Pictures that Speak MORE than a Thousand Words


I'll Just KEEP Tryin' - Roy Ayers

Supremacy still lives! Did you notice the dude's broken graduated cylinder? Peep the following quote from this article:

"Africa’s best universities, the grand institutions that educated a revolutionary generation of nation builders and statesmen, doctors and engineers, writers and intellectuals, are collapsing. It is partly a self-inflicted crisis of mismanagement and neglect, but it is also the result of international development policies that for decades have favored basic education over higher learning even as a population explosion propels more young people than ever toward the already strained institutions."

While we bicker about immigration reform and nappy-headed-hos, these students are sleeping on floors, working multiple jobs, and getting up before the sun rises. For what? AN EDUCATION. When those same students land on OUR shores and take YOUR jobs, don't say that we didn't warn you. They WILL come. They won't have much, but they'll have DEGREES.

Or maybe we could prepare our children for the competition that they will face by investing more of our time, money, and cultural weight in education. Or maybe we could just bicker over what to do with those damn landscapers.

It Ain't Rainin' On Nobody's House But Mine - The Dramatics

This Dramatics song is THE soundtrack for that picture of Alberto. Poor dude is learning the G DUBBZ administration's meaning of the word affirmative action.

Mr. Cool - Rasputin's Stash

Believe it or not, Estonia is one of the most wired nations in the world. Believe it or not, this dude is an officer in the country's Computer Emergency Response Team. Did dude find the blogger dream job? A real job, with GULLYNESS factor and real money, all while living in his mother's basement? Baaaaalliiinnnn! Dude found the blogger wet dream. Nullus.

I've been looking for that Dramatics song for a while now! Never thought I'd find it under a picture Gonzalez. Thank you.

true true true m dot.

maybe i didn't say what i meant to say. instead of dealing with the "immigration issue" in a retroactive, defensive manner, we should place more emphasis on educating the american youth, to equip them with the skills necessary for the GLOBAL economy.

that goes for everybody in this country. black, red, brown, white, and purple. we've got no respect for the power of education

sadly, most will not be able to take advantage of those degrees in north america because they didn't "earn" them here or in europe.

mutoni....uhhhm, no. being in the medical field, i know of MANY residency spots that are beggin for american applicants. there are none. so where do they go? asia, africa, europe, etc, etc....i'm not saying that's a bad thing....it's just that we americans tend to take our opportunities for granted

when i was a teacher, nyc would go to the phillipines to hire teachers!!!
