Charlie Brown Teacher Speaking

I'm in the middle of a weeks long tax conference(s). The only thing different between me and Peppermint Patty is the stylish clothing (her's not mine).

Why Obama's Stimulus Failed: A Case Study of Silver Spring, Maryland

Stuff libertals run - Universities


Check out the graph above.

Now maybe someone in the liberal ranks can explain to me how it is that ever since the feds started expanding student loans and Pell grants, education became less and less affordable.

Article here..........

BTW. I hate to be one of "those guys". The guys who resist change because it's change. But after simply upgrading to the new blogger, I lost all the stuff on the side panels and I find the new blogger horrible. I still can't find the font change for the post text. It sucks. So I went back to the old format until I'm forced to use the new one.

I'll try and get together ASAP.

17 Miles in Just 78 Minutes! Light Rail vs. Reality in LA

Thanks reader tim for the link

Cancel the game

If you watched the UC XU game yesterday, you got to see a good fight on the court as the game was ending.

I've been a little perturbed that most media types and commentators have somehow placed all of this on UC, particularly, Yancey Gates, who's main sin was apparently being the only one to land a punch.

It's too bad Gates has more heart in a fight than his game.



Of course, I'm a biased UC fan but let's go through the progressions of this.

It was an UX player that initiated any of the physical altercations when he pushed the UC player who he was not guarding.

Watch the press conference with Lyon and Holloway. Do these two clowns represent the "clean image" XU purports to have. These guys are thugs. Holloway got a technical in last year's game as a result of all his trash talking.

What isn't in the video is that after all the melee calmed down, the XU guys came back out on to the court to get into with the remaining UC fans. Kenny Frease started taunting a bunch of female fans and started heading to the stands. I guess if one of them had punch him he would have crawled back to the locker room.

As a UC fan, it gets tiring to hear the conventional wisdom that our teams are packs of thugs and the XU guys are characterized as good citizens. It's not UC who let their self proclaimed "gangstas" to talk to the media and talk about putting the opposition in bodybags.

I think UC should just cancel the damn game for good and be done with the whole thing.
