5. Ann claims they lived in a $600 a month basement apt. Think about this...
|
in 1970 dollars, not 2012 dollars. Apartments were $150 a month in 1970. I don't care where you lived in the country in 1970, $600 a month was living in luxury. Penniless and destitute, indeed.

that times are quite different now and and the road to "success" is less likely paved with student loans than it was in the past.
Kids, live for living, not for what anyone tells you needs to be done. You're experts in your own experience, your teachers and advisers are NOT. Beyond that distinction, k and frakkin r.  |

27. Why do you think the GOP changed the TX textbooks? Everyone's an elitist now.

Come on, don't you feel better about yourself now?
You're just as rich as Romney, just more modest.

He's the guy who was in charge of changing the textbooks in Texas. And he didn't know that Thomas Jefferson wasn't a fundamentalist Christian by any means.

33. These guys remind me of an old quote, if you don't mind:
|
In the words of Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor Who:
"You know the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They both don’t alter their views to fit the facts. They alter facts to fit their views. Which can be very uncomfortable if you’re one of the facts that needs altering." 
Having been and known some of the facts who don't fit their views, I can tell you, it's very uncomfortable. |

He says in that clip Colbert showed "We need to stand up to experts!!". Could it be these people are "experts" because they know their shit??? Holy crap. If he's the head of the Texas board of Education - that is fucking scary.
