As I listened to the radio today coming home from a business meeting (it went well) I was turned on to this website. It took me a while to pull myself away from the “slap” button long enough to look at the rest of the content – and it turns out there is a lot of good content there.
“We’re going to get rid of the high school diploma, they said, and reorient everything toward vocational education, aiming at a certificate of competency by age 16.Skilled workers, as they go through life, will have to keep earning additional certificates, which will be administered by unelected state boards and regulatory agencies. Your name and certifications will go into a national labor data bank, in which all employers will be required by law to list all their available jobs, which will then be matched up to people.” – article

Sound interesting? Follow the link and see more where that comes from.

I know, I know. No doubt the slaphillary.com website will be railed against by indignant ‘feminist media watchers‘ everywhere that will predict the decline and fall of all society if such a thing is allowed to exist. To be fair, most feminists have only a loose grasp on the concept of freedom of speech as it is.
The site is a perfect example of what political satire is all about – bring ’em in with humor and then get ’em interested in the information you are trying to present. The hue and cry is not really going to prevent that… because dammit: Slapping Hillary is just plain fun!
