FR: This Hurricane is "Hugh and Series!"

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

What species are these creatures?

To: Pravious

The news from the President on Iraq was very important to say the least. They have agreed on a Constitution that ensures that everyone is equal under the law regardless of race, religion, or gender. That's hugh and series. I'd say he had a pretty good audience to get the news out since it doesn't seem that it would have any other way since it's all Katrina all the time.

they get ALL their news from TV, mostly FAUX, I'll bet, and believe every word their president says...

[Catch22Dem]

3. HAHAHAHAHA

That just made my weekend.

[napi21]

4. Yea, I heard him, but I also heard conflicting stories on the Sun AM shows

There were 3 different stories on the 3 different Sun AM shows, and now Shrub has yet a 4th version! Which one's right? Or are any of them?

II'm just going to wait until tomorrow or the next day to see what really happened with the Iraq Constitution.

5. Good lord. They are barely literate. They must've been homeskooled. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. LOL

:) good one

[shirlden]

23. Don't knock all home schoolers

I have a niece who hit 1600 on her SAT and got a full scholarship to MIT. Now an Aero Engineer. Her Mom and Dad did the home schooling.

25. my daughter home schooled...

...and is finishing her BS this semester. Home schooling was fantastic for her.

41. Doubt it. A homeschooler won the recent National Spelling Bee.

Most homeschoolers are very intelligent. In fact, it was a homeschooler that won the recent National Spelling Bee.

Anurag Kashyap WON the National Spelling Bee contest Thursday, June 2nd.
http://www.powayusd.com/news/speller.html

Anurag Kashyap of California became the U.S. spelling champ Thursday, beating 272 other spellers
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=2073455


Tied for second place were 11-year-old Samir Patel, who is home-schooled in Colleyville, Texas, and Aliya Deri, 13, a Pleasanton,
Calif., student.
<snip>

When the sixth round ended in the early afternoon of the second day, only 27 spellers remained, including a half dozen home-schoolers. Home-schooled students have won twice before, in 1997 and 2000.
<snip>

Homeschoolers make up just 2% of the student population, yet they had 22% in the top 27.
http://nces.ed.gov/

47.7 million children in public schools in 2001-2002
http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2003/overview03/#4

1.1 Million are Homeschooled
http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2004/2004115.pdf

5.3 million students in private schools in 2001-2002
http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2005/2005305.pdf


If you look at the reasons the NCES survey showed for homeschooling was:

31% homeschool because of the environment in Public Schools
30% to provide religious/moral teachings
16% because of the academics

For all those believing it is just the religious that home school, this shows that 47% of parents homeschool due to the poor academics and environment in the Public School system.

Home-schoolers create buzz in national bees - May 31, 2001

Homeschooler Wins State Spelling Bee!

Another bright homeschooler

Three of the past seven spelling bee winners have been homeschooled
http://www.hslda.org/docs/nche/000002/00000254.asp
Home school achievements, however, are not limited to spelling and geography bees. Marian Braaksma was recently elected “governor” at Arizona’s Annual YMCA Youth Model Legislature, becoming the first home schooled student figurehead for Arizona’s Youth and Government Program
<snip>

Also this year, five home schooled students from Richardson, TX, were recognized as winners at both the state and national levels of the NASA Seeds II Science Fair. Under the supervision of home school mom and teacher, Stacy Smith, these students wrote, directed and starred in a five-minute production designed to fit this year’s topic of space research in the classroom as an educational embarkment of the International Space Station.
<snip>

Seventeen year-old Garrett Young won the Glenn T. Seaborg Nobel Prize Visit Award in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Detriot, May 12, 2000. Garrett, a home schooled student from Branchburg, NJ, won for his physics project titled “Isolating Plasma Species Initiating Internal Electrostatic Fields for Plasma Heating.”
<snip>

This spring, home schooler William Schleifer of Jackson County, GA, won the National Federation of Music Club Composers Contest for the third time in a row. William, 17, and his brother Robert, 14, have studied piano under Keith Jefcoat, director of preparatory music at Brenau University and both boys have competed in the Georgia Music Teachers Association’s Spring Auditions at the University of Georgia.
<snip>

Another home school student making her mark in the music world is 11-year-old Brighton Goode of Madison, Mississippi. Though she has not had her own school choir or orchestra to perform in, Brighton has excelled as a singer and pianist.
<snip>

Home schoolers are doing well in more unusual competitions as well. Two years ago, Chris Mayernik, a 12-year-old home schooled student from Fairfax, VA, won the national 1998 Lego Deep Sea Challenge Build-a-thon. Home schooler Paul Griebenow from Tazewell, VA, is a national champion in flying battery-powered, 6-to-8-foot-wingspan aircraft.
<snip>

Not only do home schoolers win state and national academic competitions, but they also score 67 points above average on SAT college entrance exams.2
<snip>

In spite of—or perhaps because of—their specially tailored education, home schoolers have proven competitive right through higher education. For example, in the fall of 1999, Stanford University accepted 27 percent of home schooled applicants, nearly double the university’s overall acceptance rate.3

42. Not all parents are capable of homeschooling properly. That said,

there are, of course, many brilliant and talented home schooled children. I have a very religious and conservative friend who home schools her daughter. She has excellent English and writing skills in addition to a degree in Civil Engineering from Georgia Tech. She is very capable and intelligent.

There are, unfortunately, many parents in my part of the country who home school but who do not have the skills to do it well. They tend to stress religion (Christian conservative variety) and ideas like creationism and intelligent design. These children are not prepared to attend public colleges. Many of them have expressed shock that evolution is taught in biology classes at public colleges in GA. They are simply not prepared to be enrolled in a college level science course. They do not read widely.

