A heckuva job, JJ and AA

Half of Boston's high school graduates who studied math when they arrived at local colleges in fall 2005 had to take remedial courses, which a quarter of them failed. Now, now, who's fault is that?

Where is Uncle Omar?

From the comments section: Who cares? The world will be better soon. Once Obama is elected we will form a new national security unit full of young citizens who will bring real change to America. Soon the world will see the power of the Obama nation and the new Democratic/Labor Party. Long Live Barak Obama.

A Card Carrying Boston Liberal Gets It



Simple, yet utterly to the point. No Le Pewian "truthinessy' needed when hard reality is before you.

"Yet, in every one of my encounters with America's rural communities, the diversity of my privileged experience was eclipsed by the depth of theirs. I had rhetoric; they had well-measured speech, punctuated by forbearing silences. I had easy answers; they knew there was no such thing.

It is not that the Republican base is anti-intellectual, as David Broder claims; they are anti-elitist. An Ivy League education is hardly a universal signal of competence in anything other than the liberal cultural canon."

The Huntington Democracy Paradigm Comes a Cropper



Planet Pepe weeps with joy, for the rumors of the Death of Tyrannies were greatly exaggerated. Now time to bring that Ho Bitch, Lady Liberty, to her knees.

I'm Back in this Absolut World


Today, I have internet. And the end of blessed silence from AA is unhappily upon you. Vodkas all around, boyos.

AI, we've got to get a drink sometime soon. I now understand why the devil's water sells so well near any public education joint. I need liquor, and I need it muy pronto.
MFT, enjoy that beetsoup and blackbread. However, I shall return to this plate of freshly grilled viands from a local Brazilian restaurant.
JJ, bliss while you can on the sub-80 temperatures while you have them. Come April you'll be sweating a mighty river, if not hunkering down in a brick icebox of a building that would do Novgorad proud.

The "mapclustr" has grown nicely since we "made public" this blog. But I won't rest happy until we see a nice little dot out of Mecca [probably the HQ of the Ministry For The Propagation of Virtue and The Prevention of Vice --and not the harem quarters where some fat poobah from the House of Saud keeps his comely wenches. Oh well].

[Added a pic--is that you in front of that rakija vat, AA? --AI]
