You teach a child to read and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.<br \/>\n<br \/>7. No, I know all the war rhetoric, but it&rsquo;s all aimed at achieving peace.<br \/>\n<br \/>6. My mom often used to say, &ldquo;The trouble with W&rdquo; &ndash; although she didn&rsquo;t put that to words.<br \/>\n<br \/>5. In 1994, there were 67 schools in Texas that were rated &ldquo;exemplorary&rdquo; according to our own tests.<br \/>\n<br \/>4. I know what I believe.

All jokes aside about him looking like a cute little monkey, mispronouncing and creating new words, and wreaking havoc upon both domestic and foreign policy: how the fuck did this moron get elected?  It&rsquo;s been about two years, and I just can&rsquo;t believe that W is the President of the United States.  I didn&rsquo;t believe it when it happened in 2001, and I guess I still have trouble fathoming the depth of voter ignorance, apathy, or just plain stupidity that allowed him to become the leader of our country.  I can only hope that in 2004 the voters will come to their senses and that in the meantime he doesn&rsquo;t set us on a ruinous path from which we can&rsquo;t recover.<\/p>\n<p>There, that was cathartic.
