They have been discussing this on Fox this morning.

Apparently Bill Gates is not happy about lowering the standards....he was quoted as saying he has to go overseas now, as it is, to get qualified employees, because he can't find them in WA....

Hmmmmm.....isn't Gates a liberal?

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

He's relatively liberal, I would say. He's against the flat tax. But he's very fiscally intelligent - he knows what it's going to take to compete in this and the future economy, and that's not dumbed down HS students.
