    “Nearly half of female graduates would not go to university if they had the chance again.”

    “Young women seem to think university ‘a waste of time’.”

    “One in seven women said they had been forced to postpone getting married because a wedding would be too expensive.”

    What women REALLY want: To marry a rich man and stay at home with the children
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1345520/What-women-REALLY-want-To-marry-rich-man-stay-home-children.html#ixzz1BsIQofnl

    “Most women still prefer to marry a man who earns more money than they do and would stay at home with their children if they could afford it, according to a survey published yesterday.”

    “Despite years of equality campaigning and advances for women in the workplace, 64 per cent said they aspire to find a husband who brings home a larger pay packet than they do. None wanted to marry a man who earned less.”

    “And 69 per cent said they would prefer to stay at home to look after their children if money were not an issue.”

    Charts of the Day: Employment
    http://hotair.com/archives/2010/07/10/charts-of-the-day-employment/

    “The financial collapse also battered our northern neighbor, Canada, although not quite to the same extent it did us. (Canada has more conservative banking and lending policies, which shielded them from the worst of the problems.) Instead of using a blizzard of government spending to correct a downturn in unemployment, Canada tightened its belt and rode it out.”

    My sons (11 and 16) wanted to listen to these lectures, so we joined Glenn Beck’s Insider Extreme last week. They were impressed with the first lecture, and also enjoy watching the live webcam of the Glenn Beck program. Fun(ny) stuff!!

    Levi Johnston Apologizes to Palin Family for ‘Youthful Indiscretion’
    http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20399773,00.html

    “Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true,” he tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize.”

    I wonder if he is getting big bucks to get back in the good graces of the Palin family in order to give the media dirt.

    “Mommy, what is Canada’s debt?”

    | June 3, 2010

    I hardly have my eyes open in the morning when B11 comes downstairs with the questions (that I have to Google)… “Mommy, what is Canada’s debt?”… Canada certainly can’t afford to continue on this track… But people think they are entitled to having everything for free…

    All the Teachers Fired

    Unionized Rhode Island Teachers Refuse To Work 25 Minutes More Per Day, So Town Fires All Of Them
    http://www.businessinsider.com/henry-blodget-unionized-rhode-island-teachers-refuse-to-work-25-minutes-more-per-day-so-town-fires-all-of-them-2010-2

    “A school superintendent in Rhode Island is trying to fix an abysmally bad school system.”

    “Her plan calls for teachers at a local high school to work 25 minutes longer per day, each lunch with students once in a while, and help with tutoring. The teachers’ union has refused to accept these apparently onerous demands.”

    “The teachers at the high school make $70,000-$78,000, as compared to a median income in the town of $22,000. This exemplifies a nationwide trend in which public sector workers make far more than their private-sector counterparts (with better benefits)…”

    “The school superintendent has responded to the union’s stubbornness by firing every teacher and administrator at the school.”

    Unions… *sigh*

    Paying Kids to Get Better Grades

    Just last week, I mentioned a program where they pay girls to not get pregnant… Now this:

    Nightly News Promotes Paying Children for Public School Success

    “This program is a bad method consisting of dangling goodies in front of kids rather than treating them respectfully as partners in the learning, married to a bad objective, higher scores on bad standardized tests,” Kohn said.
