This Makes Me Feel Better About Our Public Schools

Faithful reader RB lets us know that other than serving as our ally in the War on Terror, Pakistan's government is busy with other tasks...

Pakistani teachers have been told to rip out a page from 11th-grade English textbooks after authorities determined that a poem there is a cryptic tribute to President Bush. The first letter of each line spells out his name, e.g., "Going forward and knowing he's right / Even when doubted for why he would fight." AP reports that Pakistan plans an official inquiry into how the offending ode got into the curriculum.

And you thought our government wasted money.
