Victor Davis Hanson on Wrong on Wright on National Review Online

The story the MSM won't report.

Victor Davis Hanson on Wrong on Wright on National Review Online:

"Over the past four days, I asked seven or eight random (Asian, Mexican-American, and working-class white) Americans in southern California what they thought of Obama’s candidacy — and framed the question with, “Don’t you think that was a good speech?” The answers, without exception, were essentially: “Forget the speech. I would never vote for Obama after listening to Wright.” In some cases, the reaction was not mild disappointment, but unprintable outrage."

Lib whine-fest over Rush's "Operation Chaos"

Opinion - StatesmanJournal.com: "Writer: 'Limbaugh undermines American values'
March 24, 2008
I am appalled by Rush Limbaugh's shameless appeal to his listeners to intentionally throw the democratic process in the primaries.
Limbaugh believes that Hillary Clinton would lose to John McCain, while Obama could beat McCain. In order to keep Obama out of the election in November, he wants to set up a false win for Clinton in the primaries.
He encouraged his Republican listeners to register as Democrats then vote for Clinton in the primaries in order to undermine Obama. While I do not necessarily support Obama, I do support fair-play and honesty.
It is despicable to cast votes that are outright lies in order to further a political agenda."

Deepening Democratic Dilemma

Deepening Democratic Dilemma: "Over the last week, I have been repeatedly asked by non-political people about Obama's connection with Wright's tirade. In the process, Obama's political persona has been altered -- transformed, as described by one friendly Chicago politician, from Harvard Law Review to South Side activist."

Obama racial issues may extend to Pa. - Carrie Budoff Brown - Politico.com: "Stephanie Gill, a bartender in a white working-class neighborhood, noticed the shift immediately.

A week ago, her customers at Rauchut’s Tavern in Tacony didn’t have much to say about Barack Obama. But when she returned to work Wednesday, a day after the Illinois senator attempted to quell the furor over his pastor’s racially incendiary remarks, the reaction inside the corner bar was raw and unapologetic.
“People are not happy with Obama,” Gill said. “It’s the race stuff.”

If It's Intentional, Is It Malpractice?

If It's Intentional, Is It Malpractice?: "Over the last five years, we have witnessed something remarkable: our principal news media outlets have fabricated an alternative reality around the Iraq war by simply misreporting the facts. They have done this in order to advance their own political agenda. It is really quite extraordinary; someone should write a book about it."

Reason Magazine - Hit & Run > Why Our Children Isn't Learning

Reason Magazine - Hit & Run > Why Our Children Isn't Learning: "To soothe the bruised egos of educators and children in lackluster schools, Massachusetts officials are now pushing for kinder, gentler euphemisms for failure.
Instead of calling these schools 'underperforming,' the Board of Education is considering labeling them as 'Commonwealth priority,' to avoid poisoning teacher and student morale."

Granholm's budget based on bogus studies!

GOP against some of Granholm's budget
"Granholm wants to borrow money to create up to 100 smaller, more intimate high schools that would have no more than 400 students each. A quarter of Michigan's high schools have failed to meet goals mandated by the federal No Child Left Behind Act for at least two years, and Granholm said studies show smaller schools have better results."

Darfur peacekeeping force at risk of failing, already - International Herald Tribune

This is what the UN brings to the needy today......NOTHING!

Darfur peacekeeping force at risk of failing, already
"As Darfur smolders in the aftermath of a new government offensive, a long-sought peacekeeping force, expected to be the world's largest, is in danger of failing even before it begins its mission because of bureaucratic delays, stonewalling by the Sudanese government and reluctance from troop-contributing countries to send peacekeeping forces into an active conflict."

I've had nightmares about this.....
