"Bangs Avenue" sounds enticing.

Obama High's debate team:

"Now let me be clear...I...I...um...uh...now let me be clear.  I strongly condemn the affirmative in the strongest possible terms, and I am closely monitoring their arguments.  Let me be clear on this."

Ashbury park is really a complete joke of a school district that spends bucketloads of someone else's money and gets nothing out of it.

The namesake fits, I suppose.

My father who really cannot stand Obama got a huge kick out of this. He commented, "now if we can only get Oprah's schools in South Africa to follow suit!!"

To me, this is a little funny, but I'm not going to wish the SA schools to close.  They are actually doing a great thing.

Who would be proud of going to a school named after him?

He was being facetious, not really serious.  He doesn't like Oprah at all.

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/02/nj_per-pupil_spending_increase.html

People who spend $27,476 per pupil to educate their kids, while achieving reading proficiency of about 15% of students in the 5th grade. I might add that 85% of that money is freeloaded from the state.

That budgetary table should make any honest hardworking american very angry.

Naming objects after living people is idiotic.

Dude... I think your father might be a racist. You should get him checked.
