Who really cares what O'Reilly, Hannity, Maddow, Limbaugh, Olberman and the rest of those pundits feel about an issue, if they do not prove they are right...which they never do?
*********************************************************
If the average grade nationwide on the S.A.T. exam is equivalent to 50%, isn't public education failing horribly?
*********************************************************
Considering the obesity level in America, wouldn't eating only two meals a day help?
