Furthermore, most if not all, Catholic and religious-affiliated parochial schools have work-study type programs for those unable to afford to pay the cost of tuition. Most of these programs are need based and are in the form of lower tution (grant). The students take after school type jobs at the school, "working" for a couple of hours. In return, they receive lower or fully paid tuition. Noone, to my knowledge, is denied a catholic school education due solely to financial means.

And when I'm driving in my Jeep, exactly how are you affected by my smoking????

Very nice pictures. Do you do this as a job or hobby? Just a contribution... Photo in my office.

I agree with not overcrowding the classroom and having more individualized attention. But, let me ask you something...if you have 300 students to 30 teachers, you have 10 to 1 as a ratio, same as 3000 students and 300 teachers. Limit class sizes to 20 students. You'd need to have several classrooms teaching the same subject, but if you have the faculty, so what. The voucher system I'm advocating would be in lieu of the taxes you pay to support the local public school. To attend a religious school, you pay twice, your local taxes and tuition. If you advocate bringing religious schools into the voucher system (I'd love it, personally) then you open an entirely different can of worms.

Because we liked what our teams used to wear and don't really see the need to change it. Thats what these morons don't understand.

A similar article ran in the NY Post today. I question its veracity. The premise of the article is that Medicaid still paid out claims after the person died. It did not say that new claims were submitted post-death (except with regard sto the nursing home example in the article). Yes, it is possible for Medicaid to pay claims to a provider after death, paperwork submission and repayment takes time. Yes, there is fraud (as with the nursing home portion), but I am very skeptical of that article. Article... http://www.nypost.com/seven/11162006/news/...rrespondent.htm

Steinbach & Diehl would be a nice set of Guards. The tackles are a bit thin, unless you go for Starks.

Definately missing out!

SurveyUSA released the results of the first 50 state 2008 poll. By a 50 state poll, I mean that all 50 states were surveyed individually and for almost all of the GOP and Dem field. For example, you can select Hillary vs. Newt and see the results of the matchup in all 50 states. It's a fun tool. Yes, Rudy dominates the field. Hillary gets trounced by either McCain or Giuliani. The interesting one is McCain v. Edwards, pretty damn close. Have fun... http://www.surveyusa.com/homecv.aspx

Also, the US has 300 mil people, not 260. I don't know the number of "Families."

Take a walk through any brokerage firm trading floor. The majority of American people who are traders would disagree with you.

Gives new meaning to flying the friendly skies!!

59-16-5...Wow!!

I don't know that the voucher system would overcrowd schools, as much as eliminate the multiple levels of administrators. Lets take Cheektowaga as an example. Typical suburban town of 100k people. They have 7 school districts. Seven! Cheektowaga Central, Cheektowaga Sloan, Maryvale, Depew, Cleveland Hill, JFK and Lancaster. Completely ridiculous. Lets say there was a voucher system and all the kids wanted to go to the "better" schools, Maryvale, Lancaster and Depew (I don't really know which are the better ones, just making an example). In order for those three to maintain their "better" status, they will have to hire more teachers to maintain student to teacher ratio. The schools not getting the vouchers would eventually close, leaving many highly paid administrators out of work, but the demand for teachers would remain constant. The only thing is you would have a bigger school. As far as gov't $$ going to religious schools, all religious schools take some level of gov't $$ in order to comply with gov't mandates to keep accreditation. The voucher system would not apply to private schools, only public schools.

Pretty much constant, consistent swearing.

Jeff Littman, destroyer of the Bills. Wonderful. I hope this clown has no role with the Bills now. I hope you are happy you saved a few measly pennies you jackass. Thanks Lori for the good read.

I'm bored and hoping to watch some debate!

I know ND has a couple All America candidates. Pre-Weis Quinn did not do much. With Weis he was very good last year. This year, he seems to have done OK. How will his game translate to the NFL? What is his arm strength? Speed, cause he's gonna need it with our OL? How about his intelligence and reading defenses?

No more OL from Texas!

Brady who? Tom? Yeah, he's a good QB, wish we had him. Kelly who? Ripa? Yeah, she's hot. I'd bang her.

How do you know? What did he do for ND pre-Weis? How is he better than Brohm from Louisville? Break it down for me.

Hey Jeff, up yours!! Lori, thanks for the color in that story. I read Marv's bio, and knew about the poison pill on the Wolford contract etc. But the color you provide with respect to the relationship between Littman & Polian is invaluable.

Don't go there. We could argue the wisdom of that law in a country where you can die for it at 18, but not have a cold beer in a bar till you are 21. But we won't.
