What is Teacher Wish Lists

What is Teacher Wish Lists
"WOOD/WOTV/WXSP and Maranda know that many teachers use up to $500 per year of their own money to buy supplies for their classrooms. That’s why we are working together to support teachers.

We are launching a program called “The Teacher Wish Lists”.

It is our effort to promote classroom support by asking families and businesses to buy classroom supplies."

And we all KNOW that teachers are underpaid and overworked, right?

Or is that overpaid and underworked.......

Appeals Court: `The Tea Party' can't make Michigan ballot

Appeals Court: `The Tea Party' can't make Michigan ballot FOX 21 Online
"The Michigan Court of Appeals has decided a group calling itself 'The Tea Party' doesn't qualify for the Nov. 2 ballot because it didn't correctly show the party name on petitions.

Republicans and tea party activists say 'The Tea Party' that has nominated nearly two dozen candidates is a fake aimed at hurting them by drawing away votes from Republicans.

They've been fighting the group's efforts to get on the ballot.

The court released its decision Monday.
It says the word 'the' was not in 24-point bold face type on the petitions as required by law.
A message seeking comment was left for the lawyer representing the 'The Tea Party.'

A lawyer for the opposition says he's waiting to see if 'The Tea Party' appeals to the Michigan Supreme Court."

EPA Surrenders to NRA on Gun Control Issue

EPA Surrenders to NRA on Gun Control Issue - US News and World Report
"The EPA had planned to solicit public responses to the petition for two months, but this afternoon issued a statement rejecting a 100-page request from the Center for Biological Diversity, the American Bird Conservancy, and three other groups for a ban on lead bullets, shot, and fishing sinkers. The agency is still considering what to do about sinkers."

In other words, they can do whatever they want but they didn't want to do it just before an election.

Does this sound as creepy to you as it does to me?
