14. Thank you! I was born in Bklyn!

[BrklynLiberal]

17. I live near Coney Island....What part were you born in? How long since you left?

[cspanlovr]

21. I was born in Bushwick, on Jefferson Ave. We moved to Queens

when I was 4. That was a long time ago. My mother was born and raised in Coney Island. My grandmother lived there and of course it was a second home to me. She lived 1/2 block from Surf Ave., not far (about 6 blocks) from Steeplechase. That dates me, I know. I loved it there. The beach, the rides, the boardwalk, the fireworks! Those were the days. I live in Atlanta now, but when we visit, we always go to Coney to ride the Cyclone! Last car, hands up!:hi:

[BrklynLiberal]

36. I live very close to the Cyclone.. at the very end of the peninsula, in Seagate..

All those things you remember are still there... :D

but she wants to zero in on a few of the worst examples. Thank you all for the links and the laughs!

[johnnie]

12. She should turn in a roll of toilet paper

That should say enough.

[BrklynLiberal]

13. What a great concept!!!

26. Well, if that doesn't get her an "A", nothing will. Too bad georgie gets an "F".

That's quite a list of "accomplishments". Thanks so much for your help.

[BlackVelvet04]

23. Maybe her next paper can be on

Brittany Spears' parenting skills.

24. I find this anecdote to be emblematic

The family that rented Bush a house in Montgomery, Alabama, during that period told me that Bush did extensive, inexplicable damage to their property, including smashing a chandelier, and that they unsuccessfully billed him twice for the damage--which amounted to approximately $900, a considerable sum in 1972. Two unconnected close friends and acquaintances of a well-known Montgomery socialite, now deceased, told me that the socialite in question told them that he and Bush had been partying that evening at the Montgomery Country Club, combining drinking with use of illicit drugs, and that Bush, complaining about the brightness, had climbed on a table and smashed the chandelier when the duo stopped at his home briefly so Bush could change clothes before they headed out again.

-- Texas government corruption: State $$ for campaign funders & business cronies

-- Cocaine: felony drug use, vile hypocrisy, and a hushed up arrest?

30. My advice

Put her name, class and paper title here and leave the rest blank.

[bdamomma]

31. hmm..make sure she is not sent to the Principal's office

you know how no one can say anything against the emperor/king.

[lpbk2713]

32. Be recording the OxyRush Limbaugh RW Radio Hatemonger Show for the next few days.

So that you can play it back for your lawyer when he announces her name and address loud and clear several times on the air. He likes to generate hate mail from his shittoheads that way. He thinks it keeps himself in the clear when they do his spineless dirty work for him. There is bound to be a shittohead or two at that school who will forward it to him and start the ball rolling. I hope you sue his pimple covered ass off for all it's worth.

33. That's A Blank Sheet Of Paper

There's nothing to discuss.

34. I would think if she was writing about george bush's "integrity," she'd

only need one of those mini post-it notes on which to record it all.

Or - you know how you get all that little round confetti when you use a hole-punch on a piece of paper? One of those little punch-outs would do.

But on a more serious note, she could start with the most current of current events - with the boy who cried wolf on Iran.

35. the book "Big Bush Lies" has some very well-documented highlights

(in a manner of speaking) -- I feel justified in putting in a plug for it, because a bunch of contributors did a lot of research putting it together ... not just me!
