Steve's barking at the measuring of the US HS compare with Europe education

I've been hearing all my life how bad the United States high school systems can't hold a candle to European high school system. How do they know? It must be some sort of standardized test. Now when I was a young lad the only tests that were the Iowa test and the Sat's. As far as I know they were not given to students over seas. Maybe that has changed or there is another mysterious source of measurement. The other mysterious  measurement is the comparison against the whole population of what would be in high school of the rest of the planet or just those in the equivalent of high school. If it's not every one then the comparison is garbage. That's right our comparisons are total garbage. It's like comparing NYC special high schools that are competitive and one has to take a test against all the other schools in the city and finding that they don't match up.
The reason I'm ranting about this is because I find comparing of our school system against school system that  sends students to trade schools ludicrous  unless of cause the comparison includes those students.

We want to have more of our children going to college to study math, science and engineering.
This is fine if our universities can't fill the seats now with students who desire to take these disciplines  and those who get their degrees in those disciples have no problem getting jobs in them.
This is no laughing matter.

Steve's barking at politicians who believe that government should be the Jerrry Seinfeld Show

As I remember, not to long Jerry Seinfeld had a comedy show about nothing.
As I hear the new populist politicians, they want the US government to do nothing, thereby rendering the United  States one big joke. Why not, after all the Jerry Seinfeld show was a huge hit.
Now let me try to understand these politicians, if we did nothing unemployment would magically disappear.
The sick will heal themselves, corruption will  be a thing of the past and  of cause pigs will fly.
We should believe these politicians are fiscal conservatives, they're willing to spend millions on a job that I believe pays 180,000. That's the reason that we all should trust fiscal conservatives with our money.

Steve's barking at what happen to the loony left?

I always know that if I had low blood pressure I could find some book by some foolish  left wing person that was so outrageous that my blood pressure would right itself.
I was in Barns and Noble today I couldn't find any books by left wing ideologist all I could see was books written by traitorous wrong wing buffoons.
Of cause one can say if  wanted wacko left I can watch MSNBC, or listen to Air America ( I don't believe that they broadcast in NYC, that must be because it used to the name of the CI A's old air force, or so that movie crazy Mel and wild Robert claimed.).
I just can't watch those moronic television stations. Moronic? Yes Moronic. CNN, MSNBC and the most moronic television station Fox News.
Let me try to explain, I'm a news junky, the only thing on the US news networks is opinionated anchor people telling me what they believe the stories are about. The only real news on these stations are on the scroll on the bottom of the screen. They may have 10 to 1 stories on the scroll as if that's all what's happening in the world on any given day.
The other day Ecuador had an coup attempt of cause BBC news and Euro news had live, you wold have never known this from our so called news television. They continued to broadcast their commentaries.
