Wah-hoo!

Well, this is good news....

The federal government should be making immigration policy, and that's what I'm going to do as president again
-Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton

"again." Again? Again!!!!!

Pulling out my trusty copy of the Constitution of the United States, I find that the 22nd Amendment says in part:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Granted, Hillary was never actually elected. However, since Hillary admits that she has acted as President--groan--for eight years worth of term(s) to which some other person was elected President, the worst that can happen is that Hillary serves only one term as an actual elected President of the United States. That would severely limit the havoc she could create.

Just think, she would be a lame duck after just two years!

Wah-hoo! The worst case scenario just got a whole lot better.

Delaware's MOE Team Meets President Bush

Delaware's FIRST team met with President Bush today at the White House!




The Miracle Workerz, or MOE, which stands for Miracles of Engineering, is the Delaware-based team sponsored by DuPont. This year's team includes students from fourteen Delaware schools, two Pennsylvania schools and from homeschools, too.


Dean Kamen of Segway fame founded FIRST, "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology", as a way to mentor young people in science and technology and to reward them in much the way our young athletes are. With the assistance of their mentors, teenagers learn how to engineer and build a robot to compete against other robots in specially designed games each year. Some students have won scholarships to top universities due to their experiences with FIRST.


Always competing in their flourescent green tee shirts, the MOE team has had many successes since it was established in 2000. This year MOE won the FIRST Robotics Chairman's Award, the highest honor in FIRST Robotics. And they got to meet the President of the United States. Not too shabby.


Go MOE!
