What is going on in this country?! I cannot believe this!

One of our local School Districts in Illinois, Harlem District No. 122, has posted a Notice on its website that it will not allow students to watch President Obama's speech to students on Tuesday.

The District obviously equates our US President with online porn since he is delivering his remarks via the internet.

Here is the Notice, along with my comments:

One year and 18 days ago, I published a diary here on DKos about a letter I received from Teddy Kennedy over 35 years ago. While my diary at that time was prompted by John Edward's admissions concerning his marital fidelity, my purpose in writing it was to let everyone know that I personally had proof that at least one person in D.C. had demonstrated real integrity.

That person was Ted Kennedy.

We will miss him.

That diary from August 26, 2008, is below the fold:

Possessing an advance of former Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge's new book, Chris Matthews broke the story on Hardball today that Ridge admits being pushed by Rumsfield and Ashcroft to raise the Homeland Security Level the weekend before the 2004 Presidential election, even though the Homeland Security Department saw no reason to do it. The sensational quote from the book referenced in Matthew's Report essentially says that Ridge thought that maybe something more was behind the request than the nation's security, like Bush's re-election.

I have a confession to make. I am a 47 year old male, husband, father of two, and a...

Girlfriend.

At least I was until Noon today.

After I pulled my car into the garage tonight, I trudged through the snow to get to my mailbox. Expecting the usual utility bills, catalogs, and credit card promos that usually greet me, I was truly surprised when I found a large envelope from the Inaugural Committee.

Standing in the slushy street, in the dark with the snow coming down, I moved a few steps away from my mailbox to get under a street lamp in order to get a better look at the what I was holding. I carefully opened the flap, peered in, and immediately recognized what was inside...

While driving home from work, I was listening to the Tom Hartman Program on Air America. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

After driving into Springfield the night before, my wife and I, along with our two young daughters, got in line for the rally at about 9 am. We were 2 1/2 sides of a block away (which was close when you see the overhead pictures of the line taken a little later). While waiting, we chatted with a great older couple who had brought there 9 year old grandson. The gentleman was telling us about a JFK Rally he had been to in Phoenix in 1960, which was fun to hear about. I told them I always enjoyed waiting in line at these type of events because I know everyone I'm talking to is a Democrat!

In case you are not up on your Lincoln history, Abe appointed four of his major political rivals to serve in his cabinet: Samuel Chase, Simon Cameron, William Seward, and Edward Bates. When appointed to their positions, each of these men held pretty much the same opinion of Lincoln: He was not even fit to be elected Dog-Catcher and the Presidency should have been theirs.

These men didn't hold back anything and Lincoln knew what they thought of him when he appointed them. He was so sure of himself, though, he didn't care. Lincoln knew they could help him save the union and he was going to save the union. By the time he was assassinated, Lincoln had won them over and they considered Lincoln an amazing man and were in awe of him.

So, what does this have to do with the VP slot, you ask...

I was born in 1961, six months after JFK Jr was born. I do not understand why, but while growing up I was absolutely fascinated by JFK. I would read everything and anything I could get my hands on about him. His picture hung in my bedroom. Kind of strange, I know, but he was my hero when I was a kid.

Then, when I was 11 or 12 years old, the stories started appearing in the newspaper that JFK had an affair with Judith Campbell Exner. Well, to put it mildly, I was devastated and absolutely refused to believe it. Obviously, the newspaper was wrong. How could they print things like that? I was furious.

According to the US DOJ's website, an American citizen must file a written petition with the Office of the Pardon Attorney in order to be considered for a commutation by the President. According to these instructions, the petitioner must completely and accurately answer the questions on a petition that is on the website.

What is absolutely hillarious is that the instructions and form state:

"The submission of any material, false information punsihable by up to five years' imprisonment and a fine of not more than $250,000."
