It's an excellent program that takes college graduates and trains them, puts them into high need schools for two years. The success that teach for america teachers have in these classrooms is pretty amazing. It's really interesting and also a lot of great grad schools have huge grants for doing teach for america.

Ugh, I hate writing these types of essays. I really hope I can get into this program Does anyone have any experience with Teach For America?

WOOOWOOOOOOOOOOOo haha, read the first 4 pages of the game thread. People were beginning to call Cy Bannister.

Journalism isn't writing an encyclopedia. People are writing about things as they are happening and don't have the luxury of looking back at all the events to seeing the whole picture. So you are mad that MSNBC found out that Raines was an advisor, yea? They had two statements, one from the McCain campaign saying raines had large influence on Obama's economic policy, then one from Obama saying he has never been an advisor. And then they end on that Raines was an advisor. And you are mad about that? Why? Because they didn't take the GOP version, which you assume is the truth?

DAMN THEM FOR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE TRUTH

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 06:37 PM) The people who said that are idiots. My prediction is that the polls will all be within margin of error on election day. What a surprise, eh? One thing I will bet all my money on, Missouri will be so close that I'll be forced to stay at the newsroom until 2 a.m. like every freaking election. Even our local elections for assessor go down to the wire.

It was just really odd for me, that when Obama got his convention bounce, everyone called it a convention bounce. When McCain got a convention bounce, it was McCain taking over!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 06:19 PM) For Obama I wish he addressed factory farming somehow like John Edwards did. Abhorrent abuse of animals aside, the amount of greenhouse gasses produced by these places are worse than the output of vehicles. I also would like to hear more discussion on public transportation but who am I kidding. Which Presidential candidate would ever make that part of their core issues? I just feel like both of those issues are usually in state debates.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) Yowza. That's some holy entertainment there. You know it sucks because saying your car accident was caused by a Kenyan woman's spells doesn't get you far in traffic court. I'm glad someone is fighting for us.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 01:16 AM) Are you complaining about my use of the word 'yell'? How about chastise? Chide? Set straight? Bottom line is I have been told several times in this, and previous, posts that the examples I used were state level officeials, and that if a national level person was mentioned, then the affiliation would be noted. I pointed out that those assertations were not always correct. I was, yes. And I would disagree with all the words you used, I was presenting my argument, you - yours. My point was that with local officials, they often don't identify with a national party unless we are talking big city. And even though Daley is a democrat, I find it hard to categorize his policies in the national scheme of things. Clearly the 10.25% sales tax could be as such though. But ultimately, it's going to come down to the individual journalist on that individual paper. At mine, for congressman/woman, we identify precinct and party right after any of their names. For others they may deem it not part of the story. But my point was with things like Larry Craig and Vitter, I do think their party was important to the story, because they ran a family values/against gay rights republican platform. Now, wouldn't it be less of a relevant part of the story if a democrat who fought for gay rights turned out to be gay? I think so. Dog bites man.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 05:54 PM) They especially despise McCain's stance on immigration. former stance.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 04:53 PM) I have been yelled at in several different replies that the party isn't mentioned when the story concerns local officials like govenors and state reps, but IS mentioned when it references congressmen. Just pointing out that ommission, however minor to the story it may be. How do you yell with type? Listen, if you want to have an honest discussion on this, let's have it. I've not been crusading in this thread with righteous indignation, I've not been yelling. You are making your points and I'm making mine, so let's not always take everything to an extreme.
