I was just talking to a rather high up GOP type here in Oklahoma. I was pointing out that there is a reason Oklahoma is considered a joke by most of the country and the GOP had a lot to do with this. The topic was education, and Oklahoma is right there at 49th in the nation when it comes to a quality education. I guess it could be worse, but not by much.

So the new explanation for all GOP failures? "We are not as bad as everyone wants us to be."

That's some nifty bit of writing. It is saying that while we may be doing a terrible job we are not doing as bad as other wish we were. So I guess they are doing just enough to get by and no more.

Nice work if you can get it.

My party can beat-up your party! So there!
