And he’s one of the reasons why.


New Jersey Education Association executive director Vincent Giordano first said that “life’s not always fair” when explaining why low-income families shouldn’t get school vouchers to leave failing schools, and now he promises not to be “bullied” into resigning by the governor.

“Life’s not always fair, and I’m sorry about that, but to suggest that we take money from taxpayers and give it to certain taxpayers to use to educate their kids outside of the public school just seems to me to be [wrong]” Girodana said on a local New Jersey Capitol Report while criticizing the idea of school vouchers. He was responding to a questioner who had just observed that without vouchers, “some of these parents,” the Inquirer relates, “can’t afford to take their kids out of failing schools.”

With all the wasted money in public schools, i am sure private schools can do it better and cheaper. So why not go the private school way?

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

Does that include what he gets paid for insider trading? I imagine governors get the same perks as people in congress right?

Amazingly enough no. They lack the immunity from almost any and all prosecution clauses that Congressmen have. (don't the last three governors of Illinois reside in a penitentiary?) Governors make their money on shady real estate deals. They can't come close to touching the big easy money that is insider trading.

Crap you mean governors have to physically steal things, they can't just steal with a TD Ameritrade account?

Or you can be John Corzine. He probably managed to do both.
