3. Let's hope lots of RWs are worried about McShaky. All about Country Club First !
He seemed really creaky and old hat.

And wanted to fight the union bosses. But no one applauded. They sort of looked taken aback at that.

11. I have to be honest--I was so excited while typing the subject line that I wasn't paying
attention, but it had to do with education. I wasn't listening to the speech. My sil is a teacher

21. What I heard about education in the speech was the same old crap.
Blame "bad teachers" - should make bad teachers get another job - let parents have "choice" to leave underperforming schools (vouchers? he didn't say) - slammed teacher's unions - didn't say a word about doing a damn thing to help public schools - very punitive.

20. McCondo is no leader. He proved it tonight with that disaster of a speech.
people were visably bored and he has a very meek way of communicating.. very unsure of himself.
