D.C. to begin using more-expensive Trojan condoms in HIV prevention program
"High school students and college-age adults have been complaining to District officials that the free condoms the city has been offering are not of good enough quality and are too small and that getting them from school nurses is 'just like asking grandma or auntie.'"

Amazing!
Michigan Teacher Salary
"Michigan is fourth on our comfort scale because there are great lakes and good teacher salaries.
New teachers make an average starting salary of $35,557 and an average overall salary of $54,739.
If you enjoy natural beauty, snowy winters, and desire an affordable lifestyle, this northern state is a great place to become a teacher.
Teachers that have a Master's Degree live even better in Michigan - but you'll be comfortable with a standard teaching certificate if you don't mind a few less canoe and hunting trips or a cabin in the UP!"
No mention of hours worked or benefits and still $54,739 average pay.
But the unions tell us WE need to pay more.
Will we cut our income so the teacher's union members can have more of our money to spend?

"The Maryland officers reported there were approximately 500 protesters on and near the front lawn of Baer’s house.
Montgomery County was not given a “heads-up” concerning the planned protest.
Although a protest permit is technically required in Montgomery County, in practice no citation is issued if the protestors disperse when requested to do so by the owner of the private property they occupy"

Sales tax may save schools from cuts
Sales tax may save schools from cuts-Lansing State Journal
"A rise in sales tax revenue means that Michigan school districts probably will escape budget cuts for the 2010-11 school year, state economists said Friday."
Here it comes!!!!!!!
The triple autopilot increases in teacher pay will only increase if we all pay more.
The teachers continue their early retirement, platinum benefits and $100/hr total compensation.
Yeah, we need to pay more.....

The fruits of weakness
Charles Krauthammer - The fruits of weakness
"This is not just an America in decline.
This is an America in retreat -- accepting, ratifying and declaring its decline, and inviting rising powers to fill the vacuum."
Every day, in almost every way I see the signs of Germany in the 30s....amazingly without the nationalism.
The "we hate America" meme seems to resonate with a significant portion of "american" votrons in the same manner as "Germany hates the world" invigorated millions of Germans in the 1930s.
Their final solution may well be those the Obama regime "outs" as the country's "new Jews".
Once they have public anger focused on the requisite group, the purges will begin.
There is little question that the trial balloons have been tested with their willing enablers in the liberal MSM.
And the Wiemar-GOP is fighting the conservatives and the Tea Party members as much as they are fighting Obam-ism.
I will fight on but I worry.
When you are glad you have no children and are old......well, that's the sign of a government that promises a failed future that we have seen so many times in the past.
November 2, 2010 may well be the most important date for our country since 12-25-1776.
