The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

NJ school spending up 8% over last year
At a time when most of us are tightening our belts the per-pupil spending for New Jersey's school districts rose by almost 8%.
Per-pupil spending in New Jersey increased by 7.9 percent — or an average of $1,003 per student — in 2008-09, the first year of the state's new school funding formula, according to the state's annual School Report Card data released today.
Average per-pupil comparative costs in K-12 districts rose to $13,601 during the 2008-09 school year, compared to $12,598 the prior year, and $11,939 in 2006-07.
And yet more schools than ever failed NCLB.
Our schools spend money like drunken sailors. If you drill down in the numbers on the NJ.com website you'll discover that salary accounts went up an average of 6% for teachers and 5% for administrators.
Did you get a six percent raise last year?
Yeah, me neither.
Meanwhile Sophie's tuition went from $4300 to $4500 per year.
What exactly do our public schools provide that is worth an additional $9101?
