Sunday Morning News and Notes

Sphere: Related Content

In beautiful Hershey, PA for a baseball tourney.

Here's what's news:

-Gitmo detainees to get computer training including how to use the Internet. What could go wrong?

-Becoming fat, dumb and happy at taxpayers expense. It's a good gig if you can get it.

-While the average American is cutting unnecessary expenses, the Obama's take an unnecessary vacation. The man has a tin ear when it comes to listening to the common man. The GOP will rightly bash the hell out of them for it.

-P.J. O'Rourke on why Americans fell out of love with the American car.

-A charter school in Southern California recruits prospective teachers using words such as this:


"We are looking for hard working people who believe in free market capitalism. . . . Multicultural specialists, ultra liberal zealots and college-tainted oppression liberators need not apply."
The school is scoring unbelievably high on tests and sending poor kids to college. In other words they are hugely successful. The Obama administration and NEA will therefore try to shut them down.

-The country where the Kyoto Protocols were launched is realizing what a scam it actually was.

No wonder that a charter school would receive "high marks": California public schools rank 48th for poor student performance notwithstanding the State's Numero UNO teacher pay scale. That's right: teachers are the highest paid in the Nation, while students are almost dead last in knowledge.
