businessweek.com — Across the country, some teachers complain that President George W. Bush's makeover of public education promotes "teaching to the test." The President's younger brother Neil takes a different tack: He's selling to the test.

Gosh darn it. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER say "off of". You mean "makes huge profit FROM education reform".And you wonder why people say Digg cannot compete with conventional media.

God Damn it! NEVER EVER use a TRIPLE negative or fruity language when cursing the Lord. It makes you look like a dumbass from the conventional media which we are here to over throw not compete with!

"No Bush Left Behind"At least they didn't leave one of those stupid designs or a "landing strip." God I hate those. Oh wait...nevermind.

The title is misleading but Neil, when he's not whoring with Thai hookers, made a ton of cash off his brother being President.Why is it when this administration appears that they are doing something good for the whole of society, it is a select few who gain the most?

This technology is a direct rip-off of eInstruction's CPS system (owned by Goldman Sachs and Chicago Growth). Little Bush is gonna get sued for infringing on their proprietary rights...

Neil was making ill-gotten money long before GWB took office. Remember Silverado and the Savings&Loan scandal when Daddy Bush was President?

Remember Neil Bush was in with Howard Keating in making 1 trillion dollars of taxpayer money disappear in the Savings & Loan scandal back in the 1980's. The Saving & Loan ripoff was probably what inspired Jack Abramoff, Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed and Tom DeLay to hatch the moral majoriity ripoff scheme that stole money from millions of Christians to fund their on enrichment.Lots of evil con-artists are out there

Hardly. Compare the two technologies and you'll find they aren't even in the same ballpark.

1 Trillion? Get real.Neil Bush just happend to be a director of one particular S&L (Silverado) in the wrong place at the wrong time. S&Ls were failing all over the country. Bush didn't have much, if anything, to do with it...certainly not at a national level.The inflated estimated cost of Silverado was only around 1 billion. Not 1 trillion. If that's any indication of how bad people are with math, it's no wonder many S&Ls failed.
