WASHINGTON — Racing the clock to avoid a government default, President Barack Obama and Republican congressional leaders reached historic agreement Sunday night on a compromise to permit vital U.S. borrowing by the Treasury in exchange for more than $2 trillion in long-term spending cuts.
I am on my way to the New Castle County Air Base where a special assigned F22 Rapture is on stand-by.
Kilroy is presenting the following plan:
Raise the debt ceiling to 2.5 trillion dollars.
Constitutional balanced budget amendment.(phased in by 2017).
Eliminate the United States Department of Education.
$3000.00 fine to John Boehner each time he cries on national TV.
$3000.00 fine to Harry Reid each times his Depends sticks out the back of his pants on national TV.
Make Arne Duncan write the following on the chalk board 10,000 times; I am not a teacher and am sorry for disrespecting the teaching profession. I am useless as a woodpecker on an aluminum telephone pole. Viagra works best if swallowed not shoved up the ass.
Is Arne Duncan on the Bush Family Payroll? « Kilroy’s delawarekilroysdelaware.wordpress.com/…/is-arne-duncan-on-the-bush-fami… - CachedJan 23, 2011 – Neil Bush Cashing in on No Child Left Behind … Business Roundtable, a consortium of over 300 CEOs, but countless Bush family loyalists. …
Chris Tigani was the charming rich kid who had a gift for knowing what politicians wanted, and seeing that they got it.
Political candidates and elected officials know the law and rules. Morally Delaware has the most corrupt system of government in the country. It amazes me but not unexpected that when those who took Tigani’s candy are confronted they somehow see no wrong. Businessman are in business to make money and legislators are in business to make laws and protect the Constitution. It all came down to morals and those legislators who played the game have none! Hanging Tigani for the crimes of legislators doesn’t deliver real justice. And what about the biggest corporate crook currently in public office? Governor Jack Markell sold out Delaware’s public schools system to a Wall Street agenda. The truth about Markell won’t be reveal because his network of corporate scumbags are more influential than ten Tigani’s. For those of you who are not a native Delawareans, there is the Delaware Political Star Chamber. Has anyone figured out why the Delaware GOP isn’t criticizing Markell’s education plan that expands government? Has anyone figured out why the national GOP isn’t criticizing Obama or Duncan’s education agenda? Neil Bush, Jeb Bush and even Newt Gingrich are aligned with Obama’s Wall Street takeover of public schools. It’s going to be hard for any Delaware Republican to run against Markell because, if they criticize Markell’s education agenda they’ll be stepping on some big feet. Tigani didn’t victimized state legislators! Those legislators victimized the people and taxpayers of Delaware.
BOISE – The state Board of Education signed off on Idaho’s plan to reject the latest requirements for determining student progress under the federal No Child Left Behind law, though some trustees questioned public schools chief Tom Luna about his timing and motives behind the move.
The board voted 4-2 in a special meeting Friday to approve the plan amid concerns from board member Don Soltman, who noted that Idaho was ditching the higher benchmarks three days before the state’s latest batch of testing results would be released on Monday.
National Education Association delegates blasted Education Secretary Arne Duncan, passing a resolution that orders the NEA president to “communicate aggressively, forcefully, and immediately” to President Obama that the teachers union “is appalled” by a number of things Duncan has said and done in the name of school reform.
The resolution of the country’s largest union (see below) includes a list of Duncan’s actions and statements with which the NEA disagrees, including his standardized test-driven reform policies..
The resolution underlines the sharp animosity that exists among many public school teachers toward Duncan’s Education Department. But, with obvious calculation, the NEA does not blame Obama for the policies even though they all have his imprimatur.
In fact, the union’s leadership decided in May to ask their legislative body to approve an endorsement of Obama in the 2012 presidential race despite the great disagreement over reform policy.
NEA members need to take a close look at the union political relationship in Delaware. Lead the sheep to slaughter and thy shall be rewarded a job in my kingdom.
Obama and Duncan are big on pumping more money into education but it’s goes to Wall Street and expand administration and consultants. It’s obvious why senior union leaders support this. It’s because most senior union leaders are nearing the end of their teaching careers and would love to be consultants or work for DOE. Is RTTT producing smaller class sizes or protecting teachers who spent a lifetime of bullshit regulations with most being underfunded.
I understand why union are reluctant to support Republicans but there is a plan to give local schools the ultimate in flexibility.
“Allows states and school districts to use funds received through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Education Jobs Fund. These funds may be used freely for activities authorized under ESEA”
“Permits states and school districts to increase funds to support K-12 education programs that meet the needs of their individual classrooms, such as extra reading instruction or additional technology. Schools would also have the option to support early intervening services authorized under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).”
“Removes red tape for states and school districts by allowing them to use federal funds to fulfill local education priorities. This approach builds on long-standing federal efforts to enable effective, school-wide reforms that address all students’ needs, particularly those most at-risk.”
Good hard working teachers are being sold out by their unions and they know it! It’s time to eliminated the United States Department of Education and we know it and give schools back to local school districts, taxpayers , parents and students. I support strong “local” unions and there well deserved pay and benefits.
So tell me, will the federal government subsidize teachers pay? Duncan is presenting a pipe dream! I am all for paying our teachers like the professionals they are but, how about we respect their rights and not undermine them with asshole programs like Teach for America.
One thing for sure, we see how Delaware rewards team-players!
Got a trumpet, trombone or other band instrument at home you or your kids haven’t used since you or they were in the school band? the Colonial School District is interested.

LAUREL – State cuts to education have put the school district in danger of running out of money by next spring, officials said this week as they announced an austerity plan.
Laurel’s schools are in “dire” financial straits thanks to the state’s “extreme” cuts, acting Superintendent Dorothy Nave told a group of about 40 community leaders, residents and district employees at a school board meeting Thursday night.
It’s very doubt the Delaware taxpayers will makeup and see how Delaware Governor Jack Markell is using local tax-dollars to back fill his state cuts and in a few years Race to The Top. Markell went as far as to communicate to district superintendents who reserved some of the federal stimulus money under the Ed Job bill to us that money to back-fill his state education budget cuts. The reality of that move will be felt school year 2012-2013. School district with local reserves will be going into deficit spending pushing the districts closer to referendums. Once Race to The Top funding ends in 2014 that initiative must be back-filled with local dollars.
Deep within Arne Duncan education reform manifesto he wants legislation requiring all children to walk by the age 9 months. He feels any later goals associated with his cradle to career would be harmed. Duncan did yield to his critics and backed off plans requiring teachers in birthing rooms. Somehow he thought if a teachers were the first thing a baby laid eyes on there wouldn’t be such a disconnect when the child started school. Duncan also suggested some new classroom management technique such as sending students to the bathroom in alphabetical order and teachers would be required to give a two-week notice in the event of death. Lastly, Duncan wants K-5 teachers required to call each student prior to bedtime to wish them goodnight and to tell them, tell your parents to vote for Jack Markell for governor.
