I don't know what you're basing that statement on Josh. There's no need for you to explain though because we're not going to turn this thread into a discussion about how one's political views influences their outlook on public education. Now, if you want to go into detail as to why you aren't too much on Beck, I'd love to hear it. <br /><br />Pjazzy: Props to Color of Change for the work they did in getting sponsors to drop Beck. Although Beck will still be around to spread fear and divisiveness as only he can, I think his profile will be greatly diminished without the Fox "News" megaphone.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694026809022095167.post-82347143171389272172011-04-21T21:02:22.236-04:002011-04-21T21:02:22.236-04:00Goodbye and good riddance to that chump.

He had a huge megaphone during his Fox reign. It's a shame he chose to use it to pander to the lowest common denominator. <br /><br />Trestin: I reserve my admiration for those who deserve it and Beck gets none from me. The fact that he's been able to hustle his Fox audience for the past two years doesn't speak well for them.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694026809022095167.post-51114115244157442802011-04-14T09:20:32.115-04:002011-04-14T09:20:32.115-04:00You have to admire him.

Paul Revere was a <i>terrible</i> soldier. He sucked so hard that nobody had anything good to say about him; he eventually <a href="http://law.jrank.org/pages/2391/Paul-Revere-Court-Martial-1782.html" rel="nofollow">got courtmartialed</a> for it. <br /><br />And despite the kid's books and the poem by Longfellow, Revere didn't finish the famous "Ride," either. There were 3 riders - Revere, Dawes and Prescott - and Revere only made the first leg before he got captured by the British. Only Dawes made it to Concord.<br /><br />Really, the only thing Revere was good at was silverwork.Nameless Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963921060024737712noreply@blogger.com
