[Rhodes22-list] Reduce your federal income tax (political humor)

[stan]

Philip,

As long as you put it in the form of a question, I thought the dumbing down 
of America was a Republican program since they have controlled the 
government for such a long stretch.  I thought "no one left behind" was a 
plan to hold back all the bright kids until the ones who apply for jobs with 
GB ketch up  I thought their slogan was, "an uneducated electorate is our 
best customer".

Philip - I will answer your boating queries off line tomorrow when I am 
thinking right (instead of left) - just killing time waiting for a 4 o'clock 
prospect.
