STUFF AND JUNK
Your state is in a financial mess, the unemployment rate is the highest in the nation, the government may have to shut part of itself down if a budget crisis can not be resolved. So what do you do.......You propose a 38 million dollar bill to get every student an iPod.
Why? Because apple was nice enough to pay for your trip to visit them in California.....that and you know for educational type stuff like listening to the new (insert generic teeny bopper bullshit band here).
In other critical government news Grindhouse may be getting split up and re-released later on this year due to it's not so hot run in theaters. This is a horrid idea and one that defeats the purpose of what the films are all about. Perhaps next time the studio should consider releasing a gore fest cult film on any other weekend other than EASTER. I know I had a hard time selling mom on a ham dinner followed up with some hardcore decapitation cinema.
Do you buy the fact that this guy looks like Kenny Rogers?
His Celebrity Look alike agency seems to think so.
More importantly does he even sound like the Gambler? This is a must for my next birthday party.

There never was a plan to buy ipods. That's part of the Republican smear machine.

"Democrats talked about bringing technology to education during a press conference with House Speaker Andy Dillon last week. In that discussion, the idea of buying iPods or mp3 players for students came up.
But quickly, the question "How can the state afford to buy iPods for students when there isn't enough money to go around right now?" was asked.
In reality, there was never a plan to buy all students iPods. There is a $38 million line item to pay for technology, far less than it would take to buy mp3 players for 1.65 million students."
If they got every student an ipod that would mean ipods cost $23. I want my $23 ipod.

Figures, I'd just heard another report on this on NPR. Guess they suck as much as all the other news outlets.
