Quotables


Butch & Sundance

Joe Biden, speaking in West Virginia:

John McCain is now attacking the Bush budget and fiscal policies. Folks, this is as crazy as the Sundance Kid attacking Butch Cassidy! They were in this together."
'Toothless bloggers...'

…And yet for all McCain's effort, for all his compromise, for all the cost of turning his back on what we thought was his personal value system -- it's not working. Americans aren't responding to the old plays -- the fake fears, the faux outrage, the conservatives who yell "Communist" at the news cameras, the pompous right-wing bloggers who once held such sway. I know all too well how scary and effective these old tactics were in 2004. Today, they are toothless.

Kids, watch your lunch money!

Guess what? Lots of those really smart folks who brought us the current global financial crisis are now looking for work. Guess where they’re heading?-- from Wall Street directly into teaching jobs.

"These big moments — and I think Sept. 11 was the last big moment — cause people to look for work that has meaning to them," says Tim Daly of the New Teacher Project, which recruits teachers nationwide.
