The NEA and the unions are working together to bring the new curriculum to your darlings, lest they have any untoward hangup in later life of aahhh, delicate matters. The Magisterial ONE wishes you to know he endorses the NEA/Jennings program and strives to infuse this love of learning in all K-6 classrooms.
We’ll call it Health Class to fool the parents.

GMO’s are the bête noire of the local au courant gardeners. Several years ago the Rural Vermont crowd were forming platoons of harrowers to ward off the malignant minions of 3M.

The ONE GMO in great favor in the very GREEN MOUNTAIN ST. is “ganja” aka weed. This issue of Progressive Vermont is for you.

This will definitely get the State on an EVEN KEEL.

Ed G. Mann posted at Vermont Loon Watch these first steps to increase our presence on the borders and apprehend the hordes of illegals crossing over at this HOT SPOT.

Finally the Department of Homeland Security under Napalitano gets serious about border security. The Port of Entry at  Morses Line is an invasion point rated as Class One, which means SOMETHING must be done immediately. [snip]

HLS is going to court, not even going to bother with an Environmental Impact Statement. Serious stuff here, there’s going to be HELL in a small place. 

Amazing!

I waited five minutes, sure enough the weather changed.

Tuesday April 27, about 0930, Creek Rd, Middlebury. The start of nearly 7″ of wet snow.

Massachusetts takes second place; vows to regain top spot!

Vermont’s truly renewable resource, generated instate in voluminous quantities by the Legislature.

Considering the compromising of the Vermont State “Seal of Quality” qualities, the State needs to polish the “apple” with a new image.

NY Labor Department Unveils New Benefits Tool

ALBANY, N.Y. — A new feature on the state labor department’s Web site is aimed at making it easier for unemployment insurance claimants to determine how long they can receive benefits. [snip]

VT Department of Labor Unveils New Benefits Tool

Putting Vermonters to work

Montpelier, VT. — Not to be
out done, the
Vermont Peoples Commissioner
of Labor,
Camps
and Corrections
produced
the newest item
in the
Government’s tool
shed making it
easier for the
unemployed
to become productive
once more.

“We purchased the most eco-friendly tools available. Importing them from China means our precious trees are not cut down; buying short-handle tools requires less wood and gets the peasants workers newly employed closer to his/her their job, insuring quality control.” The new State motto is “We Care” about our laborers.

The state figures to save tax dollars and cut the carbon footprint getting a double return for the investment.

When the Moonbats tip over, the thud they make hitting the floor is quite sodden. It sounds as if I dropped putrefying brains from 10 storeys up on to concrete.

Where would I get these brains?

Right here at “Leahy Lunacy” courtesy
of Powerline. This pas de deux between
Holder and Leahy brings new meaning
to interpreting the Bill of Rights correctly.

I wonder what  the sane portion of the country thinks about New England’s mental capacity? Leahy is representative of the senatorial voltage of most ensconced poltroons sent to DC.

Social engineering laws of all stripe are in the province of the electorate. Legislators proved to be open to bribes, graft, pressure and outright pusillanimity by circumventing the will of the voters, producing a tyranny of the minority.

The Constitutions of the US and the States are limited in scope just for this reason.

Marriage is the province of the church. The Government should not discriminate by conferring  tax benefits on anyone because of their habitation proclivities. All survivorship rights can be arranged by legal documents, leaving the government out of any say in conjugal pairings.

Churches should marry, they consider it a sacrament. If one doesn’t like the Creeds of your church, join the Cafeteria Church. That seems to be how important religion has become for many.

One of the sounds not echoing in the verdant mountains is “Soooeeeeeee, here pig-pig Soooeee here – pig-pig-pig”
At least not by the label on this product, no-no-no.According to the flatlander rules of gentrified farming, the following is forbidden: any animal that grunts, smells, bellows, pollutes, is considered unsightly in stature or numbers, is not unique or cuddly! Future bête-noirs added as needed.

