K-9

I'd say Nixon and Ford. After them, the party was co-opted by the Moral Majority and, even if republican candidates didn't live their religion, they had to make it a point to appear as devoted Christians on the trail.

Thank-you, sir. GO SABRES!!!

Speaking of Vesey, any word on Caggiula? GO SABRES!!!

Why do I get the impression Jack will be served by the snub? GO SABRES!!!

I would have told him he earned the D for free. But I keep reading how stupid our students are, how unprepared they are for secondary educations. But they are all getting As? Who knew? the D for free.

Nonetheless, it's the teachers who have been demonized by these very same "policy makers" over those years. The rhetoric is shrouded in all sorts of platitudes about "the children", but it's empty and their policies have done much more harm to the students. Parental involvement will always be the key, but it isn't always practical, especially in inner-city, single parent households. And it's no coincidence that this demographic has been especially targeted by the special interests who seek to privatize our schools.

Perhaps I should have just said "big money" investments in school board races across the country vs. simply millionaire developers. Regardless, attempts to influence school board decisions is prevalent and part of a systematic attempt to reroute huge public education tax dollars to private individuals. It's big business to say the least. Here's one of many articles from over the years. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2014/10/09/why-are-tfa-and-a-california-billionaire-investing-in-minnesota-school-board-race/

Ask yourself who Phil answers to on that board. The educational goals that Common Core "espouses" have always been valued and pursued. Teachers have always expected much out of their students. This idea that they don't is part and parcel to the requirement by "reformers" to demonize their unions, the destruction of which is the most important element in moving towards privatization and the money grab it represents. Your last sentence is key. That used to be the case, with the exception of teaching tax prep. Now it's all about STEM, which is a crock. But, it helps to point the fingers at teachers (again, a critical part of the strategy), and open the doors for privatization.

You are under the illusion that the teacher's unions are actually a strong player in the education lobby. They aren't. They have been systematically excluded from policy making decisions for a while now, especially at the federal and state levels. The education lobby I'm referring to, is that which advocates Common Core, standardized testing, privatization, and the move to charter schools. All of which is designed to reallocate education dollars. It's why rich land developers seek positions on local school boards across the country the last several years.

Didn't Murray say he wants "a quarterback" for a defenseman during his season-ending presser? I think he prefers a Karlsson. Who doesn't? GO SABRES!!!

Makes a ton of sense. Makes the most sense. But our reps have sold out to the education lobby pushing STEM, charter schools, and privatization. We used to have a model vocational school system in this country, too.

So, it isn't because you have it so bad, it's because the other guy has it so good. Got it.

Legwand, too. He did more talking on the bench than our coaches. He was always teaching somebody something, it seemed. I hope he comes back for one more year. GO SABRES!!!

Outstanding, fellas!

I don't know, 'Lost In Space' used a ton of tin foil back in the day. Then again, they used inverted colanders for alien hats, so what do I know. Seriously though, that set really underscored the lengths Chuck was willing to go to to prey on Jimmy's affection for him.

I said from the very first episode that we are seeing the product of a creative team that could finish each other's sentences, which is what the experience of 'Breaking Bad' provided them. Plus, Gilligan isn't weighed down by the uncertainty of AMC execs deciding whether or not to renew the show for another season, like he was with 'Breaking Bad' when he had to write several series finale scenarios before season three. The team is much bolder in their choices with the freedom that complete backing from the network provides. I'm not surprised at all that some would say it's a better show, whatever that means. I'm content to simply enjoy both dramas on their own.

Schaller calling out some guys on the team. Interesting. Does anyone who regularly watches the Amerks have any idea who he may be alluding to here? Can't have any player who attended the 'Mario Williams School of Game Preparation.' GO SABRES!!!

The more I think about Chuck's treachery, the more insidious it seems. The one thing Chuck needed to pull it off, the only thing to assure success, was Jimmy's unconditional love for his brother. I think Chuck is an evil prick.

I'm guessing it was Gus or somebody that works for Gus that put the note on Mike's car. Yes, that was the truck driver that was whacked. And if this episode didn't convince you that Chuck is a manipulative, selfish, jealous A$$HOLE of the highest order, then I can only surmise you have a much more charismatic younger brother named Jimmy.

I seem to recall Kane playing with Larry and Gio this year, before Foligno got the job permanently. IIRC, he looked really good, too. GO SABRES!!!

Yeah, that picture says a ton about our gullibility as a society and everyone that preys upon it. If I could attach a syrupy Sam Elliot voice over, I would.

It says they don't have a phucking clue about America more than anything else.

What does it say about a legislature that would even conceive, write, vote for, and submit such a bill for passage in the United States of America? Another example of American sharia.
