Mission Creep

Since the day it was birthed in 1979, the Department of Education has funneled uncounted wealth into the hands of the type of people who believe that the No Child Left Behind Act will prod the schoolchildren to learn gooder. Yet, no bureaucracy has ever allowed complete and utter failure to deter it in its mission – whatever that mission may be.

In that vein, President Obama, invoking the powers granted to him under the Living Breathing Constitution that he keeps a copy of in his head, has suggested that the little ones stay in school even longer.

The federal politicians: they can even ruin a good summer.
