McCain't broke, don't fix it.

McCain Blows by Public Spending Cap

Sen. John McCain has officially broken the limits imposed by the presidential public financing system, reports filed last night show. McCain has now spent $58.4 million on his primary effort. Those who have committed to public financing can spend no more than $54 million on their primary bid. So has McCain broken the law? The answer is far from simple.

After that I'll be doing the stations of the cross and whipping myself with a cat o' nine tails as I tighten my cilice, (a small metal chain with inward-pointing spikes that is worn around their upper thigh. I got mine on sale after the movie The DiVinci Code made them popular again. $29.99 at Human Target.)

This mortification is just the thing for a slow Friday night because it lets me offer up my pain to God. And this whipping has a long history in the Catholic Church. It has been endorsed by Popes!They say it lets you follow Christ who died in a bloody crucifixion and who gave this advice: "let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me." (Lk 9:23)[50] And after the Mel Gibson movie I know what I should look like at the end of the evening.
Yes, the Catholic faith is clearly one sane religion.

It worked fucking great for a very small minority in the South, and as all humans do they had an agenda in the Convention. After the Constitution was ratified, they used internal manipulations to garner way more power than warranted in disproportionate districting, etc, to ensure that the Peculiar Institution would last longer than it naturally would have, and guaranteeing civil war.

It is true and worth studying how the South formed this whiney, disproportionately powerful minority out of their own perception as God's people, and enjoyed this disproportionate power until recently. Even the placement of the capital in an uninhabitable swamp that was abandoned for much of the year until recently, from the logical original choice of New York, was a sop for the all-important cause of pleasing these damned Southerners.

Like the Good Joe Wilson, Peck was the chief-of-mission, not ambassador.


GravatarJR, here.

I probably should have qualified that with "they are hiring all new teachers because, apparently under NCLB, these teachers are teh suxxor".

Of the seven schools previously fresh-started, four have since closed; one has made modest gains and it's too soon to tell with two others, said Dave Heistad, the district's research and testing director.

GravatarZap,

Usually when the schools are having trouble it is not the teachers, you know?

Sometimes there are some teachers who are burned out. Teaching does take a toll on a person. But there really is nothing a person can do about that.

The problems that a school has are usually in the support that a school has from the structures that should be supporting it: the district, the community, the parents, and the students. If these fail, it is hard for the teachers to be the only ones supporting the school. . . .


GravatarI guess nobody's seen Madison's notes?

The kids aren't failing...they're just not living up to nonsensical standards of "performance".

I grew up in that neighborhood (the one that has the school mentioned). There's not any lack of community or financial support for the school. Minneapolis is great that way.

WASHINGTON — President Bush contended that Iran has "declared they want a nuclear weapon to destroy people" and that the Islamic Republic could be hiding a secret program.

Iran, however, has never publicly proclaimed a desire for nuclear weapons and has repeatedly insisted that the uranium enrichment program it's operating in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions is for civilian power plants, not warheads.

Bush made his assertion Wednesday in an interview marking the Iranian New Year with Radio Farda, a U.S. government-run radio service that broadcasts into Iran in the Farsi language. The White House released the transcript on Thursday.

GravatarZap,

In all fairness, the results that are expected on the standardized tests are not that difficult to achieve for suburban schools. The problems arise when you move the tests into places where they were not designed to be effective.

The vocabulary is "different" the concepts are "different" and the ethics of trying to do well on the tests are different. Example: on a science test it asked the kids which sound was "Lower" and then it listed several different sounds. My children understand the word LOWER to mean "Softer" not something slower in vibration resulting in a tone lower in the register. They all missed that question.

I cannot tell you how many times I looked at my student's answers to questions that I KNEW that they KNEW the answers to and had answered incorrectly. I asked them why they answered the question that way and they just shrugged their shoulders.

No matter how hard we stressed that they try, they would not, could not, did not as much as we wanted.

I dunno what the answer is: I prefer trusting the teacher. We know our students pretty well. But we don't do that, so . . . .


GravatarIndeed, State governments were seen as threats, though there was real fear of a central govt.

Central banks float rescue ideas
By Chris Giles and Krishna Guha in London
Published: March 21 2008 22:02 | Last updated: March 21 2008 22:02

Central banks on both sides of the Atlantic are actively engaged in discussions about the feasibility of mass purchases of mortgage-backed securities as a possible solution to the credit crisis.

Such a move would involve the use of public funds to shore up the market in a key financial instrument and restore confidence by ending the current vicious circle of forced sales, falling prices and weakening balance sheets.


GravatarThe Late Great Unpleasantness really was just a bit of a tiff.

It was just a family feud.


GravatarThe Report on Manufactures is the third report, and magnum opus, of American Founding Father and 1st U.S. Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton to Congress on December 5th, 1791 recommending economic policies to stimulate the new republic's economy and ensure its independence won in 1783 with the completion of the Revolutionary War.


GravatarIndeed. And paradoxically, he and Jefferson are my favorite Framers.
NTodd†


Tommy Jeff could write like a motherfucker.


GravatarHamilton's "Report on Manufactures" laid forth economic principles, rooted in both the Mercantilist System of Elizabeth I's England and the practices of Jean-Baptiste Colbert of France. The principle ideas of the "Report" would later be incorporated into the "American System" program by Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky and his Whig Party. Abraham Lincoln who called himself a "Henry Clay tariff Whig" during his early years would later make the principles outlined in the "Report" and furthered by Clay's "American System" program as cornerstones, together with opposition to the institution and expansion of slavery, of the fledgling Republican Party.


