Jeriann has the headlines again this morning with a mix of weather across our viewing area. It could be anything from freezing rain to rain in what continues to be a very weird Winter.
The News:
-Yesterday's School shooting is another reminder to me that the schools I will send my kids to are NOTHING like the schools I went to. It will be a shock to the system. How do you prepare your child for an environment where something like this can happen; and at the same time tell them this is a place where they are supposed to be safe?
-Michigan and Arizona Vote today. The narrative is that if Romney loses Michigan it's going to be a body blow...except, it's a proportional Primary...which means he is going to win SOME of the delegates. We spoke with Sen Grassley this morning. He says he thinks the nominating picture won't be made clear today. He thinks Super Tuesday might clear things up.
-I also asked Sen Grassley about re-election.
I'd heard from someone who visited his office that he wasn't going to run again. He said he'd tell us what he tells anyone who asks. He says he doesn't want to be one of those Senators that has to be wheeled on to the floor by a nurse to take a vote. He has three years to make sure he's healthy enough to run again. He says he won't do it unless he feels he can serve the full term in good health. By the way, the 78 year-old ran three miles before he got on the Satellite to do an interview with us this morning.
-So there's a lot of debate still over Sen Rick Santorum's comment that President Obama is a "snob" for wanting Americans to get "at least one year of higher education" at a college, community college, apprenticeship or vocational training.
He went on to quote a statistic that something like two thirds of kids who enter a four year college with some sort of Faith commitment...leave college without an identified faith.
Washington Post had this on its Fact Check article:
So you have to ask yourself, is Santorum misinformed or is he just presenting these "facts' as fear tactic...those Liberals are coming to indoctrinate you!
Shouldn't we ask more from our Politicians? Especially a guy running for President?
I ask again...is Faith something that can be undone by a Liberal arts education? If it is, how strong was that faith to begin with?
Isn't opening your horizons to new ideas and being exposed to a broader world what College is about? What are people so scared of?

Washington Post had this on its Fact Check article:
PBS earlier this month tracked down the study Santorum refers to, but it actually suggests that people who have not enrolled in college are even less religious. “64 percent of those currently enrolled in a traditional four-year institution have curbed their attendance habits,” said the study, published in the journal Social Forces. “Yet, 76 percent of those who never enrolled in college report a decline in religious service attendance.”

-Why is everyone so concerned about Angelina Jolee's Leg?
-I have a bad feeling about Iowa State's trip to Columbia this week. ISU is a good team getting better by the week. Missouri just lost two games in a row.
Hope you have a good Tuesday.
