Parents outraged at teachers unions after seeing documentary "Waiting for 'Superman' "
"It's class warfare!
Fed-up parents and teachers who saw the explosive education documentary 'Waiting for 'Superman' ' yesterday were left either seething or in tears -- and calling for revolutionary change after the film's Big Apple debut.
'The passing along of children through the system is just disgusting,' said Barbara Levinson, 63, who was crying by the film's end. 'Every child should be treated as an individual.'
Viewers were also rocked by the work's portrayal of the teachers unions' protection of subpar educators.
'The laws as they stand can protect ineffective teachers who are bad -- I'm disappointed in what the union's become,' said Patricia Jordan, who won state teacher of the year in 1993.
'Effective and wonderful teachers are stifled by the ones who are problematic and hard to get rid of,' she fumed."

"For those worried about a future cyber attack that takes control of critical computerized infrastructure – in a nuclear power plant, for instance – Stuxnet is a big, loud warning shot across the bow, especially for the utility industry and government overseers of the US power grid.
Of course, VC readers heard that warning shot two months early.
And the target of DEADF007?
Uninformed speculation claims that it’s Iran’s Bushehr nuclear facility — and that the facility is already toast.
If so, we’re likely to find out pretty soon."

"How bad is the nation's debt problem?
While the official number -- $13.4 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office -- is frightening enough, some analysts say the actual figure is much, much higher.
Like a shopaholic who hides their credit card bills, the government pretends certain obligations and expenditures don't exist.
Uncle Sam really owes closer to $60 trillion, or more, and the country is close to bankrupcy."
