The teacher’s union is one of the biggest reasons US education sucks. They’ve made it impossible to give a teacher a raise for being good at their job. And it’s even more impossible to get rid of the bad ones. In New York City over 700 teachers receive full pay ($70,000/year) for not teaching. They’re […]

Among the many reasons I remain skeptical about Global Warming – excuse me, Climate Change – are the veracity and agendas of those promoting it. Government, non-government and quasi-government organizations (like the UN) are spreading fear at every opportunity while jumping on the chance to grow their power and income.

The protests in Iran have been going on for a week a half. They are not a flash in the pan, and despite being murdered and beaten the Iranian people are still protesting and refusing to accept the results of the faked election.

While right-leaning opinions have always been available, the mass media has been predominately lefty for the past half century. People on the right think it’s more lefty than it is, but that’s understandable – where you stand on the political wheel determines your perception of the other sides’ position.

Several people sent me this article by Michael Moore. Once again he proves that he’s not just a genus, he’s a Super Genius, on a par with Wile E. Coyote. He starts out expressing nearly orgasmic joy at the failure of GM. He pretends he’s not really all that happy, but we can practically hear […]
