  • Blaska's Blog: T. Wall or T. Thompson?

    Blaska Blog

    Have run into Terrence Wall four times in the last week, which means he's been everywhere. He even visited the Stately Manor. (Fortunately, Ruben Mamoulian had the day off.) That's a sign that his campaign for the U.S. Senate has achieved some lift-off, despite my earlier misgivings. [...]

  • What a difference a year makes

    Try 2 Focus

    Last year’s porkulus bill supposedly helped school districts across the state.  The argument that it was only a one-year fix was ignored by the districts as they covered deficits and saved teaching positions.  Now what would have happen a year ago in many districts is happening. Government records indicate thousands of [...]

  • Swear to uphold the bible?

    FightingBob.com

    Normally members of Congress place hand on a Bible and swear or affirm to uphold the constitution of the United States. They do not place a hand on the constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.

    That was a quote from Jamie Raskin, constitutional law professor at American University, Maryland [...]

    over the last year when it comes to reporting on healthcare reform.

    This is outrageous and a disgraceful way to treat a veteran. Not to mention possibly illegal. At least a week before Veterans Affairs Secretary John Scocos was fired, the department’s board members had secretly come up with a strategy to dismiss and replace him, complete with a “PR plan” and “talking [...]
