Kasich just gave up, but doesn't yet realize it

Mar 14, 2016 11:24AM PDT

How do I know that? Because guess who's on his bus as he travels around Ohio today? Mitt Romney. Why would you want a 2 time loser endorsing you?! Traveling with you? Standing on the stage with you? Oh Kasich, you just blew it big time.

Trade versus vocational
Mar 16, 2016 5:01AM PDT

As I recall, "trades" meant working with the hands while "vocations" were more varied. Trade schools were targeted toward males while vocational training could attract both genders. I'm thinking that vocational training gave way to or overlapped such as were offered in junior colleges and technical schools. For instance, doctors and nurses were required to have college degrees. Assistants to doctors and nurses didn't need the same level of academic training and vocational and junior colleges could fulfill requirements for their employment. I don't know where things have gone since then as government regulation and licensing practices have turned everything upside down for many career choices. But you're right that the trades were a different animal. People who entered those generally were introduced by a friend or family member. There wasn't an application process or tuition to be paid either. Eventually, the complexity of some did require greater knowledge. HVAC is one example of simple morphing to high-tech needs.

Fed Gov mandates regarding food being served that bankrupts the school budget because kids don't eat the crap).

So, they eat at the fast food joint down the road...THAT's where they get obese.

During High School in the '60s
Mar 15, 2016 9:01AM PDT

there were two distinct paths offered for students. One curriculum was called "Academic" and the other was "Vocational". Students could take electives in either path. The vocational path was different for males and females, however. Boys took "Shop" and girls took either secretarial or "Home Economics" classes. Another course of study, as I call, was referred to as "Distributive Education". This was a work-study path where students attended classes 1/2 day and were placed in various work environments the other 1/2 day. Times are quite different now but this suited the needs back then. I don't recall that many students who were strictly on a path toward college, however, but High School was more a time of discernment than decision.

The worst campaign of his life
Mar 16, 2016 3:33PM PDT


There's a number of these songs on youtube. Makes you almost feel sorry for him.
======================================

Another poll comes in, I'm down to seventh place.
Another month of this and I'll be out of the race.
Trump cucked me once again, I tried to be a tough guy.
I call my Jewish donors and ask for a reason why.

I tried to stump the Trump again.
And still my polls don't rise.
It's been the worst campaign of my life

So take the guac bowls and my troll Hispanic wife.
Put them away and help me to end my life.
Trump's now at 42 and I am stuck at 3.
I wonder if a fall from this height would kill me.

I tried to stump the Trump again.
And still my polls don't rise.
It's been the worst campaign of my life.
