How the Test Was Won

Don't understand the whole testing issue? Hit play.

    And they wonder how Wall Street pulled off its latest heist - if this ed policy continues - just think of the next heist the BRT will be able to pull off - no wonder they love testing so much -- its clearly in their best interests to dumb down the population as much as possible. The question is, when will "the people" stand up, organize and tell the oligarch-testocrats to go F themselves. Hmmmm..how much longer will it take for this house of cards to crumble - only Jon Stewart can save us - by shining a spotlight on this - what the hell is he waiting for? Perhaps he'll catch on one of these days - he and Colbert appear to be the last bastion of any sense of straight talk on the boob tube - oh, perhaps Madow or Oberman will take up this issue - can't understand how it continues to go under the radar. It would be a good topic for Stewart's new segment "What the F*%#K!!"

    Thanks for sharing.

  2. This is just what I needed today. This week in Seattle, we're the proud recipients of new Broad and Gates money aimed at... more testing.
