CNN is reporting on the abuses of E-rate. E-rate is a government-sponsored program that provides discounted Internet access and internal connection gear such as wiring, adaptors and servers to underprivileged schools. One of the incidents includes $24 million spent on 74000 wireless network cards that never left the loading dock.

This while massachusetts spends millions on radio ads that feature young children discussing budget cuts that force them to give up pencils and books-- all because democrats feel that you and me are not taxed enough to support education.

Boo-f'ing hoo. I'll tell you where to stick your pencils and crayons, you little twerps. Your mommies and daddies made you do a political ad, begging the taxpayers not to cut your bloated school budget. How's it feel being a tool of the teachers' unions at age 9? That's what I call education!
