Open Question: If illegals are costing one state their education costs are nearly $12 billion annually how much would it be?
If illegals are costing one state their education costs are nearly $12 billion annually how much would it be if an accounting of the costs were added up across America ? The legislator most responsible for bringing comprehensive immigration reform — the law-and-order kind — to the Sooner State presses on.

State Rep. Randy Terrill, a Republican member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, has authored a bill — Quality of Education Assessment for Oklahoma Citizens Act of 2010 — which would mandate that public school districts “measure and assess” how many of the enrolled students are here illegally.

One purpose of the assessment? To learn what the cost is to legal Oklahomans.

It’s a fair query.

And a pertinent one.

The education of these children is no small endeavor. Taxpayers have a right to know those numbers, as do lawmakers who bear the responsibility of crafting and voting for state budgets. Citing statistics compiled by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), of Washington, D.C., Terrill estimates that in 2006 Oklahoma spent $160 million a year educating students who are unlawfully in the United States. Nationwide the total K-12 public school expenditure for illegal immigrant education costs the states nearly $12 billion annually.

Americans have to thank the U.S. Supreme Court for this educational budget buster.

In a 5-to-4 majority vote, the Supremes, in the case known as Plyler v. Doe (1982), ruled that states cannot withhold education funding to children who are illegal aliens. This, despite the fact that Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., writing for the majority, opined that “public education is not a ‘right’ granted to individuals by the Constitution.”

That confession, from an unapologetic liberal no less, is of scant comfort to those who, today, bear the burden for instructing those students due to this bizarre foray into judicial activism.

Resolved Question: If you have read The Outsiders……?
What grade would you give my essay?
I’ve already posted this once, i know. I feel really annoying but I NEED an awesome grade on this.

Okay, well I just finished the Outsiders in english and we had to pick our favorite character and write an essay on how they change through out the novel. I really need a good grade, can you please tell me what you think about my essay.
oh, the format was
Paragraph 1- Intro
Paragraph 2- How the character is in the beginning
Paragraph 3- What conflicts does the character face and how does he/she react
Paragraph 4- What is the character like at the end of the story
Paragraph 5- Conclusion

S. E Hinton’s novel, The Outsiders, is the story of teenagers growing up in Oklahoma in the early 1960’s. There is an ongoing war between the social classes, the Socs, and the Greasers. Dallas Winston (Dally) is a 17 year old greaser. He has very light blonde hair, ice blue eyes, and sharp features. Dally changes because of the conflicts he encounters throughout the story.
Dally is a greaser. Not only is he a greaser, he’s pretty much a full fledged hood. He‘s the meanest, and definitely the toughest. Dally is from the streets of New York. He’s seen people killed in real gang fights, he was arrested at age ten, he lies, cheats, steals, fights. According to Ponyboy, Dally “has a hatred of the whole world” (10). Dally is really cold and doesn’t seem to really care about anyone, except Johnny. When Johnny got jumped, Dally didn’t take it easily. “Dally had seen people killed on the streets of New York’s west side, why did he look sick now?” Ponyboy thought after seeing Dally’s face when Johnny got jumped (33). If a guy as rough and tough as Dallas Winston, who has seen shoot outs go down left and right, looks sick when he sees Johnny all beat up, it shows that he really, truly cares about him. So, although he may be cold, mean, and hard, he does have a soft spot, although he may not show it often, for Johnny.
Fast forward to when Ponyboy and Johnny were saving the kids from the burning church in Windrixville. When Johnny and Pony were inside, Dally ran in and risked his life to save Johnny’s. Dally got Johnny out of the flaming church after a huge piece of wood knocked him unconscious, and Dally ended up saving Ponyboy’s life too by knocking him out of the fire. If it was anyone else but Johnny, anyone else, Dally almost definitely wouldn’t have done that. Dally and Johnny had to be hospitalized. Dally was fine but Johnny was in bad shape. “We got to win that fight tonight. We gotta get even with the Socs, for Johnny.” (125) Dally said, after Two-Bit and Pony delivered the news that Johnny wasn’t doing too well. The greasers did win the rumble and Dally and Pony left immediately to deliver the news to Johnny. When they saw Johnny, he really was in bad condition. Dally and Ponyboy tried talking to him and told him the news, but it was too late to even have a conversation. Johnny said his last words, and died. Dally couldn’t handle it. He got up, punched the wall, and ran out. Dally is overwhelmed by anger and sadness, probably feeling like he is responsible for Johnny’s death because he told Johnny and Ponyboy to go to the church in the first place. Johnny, the only thing Dally has every loved, is dead. “Dallas is gone. He ran out like the devil was after him. He’s going to blow up. He couldn’t take it.”(152) Ponyboy said to Darry. Ponyboy was right. Dally robbed a grocery store and now was running from the cops. When the cops caught up with him in the lot, Dally pulled out his unloaded gun, which he previously told Ponyboy was only used for a bluff, and the police shot him down. Now that Johnny was dead, Dally had nothing to live for and wanted to die. So he set up his own death. He committed suicide and Ponyboy knew it. No one ever would have thought that Dallas Winston had a breaking point, but he did.
It may not seem like Dally’s character changed throughout the novel. His character was bitter, mean, and cold in the beginning and remained that way to the end. Dally’s character change did not come in his personality traits or his actions, but the change was in his emotions. Dally went through his whole life hard and cold, not dealing with his emotions or feelings. The only person Dally ever opened up to was Johnny. Johnny was the only thing Dally ever loved. When Johnny died, the pain inside Dally was so intense that he finally has to deal with his emotions for the first time. The overwhelming feelings of grief, sadness, and anger took over him and he couldn’t take it. He couldn’t handle the intense feelings he was having, so he gave up, and committed suicide.

