Legislative Bloopers Midweek Open Trackbacks

From the hallowed Halls of Idaho, some funny things happen. A couple funnies from Eye on Boise:

First:

As legislative budget writers set the budget for the Idaho Secretary of State’s office this morning, Sen. Brent Hill, R-Rexburg, noted one of the line items. “As much as some people would like to skip the election this year, I think we ought to fund it for $350,000,” he remarked.

and:

House Speaker Bruce Newcomb couldn’t stop laughing after Rep. Jim Clark, R-Hayden Lake, got caught talking on the phone just as he was supposed to offer the closing debate on the cigar tax bill, HB 693 – because it was the speaker himself who had called Clark on the phone. Newcomb had called Clark to check on today’s meeting of the Ways & Means Committee, which Clark chairs. Rep. Dennis Lake, R-Blackfoot, at the time was offering a blistering debate against Clark’s bill, calling it the “wrong way to go.” Then, Clark was called on to speak again – by the speaker. “In closing, stay off the phone with me, I’ve gotta close this one,” Clark began.

Personally, I don’t much like Social Security. The beginnings of the program were with the best of intentions. Ending the Great Depression was a difficult endeavor. Private financing and industry alone could not bring about the end of America’s worst…

Is Africa a Good Model for Educational Acheivement?
In order to narrow the white/black achievement gap, a school board is about to move to an Afro-centric curriculum. Apparently racial politics once again will serve to hold back young blacks from reaching their true potential.

…from spinning like a top, due to what I heard on talk radio yesterday. While listening to Eileen Burn of WLS-Talk Radio discuss an act of terrorism by an individual acting alone, the issue came up about why the MSM wasn’ t calling this terrorism.
