Shcool Zone Ahed…..

They also urge you to contribute more funding.

SNERK !

I live in Van Buren county in Michigan. On painted signs around here, there still seems to be some dispute as to which way the middle line in the letter N goes……..we seem to be running about fifty fifty either way………Of course I’m dyslexic, it’s kind of academic to me…so no matter which way it’s supposed to be, I’ll still get it backwards….

@ Varnes: Tsk tsk. I expected as much from a RED state, but Michigan is a blue state …

If Plan Ahea doesn’t work, there’s always Plan Bhea…

None of you old enough to remember cracked magazine.

Somebody’s recycling – this is the exact same strip used March 4, 2008

To be robbed of the former is a crime; to be robbed of the latter is skulduggery.

Our tax dollars at work. Scary.

Then there’s the helpful sign on your way to your departure gate:PLANAHEA

That would B A most effictive sign

@proginoskes

Red state- (perfect warning that there are heavy concentrations of rednecks within).

@proginoskes

Red state-Tea Party nonsense and Sarah Palin welcome.

@Proginoskes-

Also, el Rushbo, Fox News and all right wing wackos.

Michigan blue? it’s blue? lol. a long time ago, but recently? the whole anti black, women democracy of late, special town managers, the take over of bl,ack towns. the outlawing of women in the state rep to say the “v” word.

gosh, it makes Florida sound liberal

This joke was first discovered on the wall of a cave in France.

Earlier this year, my daughters’ old Alma Mater, Lakewood High School, had a sign on its marquee that said, “LAEPING TO LITERACY NIGHT 6:30 P. M.” Oops! I drove back and forth by that sign all weekend without noticing.http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/02/28/sign-promoting-literacy-night-at-florida-high-school-misspelled-principal-notes/

From Wikipedia:

“The terms red states and blue states came into use in the United States presidential election of 2000 on an episode of the Today show on October 30, 2000 to refer to those states of the United States whose residents predominantly vote for the Republican Party or Democratic Party presidential candidates, respectively. According to AlterNet and The Washington Post, the terms were coined by journalist Tim Russert, during his televised coverage of the 2000 presidential election.”

This was the first time a color scheme became popular and consistant nationwide.Prior to 2000, the colors were used by all parties indiscriminately. One party might color their opponent red in the east Coast campaigns, but blue in the West Coast campaign, or blue this year and red the nest year.Why Red and Blue?Red, White and Blue, the colors of the US flag. White doesn’t work well in print media, red and blue stand out better.

Good thing he wasn’t doing a billboard for shiitake mushrooms.

Don’t think they planned ahead on that scaffolding eithe

All too common human trait.

Contracted out to the lowest bidder

That was suppose to read: Plant A Head of Lettuce

Too funny!

Adult Higher Education Alliance (AHEA), or Alberta, or etc.

A question for you…is going “Pro” worth it to a lowly commenter? (Been thinking about it, but the listed bennies in the Help forum don’t sell me; perhaps you can tell me a practical benefit?)

Saskfan: I found it ironic that when the Trail of Tears got the “savage” Cherokee out of their slightly gold-bearing homeland, the adult literacy rate of the European invaders was just over 30%, while the Cherokee were at 95%. There were the printing presses and type fonts of the Cherokee Phonix on some of those wagons. Three columns in English, two in Cherokee because a syllabary takes up less space than an alphabet.

And the Greens got their party colour automatically.

She asked who labeled the R as red.That’s what I answered.

Red as in red-blooded Americans,Blue as in blue collar.

Or any other color justification you want.

I’m old enough to remember Commie Reds and Pinko fellow travelers.

Today pink has entirely different meanings.

Things change.

The Southern states used to be solidly Democrats, and New England used to be solidly Republicans.

Plan ***ahead***? If you can figure out any other way to plan, please, please, let me know! (time travel not available yet!)

Romney planned a head. It is scheduled to arrive on the 24th.

I’ve often thought of that. Red (for me) says “Soviets” or Communists. Blue was a Whig (conservative) color, and most of the world followed them. Even Washington’s Buff and Blue were conservative revolutionary colors.

Papa Soady The first thing I should explain to you about Yoopers, is Yoopers don’t explain things……Jeff Daniels.

@ Dogsniff@ Johnny Diego@ Trusted Mechanic(Breathes a heavy and contented sigh of relief)It’s so nice when everyone makes up…now we can go back to being one big happy family!(Wishes there was a “mild” setting on this blasted sarcasm setting. :-)

Trusted, well the west side is very nice and very pretty, the dunes, Lake Michigan, the wineries…..did I mention the wineries?. The other side? Pretty sad….BTW, a view of the Saginaw Bay is pretty dismal right now….

Wrong magazine! You’re gonna make old Alfred E. get “MAD” !

Really, just looks like business as usual…….so what is new?

Remember, before you louse it up…