Criterion entirely subjective and not open to review, new out of state arrivals are free to make suggestions,

The strictures placed on farmers as to what they may do with THEIR land, are by diktat.
Infuriated Volvo driving doxies caught behind some farmer operating a tractor for a lark, who missed a Pilates class sued to get ceramic cows.
No better is the toff late to his PTSD chat group for metrosexuals with bad hair.

Vermont will be SOOOOOOO nice without the stink and clank of oh you know,

WHATEVER!

For those that don’t know the words:

One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said boys I’m not turning
I’m headin for a land that’s far away beside the crystal fountains
So come with me we’ll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there’s a land that’s fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The farmer’s trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh, I’m bound to go where there ain’t no snow
Where the rain don’t fall and the wind don’t blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There’s a lake of stew and of whiskey too
You can paddle all around ‘em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain’t no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picks
I’m a goin to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

I’ll see you all this coming fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Big Bird back in Vermont

Dressed in his finest plumage, a Big Bird knockoff kicks off the gala by parking cars and flitting around the many celebrations of homosexual marriage.

The footwear is positively divine!

You never thought 5¢ would go so far!

Gas prices are rising, slowly for now but inexorably.

While a nickel per gallon may seem picayune, this proposed hike entangles price hikes as an old tuna net caught dolphin.

Some but not all of the items that will cost the middle to low income Vermonters more include any items transported by petroleum powered conveyance:[snip]

Read the list of items that will cost more because of a 5¢ a gallon tax on gas and diesel.This is a force multiplier that does not stop. I’m sure that you can add to the list.
You will notice some items double, ever triple back to boost the effect.

Here in Vermont, the feckless bozos want to tie the tax to inflation so they don’t have to vote to raise it again, avoiding the voters’ wrath in the future.

Why this occurs up here is because they raped the Transportation Fund to subsidize liberal social programs they otherwise couldn’t afford or were funded by one time revenue sources.

Vermont cannot cover it’s debt, the stimulus charade works for two years to paper over the deficit, and the legislature will not cut the budget.

So it to the tax and spend part of the plan we go and maybe by 2012 the UNCCP will have taken over the Country and bailed out these idiots.

I recently asked my friends’ little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up.
“President,” she replied quickly, “I want to be President some day.”
Both of her parents, flaming liberals, were standing there, so I asked her, “If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?”

She replied, “I would give food and houses to all the homeless people.” Her parents absolutely glowed.

”Wow…what a worthy goal; but why wait until you’re President to do that.
Come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I’ll pay you $50.”
“Then we’ll go down to Burlington where the homeless guys hang out, and you can give one of them the $50 to use toward food and a new house,” I told her.

After thinking that over for a few seconds, she looked me dead in the eye and asked, “Why doesn’t the homeless guy just come over and do the work, and you just pay him the $50?”

I said, “Welcome to Conservative America.”

Her parents still won’t speak to me.

 

Voting in Vermont

This idea the courts have upheld this to be necessary as a foundation of a democratic society. In the People’s Republic of Vermont, this cherished ideal is the guidon leading the Progressive minions on their march to the Golden Dome.
Until, it isn’t.
One man, one vote preferably with IRV, since that assures a more controllable outcome is fine BUT, no referenda for homosexual marriage can be tolerated. Why not let the voters cast a yea or nay.
The elite, your betters cannot trust you to vote the correct way, that’s why.

In matters of social engineering, you doltish Vermonters are only good for paying taxes and cleaning up the roadsides on Greenup Day.
Indeed, left to your own techniques, you’d reduce taxes, introduce school choice, vouchers and pioneer novel notions like no representation without taxation. [snip]

It looks like the homosexual marriage bill will pass the House but not with enough votes to override a potential veto. Ed Mann goes on to express more thoughts in some PC er well polite ways on this crap. The MA poufter blogs are all in a dither over the announced veto. I haven’t heard anything from the Governor’s office yet (nor through the paper) so it’s “pillow talk.”
How sweet!
