* Looks like right winger, Republican Sen. Jim DeMint, doesn't have his facts correct.
Raw Story:
....In comments made at a Republican news conference on the need to save the district's federal school voucher program, DeMint said, "If you send a kid to [public] school in D.C., chances are that they will end up in a gang rather than graduating," according to an article in The Washington Times.
The Times noted that the graduation rate for D.C. Public Schools was close to 70 percent last year, which puts it in line with the national average.
DeMint's own state of South Carolina however has a much lower graduation rate - 56 percent, which is the fourth lowest rate of any state in the country, according to a 2008 article by South Carolina newspaper, The Post and Courier....
Those statistics from South Carolina are shameful. DeMint is clearly out of touch.
* Sen. John McCain has been complaining about earmarks. However, McCain's buddy, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has requested 37 earmarks (see GreenvilleOnline.com). Hey, McCain! Go talk to your Republican buddy and tell him enough of these earmarks!!!!
* According to Cleveland.com, Jim Tressel, Ohio State football coach, and five other college football coaches, will visit our troops in war zones in May.
