Requiem for the GOP -- NY-23
I've been following the NY-23 race in advance of a sea-change in American Politics, whichever way it goes. I see several possible trends. 1. The GOP is rent assunder by the right-wing, refusing to compromise on the most basic of principles; 2. The empowerment of the GOP with anti-"Obamatchiks", all... Sign in to see full entry.
Scozzafava (R) Quits in NY-23. So Goes the GOP - Too Far Back
Here is the FIRST READ, comment reported by NBC's Chuck Todd. Notice that there is no mention of the potential trouble this forecasts for the GOP. As first reported by the Watertown Daily Times, the Republican nominee in the New York 23rd Congressional special election, Dede Scozzafava, announced... Sign in to see full entry.

New York 23 -- Corbin Draws a Line in the Sand
I noticed in the papers today that the GOP candidate has dropped out of sight, according to polls, in the New York Special Election to be held in a few days. It apears that the Democrat is now neck-and-neck with the Conservative Party Candidate. This, as Corbin Dallas correctly pointed out to me... Sign in to see full entry.

Parental Responsibility, Civic Duty
Today I am a member of the "pajamas media" having refused an assignment to cover the PE classes at the local inner-city middle school. I would gladly have gone, and have done this job before, but for the inconvenience of flu symptoms. I'm under the blankies as we speak, with the media glowing in... Sign in to see full entry.

HOPE LEADS TO HEALING
Minorities feel a repression that whites do not. Of course we don't because we belong to the majority culture. But minorities do. At school they see that mostly their neighborhood schools are old, run down, poorly staffed and lacking in many ways. On the job it isn't hard to notice that they are... Sign in to see full entry.

OBAMA GOING WOBBLY OVER AFGHANISTAN?
Let's review for a moment. Bin Ladin moved out of the Sudan, into Afghanistan and assisted with jihad against the Russkies. After that the Taliban took over and Bin Laden donated hundreds of millions for their protection. He then set about his effort to turn the world upside down. What was he really...

School Days
Today I was contacted by a high school friend. We chatted, and it occurred to me that someone should write about the old school days. Today's youth force so many compromises that teachers' objectives tend to get watered down. I used to call that grade inflation. I first noticed it when I went back... Sign in to see full entry.