(I didn’t do my conclusion yet….)

Thanks! :)

Open Question: Would WrestleMania26 be the Same with out “Good ol’” J.R. on commentating?
This is from a Pro-wrestling news site

As noted before, Jim Ross made an appearance before the live crowd at last night’s RAW in Oklahoma City. There were fan reports saying Ross told the fans he would be ringside at WrestleMania but Ross cleared it up on Twitter later, saying he hopes to be ringside at WrestleMania and it’s nothing confirmed. Reports say that JR looked better than he has in a while and has lost some weight.

I think J.R.brings something special to big PPVs and Mania is the biggest.
I think he should really call the HBk and Taker match.It should be another classic and J.R’s voice makes it a little more classic.IMO
What do you think?

Resolved Question: Why is Fox News now calling Glenn Beck part of the liberal media?
Fox News Grapevine 2/19/10
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,586985,00.html
Hours after Joseph Stack crashed his plane into that Austin, Texas office building, some in the media speculated about a possible link between him and the tea party movement.

New York Magazine wrote of his Internet manifesto: “A lot of his rhetoric could have been taken directly from a handwritten sign at a Tea Party rally.”

A Washington Post blog read: “His alienation is similar to what we’re hearing from the extreme elements of the Tea Party movement.”

And Time magazine’s online write-up twice included links to a background on the Tea Party movement, which have since been removed.

Media commentator Bernie Goldberg compares the coverage to that of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, when liberals blamed conservative talk radio and Rush Limbaugh in particular. Today Goldberg writes that: “The liberal media is playing connect the dots again. For the record, there is no evidence whatsoever that Joe Stack belonged to any Tea Party organization or ever attended a Tea Party. None.”

