Thank you for including my witty reply about Lane Kiffin! But then they cut my mike off and the audience was not able to hear my next comment. I will personally stop Lane Kiffin at the border next time he tries to enter our state. If his Southern Cal football team gets an invitation to the Music City Bowl, he will get detained and will miss the game. It is the least that I can do for the good, salt of the earth people of this fine state. I'm also sending Stacy Campfield undercover to SC games next season!
Thank you and please, VOTE FOR ME!!!!!
How about this:
'Volunteers from Woodmont Christian Church who were in Haiti were evacuated by plane and have safely arrived in Santa Domingo in the Dominican Republic, U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper's office reports."

Should maybe the volunteers have stayed and helped out? Or did they decide the Haitians were now a bit too distracted to hearing God's loving message and just wanted to get the hell out?

I will reply to each of the quotes presented here.
Gibbons - You will have to pay serious salaries to get the best and brightest to teach. That being said, you don't have to be a genius to teach children.
Haslam - Realism is an important aspect of improving education. If a kid isn't college material, he should enter vocational training after eighth grade. Not everyone has to be on the college track to be a success.
Kyle - Great, another entitlement. The only way to totally destroy minds is to start young!
McMillan - Lack of intelligence is the biggest barrier to obtaining a college degree, which is why the system is the way it is. Anyone who reaches adulthood needing remedial courses should forget about it.
Mike McWherter - If the state board needs to be involved, what exactly is wrong at the local level?
Ron Ramsey - Yes! There are serious alternatives for anyone who does not wish their child to become a mindless drone. Remember, public school teaches to the top of the bell curve, and there is no advantage in having your children associate with the lowest elements of society.
Zach Wamp - You have hit the nail on the head! Parental attitude is the most important aspect in early child development, and success starts at home.
