The House Limbaugh Built And May Have Burned Down
Premiere Networks, which distributes Limbaugh as well as a host of other right-wing talkers, sent an email out to its affiliates early Friday listing 98 large corporations that have requested their ads appear only on “programs free of content that you know are deemed to be offensive or controversial (for example, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Tom Leykis, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity).”
The War On Women Rages On
Remember that mandated ultrasound bill Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell ran away from? It’s back, in revised form, and signed into law.
Is There A Tipping Point When It Comes To Charter Schools?
Charter schools have moved front and center in the education debate, mainly due to the announcements over the past month. First, there was the donated BofA building slated to house charter schools. This school would hold approximately 2,000 students. Then there was the expansion of Newark Charter School. Once fully operational, this school would hold an estimated 2,300 students. Odyssey Charter moved into the spotlight with its expansion plan. Projected enrollment: 1,716. That’s a lot of charter. The question is… Is there a tipping point when it comes to Charter Schools and how they impact traditional Public Schools?
Public Hearing For Newark Charter School Moved To Larger Venue
he Public Hearing for Newark Charter School has been moved from the Townsend Building to a larger venue to accommodate greater public participation. The new location is the Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control (DNREC) Auditorium. It is within walking distance from the DDOE (approximately a ¼ mile). Attached are the directions and revised public notice. We will have signage posted at DDOE and staff available to redirect constituents and give them directions to the new building. Please share this update with your constituents. We will start the hearing 15 minutes later to allow for the transition.
It’s Raining Charter Schools!
Odyssey Charter has been working on a deal for the old Wanamaker’s building and is planning to open a Charter High School in that location. I had heard about this week and was emailing everyone to find out if this was true. Kilroy, as usual, finds the answer: Application to Modify an Exsiting Charter – Odyssey […]
What’s Up With Mitt Romeny RMoney And Song Lyrics?
And why does he act like he’s the only one who’s ever heard of them? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se2jXRJJs4Y&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] Well, at least he didn’t sing this time. What other song lyrics will Mitt quote before the primary ends? Georgia On My Mind? Indiana Wants Me? California Dreamin’?
Republicans Should Have Learned The Komen Lesson
My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.
That. Is. Not. An. Apology. What that is the classic: Sorry, if you can’t take a joke. I was just being humorous, but you’re too sensitive to have a sense of humor. I was simply making a very important, bigger point, that you’re too stupid to understand. An apology isn’t an apology if you can fit in the word “but.” Go ahead and add that word after Rush’s first sentence. It fits beautifully. And the backlash that’s building around this situation has much in common with the Komen fiasco. Attack women, or an institution women love, and face the consequences. 2012 is shaping up to be the year of the woman.
Wilmington City Council vs. Newark Charter School
Anyone else get the feeling that education in Delaware is about to explode?
Personally, I’d like to slow the entire Charter (and Choice) train down. I can’t keep up, and can’t shake the feeling that these Charters and our legislators are privy to information that the rest of read only after the deal is done. Basically, I’m not supposed to keep up or catch up. Meanwhile, things are moving forward in City government.
Rush Limbaugh Will Agree To Contraception Coverage If Georgetown Student Posts Sex Tapes Online
LIMBAUGH: “So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex. We want something for it. We want you post the videos online so we can all watch.” Has any Republican denounced this pervert’s comments yet? Know what, Republicans? Keep going down this path. See you in November.
Questions…
First, wouldn’t the Blunt Amendment* allow an anti-vaccine boss deny coverage for immunizations? Second, if you are a member of a Catholic Parish could you be denied birth control coverage?
Contraception Debate Finally Goes There
There’s something refreshing when Republicans finally say out loud what we always knew they thought.
