Via Insty, there is an article detailing the arrest of a 45 year old woman for the murder of her 26 year old husband, with whom she had been in holy wedlock for a total of five days.  The irony comes in when the reader finds out that she’s employed by a quasi-legitimate organization that… Continue reading

I read an article via Insty that the Detroit Teachers Union would rather have every student fail than bring in the Teach for America program and actually provide those kids a chance to succeed in the world.  Just as in Chicago and Gary, the NEA would rather keep their stranglehold on the school systems and… Continue reading

Via Insty, I was reading an article by Ed Driscoll about, of all things, the Joy Behar Show (which I’ve never seen).  In his article he linked to this regarding a the dialogue between Behar and Eve Ensler talking about Sarah Palin and global warming: ENSLER: Well, I just think the idea that she doesn’t… Continue reading

Heard on the news this morning:  jobless claims rose “unexpectedly”.  The Feds are now blaming the weather in the Northeast for increased layoffs.  Firstly, how can ANYONE who is remotely looking, be surprised that jobless claims rose?  As far as I know, it’s been “unexpected” every time they’ve released new numbers.  After a certain number… Continue reading