Resolved Question: What do U think about illegal alien gangs terrorizing OK CITY the most dangerous gang “The South Side Loco’s.?
One state lawmaker is calling gun-carrying illegal immigrants “thugs.”Representative Mike Christian, R-Oklahoma City says gang activity is tied to illegal immigrants and he wants something done about it.
FOX23’s Abbie Alford explains what the proposed law (HB3341) would do if illegal immigrants are caught with a firearm.
They’re known as one of Oklahoma City’s most dangerous gang, “The South Side Loco’s.”
Representative Christian says it’s that gang and other gangs that are turning southern Oklahoma City into quote “Little Bagdad” by illegal immigrant gangs.
The Representative is proposing any illegal immigrant caught with a firearm to face a $5,000 fine and up to ten years in prison.
One FOX23 viewer on Facebook wrote, “”Illegal Immigrants caught with guns should face a long prison sentence if caught period. Also, gang violence won’t stop unless the community steps up and does something about it.”
This proposed gun law now goes to the full house for a vote.
The author of the bill says if convicted felons face the same punishment for carrying a firearm so should illegal immigrants caught with a firearm.

However, there’s another proposed law (HB1828) floating around the State House that would make it legal for certain non-violent convicted felons to carry a shotgun or rifle for hunting purposes.
That bill has been referred to the Public Safety committee.

Open Question: Would WrestleMania26 be the Same with out “Good ol’” J.R. on commentating?
This is from a Pro-wrestling news site

As noted before, Jim Ross made an appearance before the live crowd at last night’s RAW in Oklahoma City. There were fan reports saying Ross told the fans he would be ringside at WrestleMania but Ross cleared it up on Twitter later, saying he hopes to be ringside at WrestleMania and it’s nothing confirmed. Reports say that JR looked better than he has in a while and has lost some weight.

I think J.R.brings something special to big PPVs and Mania is the biggest.
I think he should really call the HBk and Taker match.It should be another classic and J.R’s voice makes it a little more classic.IMO
What do you think?
Thanx

Open Question: In your opinion, would Senator Inhofe make a great candidate for the 2012 Republican Presidential ticket?

Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.)
Jim DeMint (R-S.C.)
Jim Bunning (R-Ky.)
Tom Coburn (R-Okla.)
Jim Risch (R-Idaho)
John Thune (R-S.D.)
John Ensign (R-Nev.)
Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)
Richard Burr (R- N.C.)
Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.)

The top 10 most liberal members of the Senate are:

Senator Inhofe made the following statements:

Voting Question: I am trying out new writing styles, how is this one? (Not very long)?
Alright, I’m not the smartest person in the world and wearing Uggs on the coldest and snowiest day in Oklahoma probably wasn’t my best idea. Every time I took a step snow would melt against the chestnut fur and soak my feet. Uggs are great for coldness, but rain and snow? Uh, not so much.

I guess I was the only one who didn’t get the memo it was going to be so snowy because everyone else was bundled up and left the Uggs at home. School stinks anyway, but walking around with soaked shoes and being told I peed on them made it just a tad bit worse.

“You could have told me it was going to snow.” I shivered, envying my best friends water-proof shoes and thick red coat.

“Sorry. I thought you would have checked the weather!” Sandra walked next to me sipping on her usual white mocha. She tapped her cup with her pinkie. “Or brought something to warm up with.”

“We don’t have internet connection at the orphanage, remember? I am also pretty sure no one else would want to watch the news.” I pulled my thin black sweater closer to my body. “Sorry, no Starbucks their either.”

“Right, right. Keep forgetting.” Sandra threw the empty coffee cup into the trashcan on the bus we had just entered.

I shrugged and scrunched up my nose, getting use to the smell of under bathed kids, gum, and probably rotten food under the seats. We sat down at our usual bus seats were Sandra can check out the “sexies”, as she called them, which is pretty much the whole race of guys.

“Let me see…I think I need to re-new my sexies list. Old ones are getting boring…” Sandra looked around the bus, smiling at anyone who looked at her.

“You are so shallow!” I rolled my eyes at her. “Scratch that! You’re a kiddie pool!”

“Thanks you!” She placed her hand over her heart and pretended to look touched. “That is the nicest thing you have ever told me!”

Let me say this know, i never usually write like this! I am experimenting, what do YOU guys think? You can say whatever you want, but please excuse my horrible grammar!
Don’t think that’s a good think…Yeah, i didn’t like this very much either…I am probably going to stick to my original style, it is more me. :)
