Gadgets don't help cheaters prosper -

Let's see...
1. "research" says don't worry about cheating.
2. The "brave" folks at GVSU report a decline in "dishonesty cases".
3. There is technology available to find cheaters.

Human error?

Do the Clintons own The NY Post? Simple "human error" that she gets ALL the votes and no angst filled screams of disenfranchisement?

OBAMA ROBBED IN NY - New York Post: "'Some initial tallies had zeros, but it was most likely due to human error. Those were unofficial numbers, and no confirmed results have been released yet.'

Does this mean the "culprit" is us and "we" should give them a bunch of our moolah?

I'm getting a painful feeling in my wallet..... am I just another greedy conservative paranoid?

And now that it's "dead" the taxpayers are the fault.

Muskegon Chronicle - MLive.com: "The CMU Promise is no more.
The tuition guarantee remains in force through summer for everyone currently attending Central Michigan University.
The Board of Trustees today killed the promise for anyone enrolling for fall and later.
The promise, which CMU enacted in 2005, ensured that incoming freshmen and transfer students would pay a flat tuition rate for up to five years and the same room and board rates for two years"

Can't anyone outside of the MSM and academia connect the gunshot dots?

Another Massacre At A "Gun Free Zone" College Campus KXNet.com North Dakota News: "At one time I was very against arming teachers or allowing qualified students to carry on campus. I’m not any more.

Interesting headline from New York Times

Fascists!

Maybe just "progressives?"

Thomas Sowell on Liberal Fascism on National Review Online: "This is the sort of book that challenges the fundamental assumptions of its time — and which, for that reason, is likely to be shunned rather than criticized."
