:rofl: :rofl:

I heard this from the ranking member of the committee, who was lobbing softballs at Education Secretary Spelling. I literally laughed out loud. How about "The morality reduction act?" That's what an immoral budget is.

I heard her propose educating 70,000 new teachers. She didn't specify how this would be done, as college aid is being eliminated. :grr:

1. "Clear Skies Initiative," "No Child Left Behind," "Patriot Act"
Kerry had it right, these fuckers are Orwellian. Basically you can take the title of any of their initiatives and interpret it as the polar fucking opposite of what it actually is.

5. Absofuckinglutely!
That's exactly what I've thought all along. Here are some suggested corrections:

"Brown Skies Initiative"
"No Child Left Unharmed"
"Paternalism Act"

and the most recent:

"Deficit Expansion Act"

2. Senator Lautenberg has a great name for it:
"Moral Disaster of Monumental Proportion Reconciliation Act."
