May 11 Open Thread: Study Finds Charters an Existential Threat to Public Education

The problem with arguing from facts is that you have to take the time to gather them. So now we have a study that reaches the same conclusion Delawareans reached a decade ago: charter schools are an existential threat to public education, and for the same reason we have witnessed: In siphoning off students from the regular schools, charters end up costing more than they save.

You think you hate Donald Trump? You don’t hate him nearly as much as the Scots do. Not only has he purchased a couple of the country’s most iconic golf courses, he just redid the resort at Turnberry and, in deference to the property’s rugs, banned Irn-Bru, Scotland’s national soft drink. Irn-Bru is an even louder shade of orange than Trump himself, though it’s not orange flavored (Americans say it tastes like bubble gum). How popular is it? Scotland is one of only four countries in the world in which Coca-Cola is not the best-selling soft drink.

Heavily embalmed old wart Sheldon Adelson has cut a $30 million check to the GOP to help stave off the looming House electoral disaster. If Yahweh were still alive, he’d burn down one of the turd’s casinos.

Why are conservatives so consistently such crooked fucks? Because they’re no downside to it. Case in point: Religio-conservative Hugh Hewitt used his position to lobby crooked EPA chief Scott Pruitt to clean up a polluted site near Hewitt’s property. Hewitt did not lose his job at supposedly liberal MSNBC or at the supposedly liberal Washington Post. Nor was he fed to lions, which is the proper punishment for “Christians.”

Who says America is not about fairness? When this man couldn’t afford to live in an apartment in Seattle any more he took to living in his truck, which the authorities towed away because it was parked too long in one spot. The homeless guy won his court case to get it back, and might have inadvertently touched off the next big thing in impoverishing the masses.
