This post is going to be at its core petty, yet it also speaks to how much authority someone has to speak on any given subject. I recently did a piece on Josh Behling, a candidate for the 15B House seat currently held by VFW Legislator of the Year, Larry Haws. As I was driving in to work this morning I heard Behling on KNSI 1450 with Andy Barnett (Incidentally, Josh, your chances of "riding in to work" with Gottwalt OR Clark are slim to none!). They talked platitudes about the ever oppressive tax system (please note the sarcasm) and I got to thinking about whether Josh got around to fixing some of the glaring errors on his new shiny website.

Well? It seems he figured out that abortion is not spelled aboortion (That is probably key to winning the ever popular single issue aboortion voters), so hooray for Josh! However, he didn't take my advice and fix the glaring misuse of the word 'effect' nor did he fix the Bushesque line about how "core academics IS essential to educating our children."



Petty or not, how can someone possibly be taken seriously on the issue of education when the basics of grammar escape them? Seriously, Gary, if you are out there, tell Josh he needs to fix his website!

    Sorry, but "understanding," not "academics," is the subject of the first line you criticize.

    Both of you are 50/50.
