NY Times, Washington Post Hide Phony ‘Coffee Party’ Astroturf Roots — at the NY Times!

NY Times, Washington Post Hide Phony ‘Coffee Party’ Astroturf Roots — at the NY Times! - Big Journalism: "Meanwhile, her claim that the Coffee Party is “purely grassroots” and “independent of any party” is laughably rebutted by the fact that the registrant for the website was listed as “Real Virginians For Webb, 14461 Sedona Drive, Gainesville, Virginia 20155” until the information suddenly went private behind a proxy.

That’s “Webb” as in Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, one of at least two elected Democrats for whom Park has actively campaigned (as evidenced by this campaign video, “Real Virginians for Webb”:"

"First-term Rep. Eric Massa announced Wednesday that he will not seek reelection, saying his doctors have told him that he can’t continue to “run at 100 miles an hour.”
But several House aides told POLITICO that the House ethics committee has been informed of allegations that the New York Democrat, who is married with two children, made unwanted advances toward a junior male staffer."

Britain Grapples With Debt of Greek Proportions - NYTimes.com

Britain Grapples With Debt of Greek Proportions - NYTimes.com
"As Greece’s debt troubles batter the euro, Britain has done its utmost to stay above the fray.

The pound fell to $1.4954 on Tuesday, its lowest level against the dollar in months.

Until now, that is.
Suddenly, investors are asking if Britain may soon face its own sovereign debt crisis if the government fails to slash its growing budget deficits quickly enough to escape the contagious fears of financial markets."

This is a worldwide disaster and the worst is yet to come.

Prepare!

President Obama Wants Your Kid!


For a Better Day
President Obama Wants Your Kid!
Looking for an internship?

According to the Altas Shrugs website, students in an Ohio high school were given these applications in class for internships with President Obama's Organizing for America program, a political activism organization.

But why is the President using his campaign icon and platform to actively recruit children to push his agenda?

Why are they being trained to use the Democratic Party voter record system?

Why are they focusing on implementing government run healthcare?"


Sadly, I think we all know why.
Our schools have been taken over by socialist/progressive activists who have seen their greatest success with the AlGore global warming brainwash movie.
They got away with it then.
They think they have free reign over our children's political indoctrination.
And they will continue have that control until we start going to school board meetings all over our country.

Makes sense to me

State halts practice of giving diplomas to special-education graduates

State halts practice of giving diplomas to special-education graduates-MLive.com
"State law is forcing local high schools to stop their practice of awarding diplomas to all graduating seniors, regardless of their abilities.
That means students with significant cognitive impairments at Muskegon High School will instead receive 'certificates of completion' when they attend commencement along with their classmates.
Muskegon and Muskegon Heights high schools are among very few statewide that have handed out high school diplomas to low-functioning special education students who complete an 'adaptive curriculum.'"

Those Muskegon and Heights grads must be SO proud of their diplomas...

How pathetic!

When will we citizens take back control of our schools from the big education, thug unions?

Frequently asked questions about Michigan's transportation funding

Frequently asked questions about Michigan's transportation funding

Interesting.
We spend $3 billion/yr on our roads and this article focuses on the need for MORE money from taxpayers but never questions just how our state spends the $3 billion.

Anyone wanna bet that a full review of how Jenny's bureaucrats spend our tax dollars might just be embarrassing to those who do the spending?

"The so-called 'Great Recession' has left Americans depending on the government dole like never before.

Without record levels of welfare, unemployment and other government benefits as well as tax cuts last year, the income of U.S. households would have plunged by an astonishing $723 billionmore than four times the record $167 billion drop reported last month by the Commerce Department.

Moreover, for the first time since the Great Depression, Americans took more aid from the government than they paid in taxes."
