If you want to fix America, you have to fix America’s broken education system; and you must start by getting rid of the one we have.

I’ve been up in front of too many classrooms in too many different schools, and had lunch in too many different teachers’ lounges, to be wrong about this. I have also sat through more school board meetings, in more towns, and pored over more school budgets, than I care to remember.

Once in awhile when I complete a column (of course I hadn’t posted one of my own since early in the year) I’ll send it out to a select few people – you know they type – the ones who CARE about America – the ones who COUNT – the ones who GIVE A SHIT!?!?!?

So the day goes on and I hear from Granny (#1), Biesada (the ONLY one), Ewart (who gets fed up from time to time as well) and finally – Ross. You remember Ross don’t you? He’s the intellectual, who idolizes and reads the likes of Tommy Jefferson (who helped move an entire nation on up), little Jimmy Madison, Slammin’ Sammy Adams, and the other guy who had been to Franklin. Then there was the joint smokin’ dude from the Mount Vernon Country Club and his buddy who got killed – you know – the cat on the $10 bill – Hamilton Beach. He has read and studied the words of P. Henry (no relation to ‘O’) – and a whole bunch of those founding Muthas!

Nice history lesson Huh?? Gotcha hooked now, don’t I?

I know, I know, I said I wasn’t going to write anything new until I finished my book. Well I just can’t shut off my brain and when a thought worms its way into my brain I just can’t get rid of it until I write about it. So, here I am, at it again. I guess you guys are gonna have to continue to put up with my endless nagging.

The other day a good friend wrote a short commentary in which he said, “America is not deserving of the efforts of the many, who awaken each day, face the problems of the nation – let alone their families – and continue to fight to awaken a sleeping bunch of idiots – AMERICANS!”

You know, Jeff, the friend who sent that to me, is right

Anthony Weiner has announced his bid for President. He has chosen Eric holder as his running mate. Make sure to hurry out and get your ‘Weiner-Holder‘ bumper sticker.

The whole damned country is living in La La land!

YUP, that’s about it. The whole damned country is living nothing but a fantasy. Fairyland on stilts – looking over the fence to see who is screwing the next door neighbor’s wife, while her hubby is down the street boinking some other gal.

Ten years ago this month, I was in the final stages of developing the Federal Observer. It’s hey-day came and went like a lighting bug in the ‘burbs of Chicaga. We were basically done within three years. Today it’s purpose is merely old habit I suspect – just something that I can refer to on my daily broadcast, “Life, Liberty & All That Jazz“.

Since our first day of publication, the delusional attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon have taken place, and America had the final nail of her coffin, shoved right up it’s ass.

“Why, Mr. Bennett… do you REALLY have to use such vulgar language?”

Watch out – the Federal Observer brings you another thought provoking rant from a member of its Granny Brigade. Maybe that is the problem in this nation – let’s turn it over to the Grannys and let them straighten it all out. (JB)

What happens when you yell and scream and finally get the attention of the law makers and lo and behold actually get a bill passed into law that will help save this country?

Are you ready to do your part to make it work?

Evidently not the people in Georgia! Or I suspect anywhere…. Headlines scream Farms falling into ruin… no workers? Well duhhhhhhhhh…..

I was, quite honestly, taken aback by all the comments in response to my last article. I suppose I should have expected it, but nonetheless it came as quite a surprise considering the title I had given it. Thinking back I guess a more suitable title would have been Prequel to a Hiatus, as I am not going anywhere, I am just not going to be writing any more commentaries for a while.

Lately, at work, I have had to suppress the desire to perform shotgun lobotomies upon an ever increasing number of people. Yesterday was no worse than any other day, but I guess I was just venting some steam, and some of my anger and frustration spilled over into my writing; hence the title. It was a mistake on my part, and I am sorry for misleading my readers.

Do politicians take a test to assure they are stupid enough to believe that they have plenary (supreme) power over the people, or to assure they do not have the reading skill to read and understand the Constitution for the united States of America?

Do many of them obtain law degrees to assure they have no understanding of Law, or such phrases as the “supreme Law of the Land”, or the rule of law, or the proper application of statutes, ordinances, and the like?

Wikipedia defines government as “In the social sciences, the term government refers to the legislators, administrators, and arbitrators in the administrative bureaucracy who control a state at a given time, and to the system of government by which they are organized. Government is the means by which state policy is enforced, as well as the mechanism for determining policy of the state.”
