So many items

I few quickies this morning.

Here's the unofficial Tancredo for President website. For any of you who are looking for some good background info or yet another reason why this man should be in charge then check it out.

Back to school special: With many kids going back to school today to learn reading, writing and arithmetic... oh wait, let me start over. With many kids going back to school today to learn diversity, multiculturalism and why America is bad (to be taught in Spanish) I thought that I would share this tidbit from an ODE memo:

Programs that are promoted as “abstinence-only” or “abstinence-only until marriage” do
not meet the requirements of Oregon sexuality education laws (Oregon Revised Statute
336.455, Oregon Administrative Rule 581-022-1440)

The Oregon Department of Education recommends that all human sexuality and
HIV/AIDS curriculums be reviewed; abstinence-only until marriage, abstinence only and
abstinence based, to ensure they contain accurate medical information, are not ethnic
and culturally biased or gender biased.

So if your wondering why so many teenage girls are pregnant, there's your answer.

Oregon Senator Vicki Walker has announced that she plans to challenge Sleepy Ted in the Governors race. She is touting herself as the "average Oregonian." Ted's response was: zzzzzzzzzz. You can also tell who the media doesn't like because of this paragraph:

The Republican primary race is likely to be a rematch of 2002 between former state Republican Party Chairman Kevin Mannix and Portland lawyer Ron Saxton. State Sen. Jason Atkinson also is running.

Atkinson gets an afterthought from the Seattle PI. How nice.

And yes, Metro, in it's unending quest to spread "multiculturalism" (read: everyone is better than America) has this item: Oregon Zoo Hosts Multicultural Festival Of Animals. No word on whether or not the gay sheep from OSU will be on display.

The school choice movement can always use more supporters!

I heard Vicki Walker on Lars Larson today, and I do not think she carried herself very well.

it seemed like when Lars asked her some very simple questions like how she would feel about lowering taxes, she skirted the issue.

She was horrible today! She's been open to Lars' logic before but today didn't have much of anything.

Go Atkinson!!
