The North Carolina education lottery is as useless to saving our schools as:

? a life boat in the Sahara
? the string quartet on the Titanic
? a tennis racket in baseball
? a pretty face in radio
? a Dukakis campaign poster
? the definite article to Tonto
? home improvement shows to nomads
? a fork to soup
? nipples on men
? training wheels on skis


As useless as Jon Sanders in a pickup basketball game…
