  • After 50 years, it's time to scrap both failed policies

    lowell sun ^ | 5/15 | Peter Lucas
    President Barack Obama had the right words, only the wrong occasion. The president said, "I don't anticipate overnight changes. But what I know deep in my bones is that if you've done the same thing for 50 years and nothing has changed, you should try something different if you want a different outcome, and this gives us an opportunity for a different outcome." That is what Obama should have said when he talked about the rioting, pillaging and looting that took place in Baltimore, while police were held back, after the death in police custody of Freddie Gray. But, no,...

  • Bill Would Allow Local Governments to Post Notices Online Rather than in Newspapers

    Michigan Capitol Confidential ^ | 5/11/2015 | Jack Spencer
    Numerous state statutes require that cities, townships, school districts, and counties publish advance notice of events and actions such as meetings, ordinances, assessments, proposed rezoning, and elections in traditional hard copy newspapers. Legislation offered in the Michigan House could put an end to that requirement. House Bill 4183 would, over a nine-year period, end the requirement that local governments post public notices in newspapers and let the notices be posted online instead. Debate over the measure pits efficiency, the prospects of saving taxpayer dollars, and current reading habits against weakening of transparency. The bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Amanda...

  • Boomer Anthems: "Sympathy for the Devil"

    American Digest ^ | May 13, 2015 3:11 PM | Gerard Van der Leun
    Sympathy for the Devil in all its variations represents the Boomers acme and epitaph. [Embedded Video: The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil (Live) - OFFICIAL ] I last saw the Stones perform this at Altamont, where it was accompanied by pool cue bludgeoning and a lethal stabbing. I sort of last my taste for it after that concert, but I check in on variations from the Stones' endless tours from time to time. More and more the penultimate line, "Just as every cop is a criminal / And all the sinners saints" seems to be prophetic of this...

  • The Oppression Narrative

    Politicalhat ^ | Posted on May 12, 2015 | The Political Hat
    We have previously mentioned the re-write of the AP guide for History. The new AP guide for teaching History is nothing less than (yet another) declaration of war against the very essence of America. Elizabeth Price Foley over at Instapundit has termed the MiniTru approved truth as “the oppression narrative.” An apt label for an education system that tears down American civilization as an “evil” and replaces it with a Howard Zinnified version of reality. As Foley notes: “How about just teaching our children about the founding, the Constitution, and the major historical eras? It isn’t a cultural anthropology or...

    Conservatives4Palin ^ | May 11 2015 | Steve Flesher
    I ran across this heavily edited article at USA Today written by Susan Page.  In it, she reports a new book coming out by a man she describes as having a "33-year career with the CIA."  This man is Michael Morell who praises Barack Obama as "extremely thorough" but claims that Governor Palin had "no understanding of national security issues" back when he claims to have met her in 2008. Everything from the headline to the image Susan Page uses indicates who the USA Today writer was interested in spotlighting.  (Yep, Governor Palin remains the left’s ultimate bogeyman).  Furthermore, when one digs a tad...

    The Money Illusion ^ | May 8, 2015
    The Conservatives won an impressive come from behind victory last night. I thought it would be interesting to compare the actual outcome, to the outcome that would have occurred with a German-style proportional representation system. In that system, seats are assigned in proportion to vote share, but only to parties getting at least 5% of the vote. I’ll show the number of seats under the German regime, with the actual number won in parentheses. The difference is stunning: Conservative 273 (330) Labour 226 (232) UKIP 93 (1) Liberal Dems 58 (8) SNP 0 (56) Others 0 (23) I suppose the...

Scotland has 59 seats in the British Parliament. The list below shows the distribution of Scottish UK Parliament seats from the 2010 election to the 2015 election. 2010 - Labor (41), Liberal Democrats...
