Senator Chris Buttars (R - Ignoramus) from Utah has thought long and hard... well, okay, no, he probably pulled this one out of his ass, but all the same, he's suggesting that the solution to a budget crunch is to shorten high school by a year. Way to go, Chris: there really was nothing else you could think of chopping from the budget but a full year of education for our already woefully underprepared kids, huh? That's real special kind of stupid right there. Maybe you should go back to school, Chris...
