by admin

From PPP:

We’ll start rolling out our Ohio poll results tomorrow but there’s one finding on the poll that pretty much sums it up: by a 50-42 margin voters there say they’d rather have George W. Bush in the White House right now than Barack Obama.

Obama tells the U.N. how great he is - Washington Examiner
by admin

President Obama’s administration recently submitted a report to the United Nations on human rights in America. The 29-page report shows the nation badly flawed but fortunate to have a Nobel Prize winner as its leader. The report is billed as “a partial snapshot of the current human rights situation in the United States, including some of the areas where problems persist in our society.”

The indictment of Roger Clemens last week returned to the foreground a flurry of images that baseball has spent the past half-decade trying to forget:

• Bud Selig sitting next to Stan Musial the night of Mark McGwire’s 62nd home run in 1998, whispering to Musial that the legend was witnessing “a renaissance.”

Obama’s Education Goal - Hadley Heath
by admin

In his most recent State of the Union address, President Obama pointed to four areas of reform: Health care, energy, finance, and… education. As far as education goes, Obama has said that his goal is for 60% of Americans to hold a college degree by 2020. That’s very ambitious, considering the fact that right now the high school graduate rate is hovering around only 70%. Is it even possible to enroll enough students between 2010 and 2020 to reach a nationwide goal of a 60% college-educated citizenry?

Culture and Media Institute - The Radical Professors and Left-Wing Extremists of JournoList
by admin

JournoList founder Ezra Klein characterized the members of his listserv as merely “center to left of center.” While plenty of reports have highlighted what working journalists and others said on the listserv itself, further review of the reported membership suggests a farther-left ideology than Klein initially acknowledged.

One member boasts on his website of having been president of the socialist activist organization Students for a Democratic Society in the 1960s.

Another called for a “climate Nuremberg” trial for global warming skeptics.

Others promoted the vulgar slang “teabaggers” as a label for Tea Party protesters, railing against “right-wing trolls” and “low-lifes” and comparing conservative leaders to racists and dictators.

For far too long our colleges and universities have been allowed to ignore their chartered responsibilities to educate rather than indoctrinate. Instead of providing a forum for the free exchange of ideas, New York Times bestselling author David Horowitz argues that they intimidate students into ideological submission to leftist professors rather than pursuing meaningful research and that they proselytize for radical causes.
