Sociologist Mary Texiera, stated that “research has shown that students learn better when they fully comprehend the language they are being taught in”. That research she sites is sketchy [...]

It appears “private” means “whatever your rulers decide it means”. In what should have been no surprise, the Supreme Court decided that corrupt local officials [...]

Had an interesting discussion with some co-workers yesterday at the People’s Republic school where I work. Several female co-workers were complaining that they were feeling the economic squeeze because their kiddies are at university and it was expensive.

Yesterday it was also revealed that Ben Barnes was revealed to be a dummy-cratic fundraiser and political hack who has ties to the Kerry Campaign.

Snap, Snap, Snap……….
It is amazing the sound that vinyl records make when they hit a hard surface. Not quite like glass, but more resounding than plastic. It is a delicious sound. Not as loud as the plastic of a CD snapping, but both uniquely satisfying. So as to not leave the reader in the dark, [...]

Bern;

OZZY compares Bush to Hitler
Now something for the things that make you go “hmmm” column….
Drudge is reporting that at Ozzy Osbourne’s concerts, Ozzy has a video showing Bush and Hitler together with a caption reading “Same sh*t different a**hole”.
Amazing, simply amazing. Here is a man who appears considerably impaired and has engaged in a [...]

Nader Derided By Racists
Remember the tired old fairy tale that you “cannot be a racist if you do not have power”? The one used to justify that racist minorities cannot be racist if they do not have power? Well Newsmax has reported that Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader was called by leaders of the [...]

MY BOYCOTT OF Q101 IN CHICAGO……
I have a confession to make. I like Alternative music. Always have. And I liked New Wave and Punk Music before that. I cut my teeth musically in a Punk Band way back in 1980. So it probably would be little surprise that I listened [...]

THERE AND BACK AGAIN…..
I know Fire, like myself, is a great Lord of the Rings Fan, so I thought I might pass along that it was announced yesterday on http://www.thehobbitfilm.com/ that Filming was to begin by New Line Cinema on “The Hobbit”. It appears that Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Andy Serkis (Gollum) will be [...]

MY K. of C. BREAKFAST
Bafflement has been the emotion of choice lately in trying to understand the Democrats hold on unions. Not the union leaders, mind you, but the members. A case in point….
A close personal friend of mine works for the local water utility. He comes from humble means and has [...]
