Cafeteria funding
The Governor recently approved $2.1 million to build a new cafeteria at the Kilauea School.
The Democrat Kaua‘i legislators wanted $5.1 million for a “state of the art” facility.
You do the math — a savings of $3 million. The total improvement package for the school was $6.8 million.
“Students now eat in shifts in usable but cramped facility,” according to the April 30 issue of The Garden Island.
What an outrage!
Lunch shifts were common practice for us baby boomers. This drove us in large numbers to years of psychotherapy. Many of us never recovered.
Democrat Senator Gary Hooser recently addressed the issue on his radio program.
While Maui got a medical emergency helicopter; Kaua‘i got the cafeteria, noted our senator. If you suffer a heart attack, dash-up to Kilauea and chow-down with the kids.
Congratulations to Governor Linda Lingle for showing common sense in government spending.

It seems the loss of our young in Iraq means nothing to Sinclair Broadcasting, to the conservative Republican branch of our “freedom of speech” broadcasting system. To tell a family their child has died to fight for our freedom and then we’re not going to honor them or support them, or thank them publicly because it’s somehow “anti-administration” makes no sense. This is the height of self centered, self absorption in terms of Bush and his minions.
When in fact it’s all about the people who have been sent to a war that isn’t, for a reason that never existed, and then we silence the very thing we’re supposedly fighting for – the freedom of America that has been so important since inception – our freedom of speech, freedom to worship and believe anyway and anything and say so. Since January 2001 that has been diminished and this is the ultimate disrespect of America, by Americans.
It has become a frightening and painfully sad position. I have, up until now, been grateful and proud to have rights, fight for rights, believe in our rights. And now, how we appear in the world, and how we treat our own, has little to do with the America I was raised to believe in.
I implore all ABC affiliates to honor the dead and their families. This is not anti war – thought that’s my personal stance. This is pro soldier, which should be very very American.
