RANDOM FEAST: Sooner Or Later?

G.A. Scheinoha

I’ve often wondered about President Bush. Perhaps now more than ever. It goes way beyond the mispronounciation of simple words. Or the sheer stubborn, gonna stay the course spite. Even the aw shucks, he’s just a good ol’ red neck country boy mentality.
While schools across the nation are struggling to come to grips with the violence erupting in their hallways, the president is considering cutting $300 million earmarked for just that purpose, making them safer.
I realize he has an ill-conceived war to fund. Which has meant slashing many social programs, a pinch here, there, everywhere but corporate welfare for oil companies and tax breaks for the wealthy.
Still, this flies in the face of logic. He boasts about his achievements on behalf of education, then has the gumption to cripple our already beleaguered school system. Makes you wonder if they forgot to finish the thought: No child left behind. . . alive.
Besides, it’s just basic reasoning. If the students kill each other today, who will be left to send to Iraq tomorrow once he’s slaughtered our troops there needlessly? Even a Yale graduate should understand that.
Oh well, guess he’ll have to start drafting his rich friends’ kids.
AS IF!
