From McSweeney's daily reason to ditch Bush:

In February, 2004, President Bush proposed important new expenditures for education: $100 million for reading programs to help middle and high schoolers who still struggle to sound out basic words; $40 million to assist professionals in math and science make the transition to teaching; and $52 million to bring Advanced Placement classes to more high schools. Yet all of these programs combined would be eclipsed by the $270 million the president wants to devote to a school program promoting sexual abstinence. This despite there being little evidence that such programs reduce teen sex or pregnancies.

I think this speaks for itself. No need to worry about posterity, George. We'll just rely on foreign export and outsourcing.
