Correct! Sarasota School Officials are just trying to save face by avoiding the truth - - they’re an upscale public school district that had to fire a large number of teachers because the local voters refused to pass a property tax increase. And we suspect George W. ain’t too happy about the free bad publicity for his baby brother Jeb.

Boy howdy! Are you an informed voter! Vice President Gore appreciates the good, solid common sense you’ve shown in researching the problems facing our public schools rather than just embracing some knee-jerk voucher plan, so he’s asked you for feedback on the jokes he’s planning to use on his next Letterman appearance.
