*Florida to appeal ruling on Jan. 29 ballot measure
I’m sorry to hear that. However, the AP story says
that Gov. Charlie Crist and House Speaker Marco Rubio
plan to work on revised language during next week’s
special session.
Tell you what, fellas: Save the
money, drop the appeal, and just fix the language. Please.
*Who’s sloppy?
The San Francisco Examiner has a story with Katie
Couric’s comments at the National Press Club yesterday
during a Q and A conducted by reporter-turned-academic
Marvin Kalb. Here’s what she said about Dan Rather:
“There were things in there that were quite egregious
in terms of how it was reported,” she said. “And
sloppy work is sloppy work…They did not dot their I’s
and cross their T’s when it came to that story…And our
job is to get right.”
Yes it is, so we won’t mention the ethical problems
with your commentaries, Katie.

About juries in L.A. when it comes to celebrities: To
quote Casey Stengel, the late, great baseball manager:
“Can’t anybody here play this game?”
*Getting away from FCAT dependence
Bravo to the Broward School Board, which is trying to
find a way to get back to basics in the classroom and
not have the curriculum be FCAT-prep heavy:

Quality learning should prepare students for any test.
And by the way, the state should still untie the knot
between the test, which was created as an evaluation
tool, and funding for schools.
*Ecko against Bonds

Amen.