We even had a local (Oconee County) school board member who once said: "I didn't read much when I was a kid and it didn't hurt me none." He was in favor of book banning in the local public schools.

[Pepper32]

46. I never said they were... The point is most Homeschoolers do well

...academically and are not illiterate/stupid as your previous post suggest.

[Cocoa]

6. I thought it was Katrina

:shrug:

[Mairead]

8. Spelling-sneers are unworthy of liberals.

There are plenty folk here who aren't any more meticulous about spelling.

[CottonBear]

21. We usually try to spell-check or edit our posts once we realize we've made

mistakes. Perhaps some of these folks are just poor spellers or have learning disabilities. However, it's hard to explain the huge numbers of them who can't spell and don't even seem to realize that they can't spell or write using proper punctuation and grammar.

[pretzel4gore]

40. some DU'ers just have trouble typing

they spell veddy good...
meanwhile freepers think the holes in donuts is there so they can breathe

[mike_c]

9. with all due respect....

Must we make fun of people's typing errors? It's clear that the poster is not "illiterate" as one reply suggested. My guess is that he/she made some typos-- something that I do all the time-- then used the spell checker in a hurry and accepted incorrect suggested changes. Don't you think it's a bit juvenile to jeer at simple errors like this?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

22. After all the stones that Limbaugh, Hannity and the likes of

the cretins that populate FR throw at us?

I love to throw a few softballs back at them every now and then.

(he spell checks carefully... No words changed)

[parasim]

28. Perhaps just typos...

... but I do have to say that I have seen the word "serious" spelled "series" over there fairly often. I rarely can stand being there for longer than 30 seconds, but yesterday I put on the hip boots and waded around in the toxic waters of FR reading a thread where they were foaming at mouth about Cindy and I noticed it 3 or 4 times.

36. lol-- that's a great pic-- and a strong dose, too....

eom

[Debs]

43. Overall I agree, however

I am looking at my keyboard here and the h really isn't that close to the e in fact I for one use different fingers to type the e, than I do to type the h, touch typists use a different hand entirely

[htuttle]

10. There is so much at steak!!11

I think we have a new catchprase people:

"Hugh and Series!11!!1"

[Fla Dem]

11. Morons, Morons, Morons!! nuf said. n/t

[Jade Fox]

12. Hugh and Series. Are they the new Siegfried and Roy? n/t

[IChing]

17. No but they use to play for moran moran back in the 80's

[Lex]

20. LOL!

You guys are killin' me here.

[Jade Fox]

24. Hey, I LOVED Moran, Moran!

Let's not stoop to ridiculing people for their crappy musical taste!!!

It's unworthy of us as Liberals. :cry:

[IChing]

30. hugh and series were in the band derision before moran moran

Where they wrote these famous songs

Is There Something I Should Know? (about Reagan)
A View to a shrill

Save a Prayer (unless your'e jewish or moslem)
Hungry Like the Wolf for pork

Planet Earth (who cares?)

Union of the Snake

New Moon on Monday ( I think)

Mild Boys

Some of my favorite songs are from these two prolific songwriters.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. Karen Hughes is not amused

That is not how one should pronounce her name.

[Stephanie]

15. that's their own little "moran" in-joke

they do it all the time

[fishnfla]

37. yes, thats what I'd think

the rest of the message is written correctly. Its an inside joke (on some DUers today)

[karlrschneider]

16. And Cindy is stocking the presnit!

:eyes:

[Jade Fox]

27. I guess that's why they compared her to Santa Claus.

He stocks everyone!

Well actually, only those who have been good. Use your coal well, George.

[madrchsod]

18. it really amazes me just how stupid these people are

the depression is just a few hours away and they still praise the boy king. it would certainly be nice to have those 130,000 troops ready to rebuild Louisiana

[DanCa]

19. Wow is this why they voted for the idiot?

Kerry was unable to dumb down his speeches to one syllable mispelled words, so they voted for the chimp that spoke thier own gibberish?

[gennifer6]

26. Unfortunately, they probably meant to use "hugh" and "series"

pardon the English major in me, but because "hugh" and "series" are common words, it is most likely our Freeper friend MEANT to type those words, indicating it is not a typing error but a mental error in vocabulary.


that's putting it nicely....

[The_Casual_Observer]

29. What news? Did I miss something about that constitution?

[Hubert Flottz]

31. Katrina is stocking Bush's radio dog and pony show...

I hope the freepers can save their honer and dignitude!11!!!!111!

[sakabatou]

32. The must've drank massive amounts of Kool-Aid

[theHandpuppet]

33. Bolt the shudders!

There are hugh morans at the gates!

[Kali]

35. and man are they series!

I get a little self concious when folks make fun of the morans' spelling, because mine is pretty bad too, and I make a LOT of typos and I am too lazy to figure out the spell check system for DU, but dammit...they are SUCH MMMOOORRRAAANNNSSS!!!!!!

[Catchawave]

38. Had MSNBC on all morning anticipating Bush's speech.....

..but...all I heard was Iraq-Iraq-Iraq :(

Good grief, I hope he wasn't taking advantage of the storm coverage audience to blah-blah-blah his anti-Cindy message? :scared:

[Maestro]

39. Please tell me they do this now because they know we

are watching. This is just so pathetic. I understand typos every now and then, but the continual misspelling of simple words is just, well, again pathetic and sad. What idiots!

[Bluebear]

44. "since it's all Katrina all the time" FUCK YOU

Yes, this disaster HERE is more 'series' than your fucking Bush constitution.

[Fleshdancer]

45. these are the same "morans" who got pissy over the Katrina coverage

because it took time away from their pathetic counter protest footage. pathetic. :eyes:
