"Of the $1 billion in clean-energy stimulus money spent since the beginning of September, $850 million has gone to foreign wind companies… Indeed, the 11 U.S. wind farms that received stimulus money from the Treasury have imported 695 of the 982 wind turbines to be installed, creating 4,500 jobs overseas. That’s far more overseas work than the stimulus money has created in the United States."

Quietly, the President Finds That Golf Is No Slam Dunk - WSJ.com
“…As president, Mr. Obama has neglected the court. He has played only seven known games of basketball since taking office, compared with 25 rounds of golf, a sport he picked up about a decade ago when he was an Illinois state senator. That’s more golf than former President George W. Bush played in two terms, according to CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who tracks presidential trivia. (In 2003, Mr. Bush quit golf, saying he did so out of respect for the troops serving in Iraq. Since leaving office, he has returned to the sport, an aide says.)”

I have pretty strong memories from grade 6 when I tried to argue with my language arts teacher because I was absolutely convinced that it was pronounced “PRE-face”
my bad, sorry
(who can blame me, though … I had to suffer through my 2nd grade social studies teacher pronouncing the first T in Connecticut for a whole year)
I’m not sure what’s the deal in Texas, but the generally accepted pronunciation for “Connecticut” is “kəˈnɛtɨkət”
