I can’t help but laugh every time I hear some Republican say “passing this bill [health care reform] will cost the Democrats in November”. I keep wondering to myself if Coach K is calling up John Calipari and saying “if we meet in final four and you run a zone defense, it will cost you […]
You are about to get left behind. Starting on March 13th YouTube won’t care about you anymore: Over six months ago, Google announced it would start phasing out support for Internet Explorer 6 on Orkut and YouTube, and started pushing its users to modern browsers. The search giant has now given a specific kill date […]
Just saw this tweet from Chuck Todd: Goss: “What we’re now seeing is that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has not made one iota of improvement.” So Goss is saying that his successors haven’t fixed the mess he left behind. That also goes along with what I have been saying – the […]
Now we are seeing progress: President Barack Obama is leaving the door to open to possible prosecution of Bush administration officials who devised harsh terrorism-era interrogation tactics. He also said Tuesday that he worries about the impact of high-intensity hearings on how detainees were treated under former President George W. Bush. But Obama did say, […]
It’s time to tear apart some of these Republican myths, and in just one paragraph of Bobby Jindal’s speech we saw many: While some of the projects in the bill make sense, their legislation is larded with wasteful spending.

Bush was praising No Child Left Behind this week, so it’s time to point out one little accomplishment of that – sex for degrees: The student, from San Diego, California, USA, insisted she was not demeaning herself and had been persuaded to offer herself to the highest bidder after her sister Avia, 23, successfully raised […]
Yes I am lucky. I live about 1.5 miles from the school where Bush signed No Child Left Behind into law. So how is this area’s children doing? Poverty levels are down in Hamilton and Middletown, but figures across the rest of Butler County are not as promising, according to data released Wednesday. The U.S. […]
We have had a Democratic Governor for all of 9 days now and already he has done more progress than Taft ever did: Gov. Ted Strickland signed his second executive order today, creating an energy adviser to coordinate the state’s efforts to create jobs through fuel-saving initiatives. “One of the core principles of my Turnaround […]
Connecticut has become the first state to challenge the No Child Left Behind act in a court of law. The lawsuit claims that the act requires expensive standardized tests without supplying funding for them. This act, one of Bush’s so called “milestones”, is a total joke. It is worded in such a way that any […]
A crime has been going on inside the internet. It is one that I myself am guilty of, along with the community of bloggers out there focusing on such stories as the Valerie Plame scandal and the Supreme Court nominee. It is now my duty, not only as a blogger, but also as a citizen […]
