Every week on Monday morning , the Council and invited guests weigh in at the Watcher’s Forum, short takes on a major issue of the day. This week’s question: How would you change the role teachers unions play in public education? The Noisy Room: Overlooking the fact that a US Federal Department of Education is […]

Once in a while, a story arises that seems like it came from Mars. Here’s one such: Mayors back parents seeking control of schools! Yes, that’s right: Martian Mayors call for parents to take control of their schools! No, it was the United States Conference of Mayors. Reuters reports that they stood up to the […]

My friend Doug Ross has a great post up. Barack Obama has discovered a new presidential power – making laws by presidential decree. Just like the Kings used to do, or Dictators still do today. Obama enacts amnesty, bypassing Congress, and the Democrats and the Mainstream Media go along with him. Ok. So I guess […]

In light of the recent Wisconsin teachers’ debacle, I thought it prudent to examine the morality of government contracts in general—especially that legislation which includes long-term “guarantees”. The following argument seems to be most prevalent among the teachers unions (and all similar beneficiaries at every level of government): “we were promised such and such at […]

Yesterday, Politico’s Ben Smith posted this: The Democratic National Committee’s Organizing for America arm — the remnant of the 2008 Obama campaign — is playing an active role in organizing protests against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s attempt to strip most public employees of collective bargaining rights. OfA, as the campaign group is known, has been […]

Take your pick: Damned if you do, damned if you don’t or stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either saying is appropriate for the dilemma Democrats now find themselves in as far as extending the Bush Tax Cuts. On the one hand, raising taxes in the current economy is really not an option. […]

Pastor Michel Faulkner, former NJ Jet (we’ll forgive him for that) and VT Hokie football player, is the GOP candidate for the 15th Congressional District in NY. That happens to be the seat held by Cong. Charlie Rangel, long time Harlem representative who is under an ethical cloud. Faulkner would be a breach of fresh […]

Although there are some $400,000,000,000 Stimulus dollars of the $820,000,000,000 already ‘appropriated’, Nancy Pelosi summoned her henchpersons to Washington today for a two pronged mission. Mission One: Steal another $2,000,000,000 from future Americans (let’s not kid ourselves here, we’re not paying for it. Kids and embryos will shoulder this burden) and pay off the Teachers unions, Firefighters unions […]

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called members of the House of Representatives back to Washington from their districts today to pass what the Democrat leadership considers a priority—a $26 billion bailout for teachers unions and spendthrift state governments. This is, of course, on top of recent spending on bailouts, the massive, unpopular health care bill, unemployment […]
