Former first lady Barbara Bush donated an undisclosed amount of money to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund with specific instructions that the money be spent with an educational software company owned by her son Neil.

Since then, the Ignite Learning program has been given to eight area schools that took in substantial numbers of Hurricane Katrina evacuees.

"Mrs. Bush wanted to do something specifically for education and specifically for the thousands of students flooding into the Houston schools," said Jean Becker, former President Bush's chief of staff. "She knew that HISD was using this software program, and she's very excited about this program, so she wanted to make it possible for them to expand the use of this program."

Food. Water. Electricity. Baby formula?

Not with Barbara Bush's money.

Let everyone else donate money for those things.

Hm. Did you hear about the SAT college board screwing all of those high school seniors out of their college entrance rankings? Something tells me that BushCo may be planning to nationalize college entrance exams.

Who'll get the college prep software contract if this happens before 2009?

Gee, I wonder.

So you think you know Delilah?
