Charlotte Allen of The Manhattan Institutute, writing for The Weekly Standard, provides a sobering portrait of what she calls The New Dating Game. Anakin could have written this article.

Like Nails on a Chalkboard

February 8th, 2010

One of my HUGE pet peeves in education is when teachers do not use proper grammar and punctuation when they write – ESPECIALLY when they are Language Arts Teachers!

Here is a REAL example from this semester that another mom shared with me … GRRRRRR:

Ms. Mom,

We have been working on a compare/contrast paper in class.  Son has write not a sentence for his paper.  I tried to speak to him about the paper and he would not respond to me.  The final copy of the paper is due Monday.

Thank you,

Teacher

Economic Recovery?

February 6th, 2010

Why is it that Karl Denninger is providing better insight into the economy, than our newsies or political classes?

How do I know Denninger is telling the truth? What he is saying, is lining up with reality, whereas our political classes and newsies are singing a tune that is utterly disconnected with reality.

If we are in economic recovery, then why are state tax receipts not showing this? Why are revenue projections so gloomy? Why are there so many empty lots in housing developments? Why are jobs not improving? Why are Greece, Portugal, and Spain on the verge of sovereign default? Why is our government spending money at triple the deficit that Bush ever ran? Why are the Chinese not buying our debt? Why are we monetizing it?

This is “economic recovery”? By what definition?

And if the economic outlook is so good, then what’s with all this damn secrecy? (Hat Tip, once again, to Denninger.)

Can anyone give me a link/reference to where I can find the stats often written about that more women file for divorce than men?

Penn State Coverup

February 5th, 2010

Isn’t it hilarious that liberals believe in regulating everything, except for scientists who get tax money to promote leftist agendas?

Apparently, Penn State is taking a three monkey approach to the investigation of Michael Mann, whose “hockey stick” graph has resulted in a mother lode of federal funding for the folks in Harrisburg.

MSM is even jumping on the story.

It’s long past time to call this global warming schlock for what it is: a massive effort to impose fascism on the world, all in the name of “saving the planet”.

If Obama wants to strike a blow for the integrity of science, he’d start prosecuting these bastards for fraud.

That is, after he pulled the United States out of the United Nations, and ordered the Navy SEALs to demolish the building.
