Don't F*** With Texas!

In what has become a politically-charged national debate over education, the Texas Board of Education finally approved the high school and k-8 curriculum for the state's public schools. Among their most "controversial" decisions, the board:

-rejected language to modernize the classification of historic periods to B.C.E. and C.E. from the traditional B.C. and A.D.;

-they required that public school students in Texas evaluate efforts by global organizations such as the United Nations to undermine U.S. sovereignty;

-they strengthened the requirements on teaching the role of Judeo-Christianity in the founding of this country; and

-students will be required to study the decline in the value of the U.S. dollar, including the abandonment of the gold standard.

Oh the horror!

Reason 879 to home school your children: if these kinds of things are controversial in a state like Texas, imagine what your kids are learning in Wisconsin!

Birthday Party-think about it.

Hi Everyone, I know you are aware that Grandma's 90th Berfday Party is coming up. If you are going to buy a plane ticket, or make dad buy you a plane ticket, the time to take action is now. The party is in 33 days, or something like that. I would sort of like to know who is coming for planning purposes, and if you are able to stay and load all of our stuff into the moving truck. I know dad is going to force some of you to do it (I will pay you a meager wage), so if you know you are one of the chosen, please tell me. Dad will probably not tell me until 2 hours before the flight lands. Love you all!

Well in case you all (or y'all) haven't heard Wayne is in fact a Wayne! So another male Smyczek is on deck. Jim of course is already thinking about getting him into hockey! In just 4 short months he'll be here...time sure does fly. We hope all of you are well, and we look forward to getting to see you this summer.

Love,
Maggie, Jim (and Wayne)

Great Article on the US Trade Deficit

Some basic info on the US trade deficit and its negative effect on the overall economy. Very interesting!

Speaking of Debt

A great article in the Atlantic about how, when you add in the debt of Freddie and Fannie (not even including all of our future unfunded liabilities), the U.S. current debt levels are about equal to Greece's. Frightening.

Anyone remember this??

Maybe some of you have seen this, funny nonetheless....
