TALKS A GOOD TALK

Thursday, June 23, 2005

Advertisement: "Today, State Superintendent of Education Inez Tenenbaum will once again give her annual 'State of Education' speech. "What Mrs. Tenenbaum will deliver will be feel-good fluff. Unfortunately for South Carolina students and parents, that's no longer good enough. In last year's 'State of Education' speech, Mrs. Tenenbaum said, ...we are building a world-class public education system in South Carolina--a system through which all students will become educated..." We hope Mrs. Tenenbaum can explain how the 50% of the children who dropped out of high school are receiving a "world-class" education." NOTE: Of course Mrs. Tenenbaum is relying on the collective IQ of South Carolinians to interpret her failure as success...maybe she'll succeed.

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".

Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.

Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.

In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
