SCHOOL'S IN! Snark Report
Okay folks - the summer is over and my son has ended his monopolization of the computer.....so aaaawwwwaaaayyyyy we go!
Western Policy Is in Dispair In Darfur
The Sudanese government is trying to stop a UN force from coming in to help resolve its current crisis, afraid that Islamic Extremists would then target the currently Islamic-run country as being in danger of "Western Influence" and start fighting over there. True concern, especially since Osama Bin Laden did refer to Darfur as a battleground for Islam. However, this is my question for those extremists that the Sudanese government is rightfully afraid of - why aren't you helping your fellow Muslims? Right now, people are starving and dying due to this conflict - is it not imperative that maybe instead of buying a shiny new gun or bomb you may, oh I don't know, send FOOD AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES?
NASA Postpones Launch of Atlantis
Okey dokey then. A multi-billion dollar space shuttle needs very expensive repair and will get it. Yesterday I looked at my son's school supply list and I had to buy paper towels, tissues, baby wipes, copy paper and other basic supplies that the school cannot afford and cannot get funding for. Heck - who says the government has its priorities out of whack?
Okay folks, we all know school is in and our hopes for the future went through those doors to be educated. We also know that schools are in desperate need of funds, and aren't getting them. Why? That's an excellent question that I want you to ponder when you go to the polls this November. Look at the record of your Congressmen and Congresswomen and Senators as to where they feel the money should be going. Promises of funding and putting education first make wonderful campaign leaflets, but this election more than ever the incumbents should be scrutinized as to their actual record. Our future as a country is in the hands of our children, and we owe it to them to be responsible with our votes so that they can thrive in the future.
