TEDESCO: If we had a school that was, like, 80 percent high-poverty, the public will see the challenges, the need to make it successful...Right now, we have diluted the problem, so we can ignore it.

To which Colbert archly responded: "See? Misguided government do-gooders foolishly diluted the problem by addressing it. We need to ignore it, so we'll pay attention to it!"

the odd thing is that this change occurred in wake county..one of the richest, most liberal places in the state. one of the bedroom towns to raleigh, Cary, is often cited as the Containment Area for Relocated Yankees ;)

Oh they don't need schools there. If they can load a rifle, tune a Holley carb, and cook a squirrel, they should be good to go.
you always leave out the colored folks down here.

that's racist.

I think one of the biggest lies about the Tea Party is their single-minded view about spending and taxes.

That's how they have been so successful during the last election. They avoid any discussion about social or racial politics, and when it comes time to govern, they are as redneck as you might have believed.

I actually need to learn how to tune a Holley carb right now for my International truck. I can't believe I grew up in NC and don't know how to do such things.
