10/8    Can we call the governor "The Fuhrer"?
        \_ Arnold is no fascist, but there is something disturbing about
           the emotional justification people seem to have for voting for
           Arnold, and how inextricably linked it is to his violent movies
           and violent entertainment.  I don't think its exactly healthy
           for our democracy.
        \_ http://www.statestats.com/edrank03.htm
           Notice we're behind Florida now.  We're clearly on a trend
           to be America's Dumbest State!  We #1!  Woo!
           \_ Nah, Alabama's gunning for #1, and they've got a lot of
              experience.
        \_ He's from Austria so he's a Nazi/Hitler clone?  If he was from
           some other country with >insert your favorite minority here<
              \_ HAHAHHAHAHA you're going to try to claim that calling him
                 a Nazi because of his background isn't racist?  BWAHAHHAA!
           would it still be ok to make racist comments about him?
           \_ Do you know what racism _is_?  Prejudice yes, racism no.
              \_ [ censor me, I'll censor you, fuckwad ]

5/19    Mildred Patricia Baena looked ugly even for her age.  Why would Arnold
        have fallen for her??

           \_ Nobody would vote for a pres candidate with such a bad taste.

8/12    Thanks for destroying the world's finest public University!
        http://tinyurl.com/kr92ob (The Economist)
        \_ Why not raise tuition? At private universities, students generate
           revenue. Students should not be seen as an expense. UC has
           been a tremendous bargain for most of its existence. It's time
           to raise tuition to match the perceived quality of the

2/16    By the way, you had better hope you're not owed a CA state tax refund
        this year.  You'll be getting an IOU instead:

        of stupid radio DJs to start a drive to recall Arnold?

        \_ It will only help if we get a governor with a spine, and get rid of

        Schwarzenegger appointed former Democratic Assemblywoman Nicole Parra
        to a newly created $128,124-a-year job and named former Republican

        \_ It seems like he has a decent chance of getting out in 15 years.
           Would they let him use computers in jail?
           \_ CA pretty much doesn't give parole to murderers anymore.
              And I suspect his computer use will be pretty much non-

This column shows how each state ranked in the 2002-2003 Smartest State Award competition. Please note that these results are not directly comparable to this years rankings due to changes in factors. METHODOLOGY -This second Smartest State designation is awarded based on 21 factors chosen from Morgan Quitnos annual reference book, Education State Rankings, 2003-2004 . Most of the factors are the same as those used to determine last years award. However, based partially on feedback from readers, four factors were replaced. Gone are factors measuring the percent of teachers with training for IEP students, the percent of teachers stating that physical conflicts among students were a problem at their school and the percent of teachers who believed that routine duties and paperwork interfered with their jobs. Also dropped was the average teacher salary, a factor that many readers contended unfairly favored states with high costs of living. Instead, we have retained the factor relating average salary to a states average annual pay. The new factors measure special education pupil-teacher ratios, students writing ability and the interest parents take in homework. To determine the Smartest State rankings, the 21 factors were divided into two groups: those that are negative for which a high ranking would be considered bad for a state, and those that are positive for which a high ranking would be considered good. Rates for each of the 21 factors were processed through a formula that measures how a state compares to the national average for a given category. The positive and negative nature of each factor was taken into account as part of the formula. Once these computations were made, the factors then were assigned equal weights. These weighted scores then were added together to get a states final score Smart Rating on the table above. This way, states are assessed based on how they stack up against the national average. The end result is that the farther below the national average a states education ranking is, the lower and less smart it ranks. The farther above the national average, the higher and smarter a state ranks. This same methodology is used for our annual Healthiest State, Safest and Most Dangerous State and Safest/Dangerous City Awards. The table above shows how each state scored in Morgan Quitnos second annual Smartest State Award. The table above shows how each state scored in Morgan Quitnos second annual Smartest State Award.
