A Truth Journal: Colbert Hilarious Interview: Dragon Smaug, Now Send Him To Eat Congress: From Denny: This interview with threatening dragon Smaug from the Lord of the Rings movie prequel definitely ranks up there as Stephen's Best of All Time. After Thursday's outrageous and obnoxious new federal budget bill passing the House, it's time to send a fire breathing dragon to Congress and this White House to eat naughty people selling out the American people. If it survives in it's current form then expect the U. S. economy to go into a furious death spiral as Wall Street goes on a gambling spree with our money.
Dennys Funny Quotes: Funny Movie Trailer: Horrible Bosses: "From Denny: Hey, it's Monday! In honor of the Front Day of the Work Week - where groans and moans are heard throughout the nation as we sit in rush hour traffic, bleary-eyed and barely awake - why not get a good laugh?
I've been waiting for the longer movie trailer like this one to come out. Of course, my computer crashed last week and had to replace it with a new love of my life so that delayed me getting this clip up on this blog. While I was in technology oblivion I was reduced to snail TV yet every time this trailer came on TV it made me laugh. Share a grin with me and think about how you want to take back your power - and, in many cases, your dignity - from your annoying Horrible Bosses!"
Take a look at town hall debate after viewing the education documentary film "Waiting For Superman" as NBC kicks off their reports on education in America.
From Denny: Washington, D. C. Public Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee debates with obstructionist teachers union leader Randi Weingarten. Weingarten is the typical Save My Job politician critical of the necessary reform Rhee has successfully enacted to improve a failing school system. You have to let go teachers with bad attitudes who actually believe their kids are incapable of learning. How can children learn in such an atmosphere when they know their teachers don't give them a chance to show what they can do?
And "dumbing down" the curriculum is not the answer as it does the kids a serious disservice for a life time. Rather teachers must learn to teach to the students as they learn. Great strides have been made in just this area as science has learned how the brain learns. Innovative teachers across this country have implemented these styles of learning into their classrooms with excellent results. Kids enjoy learning more and learn better.
These video clips are from a one-hour town hall meeting discussion after the newly released documentary film, "Waiting For Superman," was screened to the audience.
Part 2 of the Town Hall Meeting - The focus for this panel is disadvantaged students and how education reformers and teachers unions can work together to level the playing field to help these students.