Gravatarthe *troops* are bushco thugs and gunsels. why support them?


GravatarShorter Mukasey: Really, people, please be too shocked by our enemies
to think too hard about what we're doing.
The other night we watched a conflicted but sincere film from the early forties about the internment of Japanese Californians. The speaker acknowledged several times that they knew the overwhelming majority of these people were not only innocent but exemplary citizens and that they were being selected on explicitly racial grounds, that this was regrettable, but that this was believed to be necessary. He claimed the US would try to be as accommodating as possible while denying the enemy a potential source of support (such as Hitler was able to use in occupied Netherlands and elsewhere among ethnic Germans). He offered that our enemies can see us here at our worst and say, we are still at worst trying to be humane and accommodating, and learn from this. He closed by affirming that the United States would not allow the actions of its enemies to give it a childish excuse to lower its own standards. If the internment were happening today we'd just fucking disappear them all in the middle of the night and not allow contact with the outside world, we'd be following Eichmann instead of Eisenhower.

GravatarHamilton reasoned that to secure American independence the United States needed to have a sound policy of encouraging the growth of manufacturing and secure its future as a permanent feature of the economic system of the nation. These he argued could be achieved through: bounties or subsidies to industry, regulation of trade with moderate tariffs not to discourage imports but to raise revenue to support American manufacturing through subsidy, and other government encouragement. These policies would not only promote the growth of manufacturing but provide diversified employment opportunities and promote immigration into the young United States, but it would also expand the applications of technology and science for all quarters including agriculture.

Jesus is black. Merging Marxism with Christian Gospel may show the way to a better tomorrow. The white church in America is the Antichrist because it supported slavery and segregation. Those are some of the more provocative doctrines that animate the theology at the core of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Barack Obama's church.

Obama is giving us a "national conversation on race," but mostly by letting a lot of white people realize just what circulates, unremarked, in the black community.

GravatarObama. He's the one who played the race card, in hopes that Hillary would lose the 60% support she had in the Black community. He played it to a tee, and now garners 92% of the black vote himself. However, he also chose to attend a church with a bigoted, hate-filled preacher. And despite all the scum in the media, and all the despicable scum outside the media, who still support this lying, lowlife, racist, bigoted piece of crud, the American people will NEVER elect him. He may eventually STEAL this nomination, but he will NEVER win in the general election. Face it. And anyone too dumb TOO face it, you're gonna be forced to if he succeeds in stealing this nomination from Hillary.


GravatarSo I'm cooking dinner.
(Sugar glazed garlic shrimp with wild rice.) and I'm listening to the fill in for Mark 'Whiniest Voice in the World" Levin. And he is going on about all the connections to this Pastor that Obama has and blah, blah, blah. And I'm just thinking. "Why can't we tie everyone else on the talk radio side to the crazy religious people that THEY have on the show? "

I remember how Hannity kept his friendship with Ted Nugent and with Pat Robertson right after they said something terrible.

This double standard is just insane. But I do want to file it away for future reference. So that when one of their buddies says something horrific we can say. "I need YOU to denounce this person just like you were demanding that Obama denounce his pastor. Of course they have their slippery tricks. "Well I didn't sit in Pat Robertson's church for 20 years, I didn't title my second book after one of his sermons, I didn't blah, blah, blah."

It is just stunning to me that they are so desperate to attack Obama that they use what someone ELSE said to beat up on him.


GravatarIf anyone actually cares (which I doubt) my central idea for improving the schools at this time would be to (oddly enough) return to true neighborhood schools. Have a teacher and an aide and a wired classroom with a super-duper curriculum delivered individually through the computer with assistance from the teacher, aide, and other students.

Our present schools are designed to produce MASS quantities of people all doing the same thing at the same time in the same location. This is not what work consists of any more (If it ever did that much)

We stifle students who can move on through material that they grasp easily and we do not spend enough time with students who need extra help on subjects. (And teachers, in order to address the needs of all students are guilty of giving "Make-work" assignments so that they can work with individuals.)

This method would also help students to become nurturing adults. They would have students as young as five in the same classroom and would have to learn some of the skills necessary for parenting.

But we will never do this: hard to get a football team and marching band, you know?

There is nothing illegitimate or unethical about that bit of framing.

No, I am just stoned on my drugs (legal and prescribed NSA, K?) and about to turn in.

It is just that there SOLUTIONS to most of the problems that we face but there are forces that STOP us from doing anything about them. Intel announces today that it has found a way to extend wireless internet signals up to sixty miles. That should mean in a place like where I live, one central tower should be able to broadcast the "Web" to the county -- paid for out of our taxes. (But Comcast will fight it. Verizon will fight it. And nothing will done)

Schools are a mess. We should change them. The textbook manufacturers will fight this. The multinationals involved in the school lunch programs will fight this. The Teachers Associations will fight this (It will require teachers to learn more and be certified as K-12 in all subjects) Parents will fight this because it is different.

And on and on. Energy prices are dropping again as soon as people start gearing up and racism rules until it stops after the damage is done.

Even applied to McCain and her as I said, it disparages no one.
