    merit pay ain’t the way

    There is no question that Barack Obama will be a better president for the state of education in this country than George “is our children learning” Bush could ever hope to be, and almost anything would be better than Bush’s odious, expensive, top-heavy and radically stupid No Child Left Behind.

    That being said, merit pay is just another Republican red herring and should be round-filed along [...]



    The Columbian gives cover to Radical Homophobic Agenda

    It seems that The Columbian equates giving religious fundamentalist fringe “a seat at the table” with bestowing a high honor on one of its leaders. The following is my response to their latest Cheers & Jeers:

    After the hyperpartisanship and ideologically driven policy that marked the outgoing administration there is no disagreement that it is a necessary and admirable endeavor for Obama to be gracious in [...]



    hey, one of you m.s.m. folks in north carolina…

    Could you please ask Elizabeth Dole if, since she’s so opposed granting any rights furthering the “radical homosexual agenda,” she also would strike prescription coverage for Viagra from Medicare for old gays? Or would that cutoff Bob’s freebies from Pfizer?

    A new mailer in support of incumbent Sen. Elizabeth Dole claims that Hagan’s agenda, with the help of “liberal judges,” will be to advance a [...]



    don’t shuffle and slouch toward the center -

    Use your left hook to knock those Republican fuckers out.

    The FISA debate is going on this morning (voting tomorrow – CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW OR EXPLAIN TO YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS WHY YOU DIDN’T).

    Running parallel to the FISA debate is the progressive renting of garments over should we or shouldn’t we be pounding Obama for his shift to the center.

    R.U. Sirius Kicks Off The QuestionAuthority Movement

    Author, podcaster and Mondo 2000 founder Ken Goffman – better known as R.U. Sirius – has a proposal for all of us:

    A dark cloud is passing over America. We’ve witnessed, in recent years, the death of many of our constitutional rights and liberties. We’ve also seen increasingly authoritarian trends in daily life and culture.Those of us who would prefer to keep our freedoms have been [...]

    Leave Iran alone or use DIPLOMACY

    Politicians these days can’t get enough of fear mongering about Iran. We can’t let them develop nuclear weapons. They are interfering in Iraq. The soldiers in their military are terrorists. They want to annihilate Israel. Democrats and Republicans alike seem to think the right approach is to demonize and threaten the Iranians.

    Chris Hedges over at Truthdig imagines what will happen [...]



    PBS to Air Pro-Church/State Program

    After deep-sixing an independently produced program that offered a broader image of moderate Islam and the secular Arabic world, publicly subsidized PBS has chosen to air a revisionist history program that recasts Church/State separation fundamentalists (no pun intended) such as Jefferson and Madison as misinterpreted Christians.
    From The Americans United for the Separation of Church and State’s website:

    “The Wall of Separation” is a production of Boulevard [...]
