My kid ain't watchin' no damn &*^$@# president!!!

Hysteria is strong today.  My republican co-workers were talking about and thinking about having their kids not hear the speech.  I asked if they even read the transcript?  Of course they hadn't.  So I printed it for them.  It is basically is a motivational speech about education and that the kids have the responsibility to follow through on their end and work hard.  Coming from someone that did just that in his lifetime I think it is a fine message to send kids.

I was sitting with my neighbors having a beer last night when they said that they were calling the school in the morning and if the speech was being shown, they were yanking their kid out of school for the day. They said he has more important things to do for an hour and a half.

These are people who wanted to vote for Hillary, but voted for McCain when Obama got nominated.  She (an immigrant from Poland) wanted to vote for a woman.  They're both pretty close to Archie Bunker when it comes to other races.

I just kept my mouth shut.  I see little point in arguing politics with idiots.

I'm an idiot and I don't talk politix.

Not having kids I have heard little to nothing about this.  But its scary how many people have been reported here to have taken their kids out of school because of this.  Downright nuts it is.
