It is my pleasure to share the following notice with my readers: Dr. Jay P. Greene, head of the University of Arkansas Department of Education Reform and Manhattan Institute scholar, one of the sharpest minds in the world of education policy, has started a blog under his own name. In only a few days Jay already has provocative posts up on the proximity of teachers union headquarters to state capitols, comparisons of sexual misconduct data on male public school teachers vs. male Catholic priests, and more evidence of the myth on K-12 education spending. ( As he explains on the introduction page, all views expressed on the blog are his, and not necessarily those of the respective institutions for which he works.) I would invite you to … [Read more...]
Blogger Exposes CNN Agenda Journalism on Penn State Campus
On the eve of the most crucialest of all crucial votes in this media-obsessed rollercoaster of a Democrat presidential showdown - also known as the Pennsylvania primary - I wanted to turn attention to a major example of in-your-face media bias provided in coverage of the event. Warner Todd Huston, someone I met at Samsphere Chicago, exposed the verbally abusive bias of CNN's Rick Sanchez on the Penn State University campus:CNN contacted students in several political clubs at Penn State to arrange for the interview and two weeks ago their cameras and crews arrived at the university to film the segment with the on-air personality. 21-year-old journalism student Chelsea Brown, though, was less than impressed by Sanchez’ bellicose … [Read more...]

Inspiration for Center-Right Bloggers
Yesterday I wrote about the positive experience of meeting RedState's Erick Erickson. What I forgot to post was a mention of the speech he gave at Samsphere. It's good food for thought for those of us who blog on the conservative, pro-freedom side. Better yet, here's the link to a written version of the speech, with an excerpt to tease your interest:Too many of us are frozen by inaction today because of our visions of tomorrow. I can’t tell you how many friends I see sitting around, plotting web strategy and how to crush the left online only to sit on their hands or twiddle their thumbs and give up hope because they don’t have the funding or the knowledge or the connections or the skill set or the message hammered out — great ideas … [Read more...]
Can’t Blame Tax Day
Tax Day. The Ides of April. The anniversaries of two epic tragedies: the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the sinking of the Titanic. Monday / Tuesday. All very compelling reasons - but none actually bear the responsibility - for the sparse blogging in the last day or so. I hope to get a substantive post or two up tonight. We'll see. … [Read more...]
