It's just supposed to be funny, and it is. I heard Boortz for a few minutes this morning. He may not agree with what Obama said in his speech, but he still said it was a good speech. Rather than assuming, just go to his write-up on it. Boortz and Limbaugh are different. Boortz is a libertarian and Rush is a conservative. rlc, that video link happened to be provided by Boortz.

In particular: 1. How will you hire and retain qualified teschers? Pay? 2. What about Facilities? 3. Textbooks, equipment? What place do "Frills" like arts education, sports, debate, foreign language teaching, play in your plans? For that matter - please define the ideal curriculum and what measures will you use to see that students are mastering the material? Finally, if you advocate break-up are you concerned with race and ethnicity - not to mention socio-economic factors. Do you believe in SERRANO v. PRIEST? Answers please And while we’re on the subject of education, could I please hear some solutions for LAUSD. In particular:
