As I listened to the radio today coming home from a business meeting (it went\u00a0well) I was turned on to this\u00a0website<\/a>. It took me a while to pull myself away from the “slap”\u00a0button long enough to look at the rest of the content – and it turns out there\u00a0is a lot of good content there.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re going to get rid of the\u00a0high school diploma, they said, and reorient everything toward\u00a0vocational education, aiming at a certificate of competency by age 16.Skilled workers, as they go through life, will have to keep earning\u00a0additional certificates, which will be administered by unelected state\u00a0boards and regulatory agencies. Your name and certifications will go\u00a0into a national labor data bank, in which all employers will be required\u00a0by law to list all their available jobs, which will then be matched up\u00a0to people.” – article<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In fact, if you found that article interesting you might want to\u00a0take a look at the biography<\/a>\u00a0that the articles author wrote about the subject of this little diatribe of\u00a0mine.\u00a0If you want still more, it seems the good folks over on Everything2<\/a>\u00a0have a lot to say [1<\/a>][2<\/a>][3<\/a>][4<\/a>]\u00a0on the topic of our dear First\u00a0Lady<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“After she got over that\u00a0hump, her office announced at the beginning of the second Clinton\u00a0administration that Hillary\u2019s number-one project was going to be\u00a0community development banks. They created an agency over at the Treasury\u00a0Department, and there was a lot of pressure from the White House to give\u00a0out grants, though it turned out no proper evaluation procedure had ever\u00a0been set up. So the lion\u2019s share of the money simply went to\u00a0institutions with which Hillary had long associations.When Congress asked questions about this, the\u00a0fellow in charge went back and wrote the evaluations up, and backdated\u00a0them. He was caught and had to resign. Though Mrs. Clinton\u2019s office\u00a0had claimed this was her number-one project, when it collapsed, Hillary\u00a0suddenly had nothing to do with the initiative at all.”\u00a0– article<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know, I know. No doubt the slaphillary.com<\/a>\u00a0website will be railed against by indignant ‘feminist\u00a0media watchers<\/a>‘\u00a0 everywhere that will predict the decline and fall of\u00a0all society if such a thing is allowed to exist. To be fair, most feminists<\/a>\u00a0have only a loose grasp on the concept of freedom\u00a0of speech<\/a> as it is.<\/p>\n

The site is a perfect example of what political satire is all\u00a0about – bring ’em in with humor and then get ’em interested in the information<\/a>\u00a0you are trying to present. The hue and cry is not really going to \u00a0prevent\u00a0that… because dammit:\u00a0Slapping Hillary is just plain fun!<\/p>\n
