The federal Department of Education has released a script for pre-K through 6th grade teachers to use in conjunction with Barack Obama’s “historic” nationwide speech to elementary school students on September 8.
The script instructs teachers to use the following questions with the students after the speech:
What do you think the President...
The Liberty Torch “is a symbol of Central America’s independence from Spain in 1821, and is normally passed across the countries of Central America this time of year. The passing of the torch this year, however, will skip...
John Kerry has a column at Huffington Post, beating the “global warming is a threat to national security” dead horse.
Been there, done that.
Kerry can’t make the economic or environmental case for
cap-and-tax regulations, so he resorts to fear-mongering based on
speculative worst-case scenarios:
Climate change injects a major new source of chaos,...
This is the third in a series of posts analyzing randomly selected provisions in HR3200, the House Democratic health care restructuring bill. The hope is that through random selection of pages from the House Bill, using the dartboard method, some light will be shed on the otherwise dense House Bill.
The page...
The media and left-wing blogosphere are in a tizzy because Virginia Republican candidate for Governor Robert F. McDonnell took negative positions on gay-rights and other topics in a university thesis 20 years ago. McDonnell now disavows those views, saying his views have changed over time, and the public should consider his...
Dan at Gay Patriot has an interesting post on how Ted Kennedy saved a girl from the Soviet medical system, which could not treat her disease. Fair enough, Teddy saved a girl (I’m resisting the urge to mention …. well you know).
I am familiar with the Soviet medical system, at le...
This is the second in a series of posts analyzing randomly selected provisions in HR3200, the House Democratic health care restructuring bill. In the prior post, I examined the almost incomprehensible section 1721 concerning payments to primary care practitioners.
The page selected for this post, using the dartboard method, is page 692...
No one has been able to get a full grasp on the scope of the health care system restructuring proposed by the Democrats. I have written extensively on some of the more interesting tax provisions, but I only have scratched...
Mathew Yglesias is one of the leading liberal bloggers pushing
ObamaCare KennedyCare. Since every Senate vote counts,
Yglesias and other KennedyCare promoters need to justify the
Massachusetts legislature’s pending flip-flop on how to select a
successor to Ted Kennedy, to allow the Democratic Governor to
appoint a temporary (Democratic) replacement.
Under current...
Almost forgot that Bill Ayers glorified the killer of Robert Kennedy, but thanks to a commenter at Tim Blair’s blog, it’s time to remember:
“Is now the time to remind everyone,” emails KP, “th...
Barack Obama is on vacation. That’s fine. It’s a high-pressure job, and a little relaxation is a good thing. But White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton is not doing such a great job substituting for Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.
In defending Obama’s plans for a second vacation, Burton said that Obama...
CNN and MSNBC have been covering the Ted Kennedy death virtually
non-stop. But it’s not working out so well, per
L.A. Times:
Fox News maintained its top ranking among the cable news channels Wednesday as its competitors turned most of their coverage over to the death of Sen. Edward Kennedy. The event...
Steve Benen at Washington Monthly’s Political Animal blog
complains that conservatives are working off some
pre-determined script as to Ted Kennedy’s death:
“It looks like word went out yesterday about what leading conservative voices should say about Ted Kennedy’s death: complain about the memorial service that hasn’t happened yet.”
Benen then cites several...
Four years ago, someone published photos of a guy dancing on Ronald Reagan’s grave. The photos were posted also at the “Princess Sp...
As of August 24, 2009, the two Democratic draft health care restructuring bills were horrible monstrosities which contained a myriad of pernicious tax and other provisions which put at risk the well-being of hundreds of millions of Americans while doing precious little to help the 10-15 million chronically uninsured. For the...
