The Washington Post’s managing editor, Raju Narisetti, opened his Twitter account on Monday morning with an anti-Defense Department, pro-Education Department tweet.

“Thought encounter of the day: ‘Would be good if our schools are fully funded and DoD has to hold a bake sale to buy its next fighter jet,’” Narisetti tweeted.

The Post newsroom boss absolves any comments he makes that would question his self-proclaimed objectivity by issuing a disclaimer at the top of his Twitter account, in which he describes himself as “Managing Editor, The Washington Post.”

“Any perceived opinions are accidental and links are not endorsements,” Narisetti describes himself as in his Twitter account. “I am never speaking for The Post.”

The Left has, in just three years, brought race relations crashing back into the 1950s. I was at dinner with some friends. They say that now, when they see someone in the news with a foreign name, they immediately discount anything they have to say and assume that person is an anti-American racist. Good work, Obama.

Wouldn’t it be nice if education quality was related to the amount of money spent per pupil?

It would make more sense to say, "Wouldn't it be nice if the Department of Defense ran the schools?"

This yahoo hasn’t been to a military base of late. Every time I drive on to MCB Camp Pendleton, there are Marines doing car washes to support families.
