Back to Basics
Oh, yes. Oh, indeed. Well done, US Department of Education. How gracious of you to exempt schools and districts decimated by hurricanes from meeting the testing benchmarks for the year.

Neezu...oh, Neezu. How I miss your original colloquialisms. I think you should write your sayings down -- and it shall be called "Book of Neezu" instead of the "Book of Virtues." I would buy that book. I would even pay full price. I would maybe even make a donation to a charity of your choosing.
