Joke Of The Day: The Elephant And The Turtle An elephant was drinking out of a river one day, when he spotted a turtle asleep on a log. So, he ambled on over and kicked it clear across the river.

“What did you do that for?” Asked a passing giraffe.

“Because I recognized it as the same turtle that took a nip out of my trunk 53 years ago.”

“Wow, what a memory” commented the giraffe.

“Yes,” said the elephant, “turtle recall”.

Kirsten Gillibrand received over 20,000 thousand dollars from Palo Alto High School. A school not even in New York and completely across the country.

Kirsten Gillibrand Received Over $20,000 From A High School In California

Kirsten Gillibrand received over 20,000 thousand dollars from Palo Alto High School. Why is a California high school giving $20,400 to a Junior New York Senator? This really makes no sense. Why is a public school giving taxpayer money to ANY campaign? Is the high school name BS and meant to hide the real donor? Is this a money laundering scheme?

Palo Alto High School is in one of the richest neighborhoods in the U.S. It is a pipeline to the University of California system, Stanford, and Ivy League schools. What’s more even the teachers are extraordinarily well-connected. For instance, Esther Wojcicki teaches media arts at the school. She is mother to Susan Wojcicki (CEO of YouTube) and Anne Wojcicki (founder of 23&me and ex-wife of Google founder, Sergey Brin). So, this could be something sinister or just extraordinarily wealthy and well-connected people working regular jobs in the most liberal paradise on earth.

Even if Palo Alto High School is the name of the employer of the people who donated, $20,400 is a huge donation from a bunch of underpaid teachers. If they can afford that kind of donation, I guess their pay isn’t too low.
