Portion of Remarks by President Bush at the Radio-Television Correspondents Association 57th Annual Dinner:
"Then there is my most famous statement: "Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning." Let us analyze that sentence for a moment. If you're a stickler, you probably think the singular verb "is" should have been the plural "are." But if you read it closely, you'll see I'm using the intransitive plural subjunctive tense. So the word "is" are correct. (Laughter and applause.)
And you know what? Life goes on. My wife and my daughters still love me. Our military still protects our shores. Americans still get up and go to work. People still go out and have fun, as we're doing tonight.
I don't think it's healthy to take yourself too seriously. But what I do take seriously is my responsibility as President to all the American people. It's the office I hold. And that is what I came tonight to tell you."

Get the is our children learning mug.the act of combining memorizing with an experience that makes the information stay in your head long term, and allows you to recall it...especially long after you've taken a test.
You can memorize your times tables, but when you get to Algebra, you better LEARNORIZE that ish, or you won't make it past cashier at McDonalds.

Get the Leart mug.A learning disability is a neurologically based processing problem, such as a disorder in auditory processing, visual processing, or non-verbal processing. Learning disabilities are diagnosed when there is a gap between potential and actual achievement, and therefor people with learning disabilities have average to above-average intelligence. Learning disabilities are lifelong conditions, but with appropriate specialized education students can achieve at the same level as their same-age peers.

Get the learning disability mug.when at a party and someone asks a know-it-all, "what do you do for a living". The know-it-all then proceeds to learn rape this person with information on a topic, such as quantum physics, while using jargon or scientific terminology when they know the other person doesn't want it or like it.
