education, and what they were trying to do in the name of Political Correctness.
People: 1, Educrap Union: 0
At least until next time.
UPDATE: Bad link is now fixed.

This is Why The Public Schools Suck, Part V...
Teacher’s unions against a phonics-based reading program that works, as opposed to the current trend in “education: which is to take the taxpayer’s money and run, leaving behind legions of stupid children to choke on your dust cloud.
Then again, it has been noted before in a millions studies on the subject that it’s generally well-known in academic circles that a majority of “education majors” were often themselves the worst college students, and the reason they became education majors – usually after changing majors at least once – is because it’s too easy to achieve a watered-down degree and then an iron-clad-almost-job-for-life public-sector job.
A job, incidentally, which only requires that you be able to pass a dumbed-down qualification exam written at a third grade reading level (because otherwise many minority applicants couldn’t pass it, and who wants to deal with the predictable civil rights lawsuits?).
Your average teacher is no better qualified than your garbage man to teach your children math and reading, and every bit as overpaid.
This is but yet one more reason to break the government monopoly on education in this country.
UPDATE: If you wish to read even more about the insanity taking place within our public schools, click on the taglines at the bottom of this article. Your eyes will be opened once you know just what it is that our so-called "educators" are doing to kids within the school setting.

This is Why The Public Schools Suck, Part IV...
New York City "educators" compile list of 50 words that are never-ever to appear on a test, just in case someone gets offended...and stuff.
I could expound upon this for hours, but do I really need to? This isn't funny; it's your tax dollars at work, and your children in danger! Political Correctness run amok, is what it is. Shameful is what it is.
If it had not appeared in print -- in a newspaper which is frequently all-too-happy to present the Libtard point of view as if it were a dictate from the Almighty, and then present it as the bestest fuckin' thing evah! -- I would hardly have believed it.
I'd call it "child abuse", but that term has apparently been banned.

More From the "Religion of Peace" Files...
New book tells Muslim men how to beat thier wives for Fun and Prophet.
I swear, if I hear one more Libtard repeat the braindead mantra that "all cultures are equally valid" I’ll buy this book and use the lessons learned on the first Occupy Wall Street demonstration I can find.
