I realize that what I am sending is not directly on the subject of
education, but since the Federal Department of Justice has so much
influence on so many aspects of our lives, including education, I
thought people might find this of interest.

I have taken an e-mail that included several levels of forwarding,
snipped out (to protect the guilty) all e-mail addresses.  take a look
through.  Then I strongly recommend that you got to the link for the
Guardian website, read the whole article.  Then take a gander at the
film clip -

Ken Bernstein



The Guardian article (see link) contains a link to a videotape of Mr.
Ashcroft singing his composition.

 Subject:
          Das Lied von der John Ashcroft


read the whole thing---OY VEY.
