Bush's family profits from 'No Child Left Behind' act
A company headed by President Bush's brother and partly owned by his parents is benefiting from Republican connections and federal dollars targeted for economically disadvantaged students under the No Child Left Behind Act.With investments from his parents, George H.W. and Barbara Bush, and other backers, Neil Bush's company, Ignite! Learning, has placed its products in 40 U.S. school districts and now plans to market internationally.
At least 13 U.S. school districts have used federal funds available through the president's signature education reform, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, to buy Ignite's portable learning centers at $3,800 apiece.

*sigh* Why am I not surprised? Nice idea for a blog, but you really need to pump it up to Putz of the Hour. Only doing ONE per day means you miss out on SO many good potential Putzes. It's a shame to leave any out.
