November (Photo credit: edebell)The Polling Place Bake Sale Zone?
I've voted in Texas, California, and Indiana, but something my brother
tweeted this morning was new to me: apparently it's a thing that there are
bake sales at polling places. I've spent some energy on twitter today
trying to figure out where this happens, so I figured I might as well take
it here, too. So far, we have reports of polling place bake sales in
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New York City, New Jersey, Minnesota,
and Michigan. In each case (I think), it's at public schools; apparently
it's a good captive market to exploit. Makes sense, but then again it would

higher than 96% of readings since World War II. It’s also significantly

How Do Progressives Explain The Affordable Care Act To Their Constituents? Matt Cartwright And Lee Rogers
Matt Cartwright wasn't in Congress when the Affordable Care Act passed.
People taken in by conservative lies-- or who are freaked out about the

they're trying to blame other Democrats in Congress. Cartwright could have
laid low and let the battle rage on around him. But that's not the Matt

Seeking to Overturn Earlier Court of Appeal Decisions - Procedural Requirements
*Cumming v. Peterborough Police Association*, 2013 ONCA 670 is useful for
the procedure to be followed when seeking to overturn an earlier decision
of the Court of Appeal.
Generally the best approach is to argue the earlier decision does not bind
the Court because there are distinguishing factors between the precedent
and the instant case.
However, on occasion, there is no way to make such distinctions and the
argument that the earlier decision is bad law must be faced squarely.
In order so to do the party must apply to the Chief Justice and convince

Of all people surprised that I became an evangelical Christian, I'm the

Just seven years ago, if someone had told me that I'd be writing for *Christianity

out loud. If there was one thing in which I was completely secure, it was
that I would never adhere to any religion—especially to evangelical
Christianity, which I held in particular contempt.
I grew up in the Episcopal Church in Alaska, but my belief was superficial

The Pakistani government is warning of a new rift with the United States

Quote of the Day: On “The Angry Left”
“There’s a lot of hatred out there in the Angry Left, and a lot of paranoia
about
sinister figures and corporations … The Left’s conspiracy-mentality does
not come
from any sense of ideological impotence… The Angry Left’s vision of puppet
masters who pull the strings comes from a deeper cause: a feeling of
personal
inadequacy. ‘Some sinister forces are robbing me of my just desserts.’ …
“Hatred on the Left goes down to the core of the Leftist’s being. This is
one of the
reasons that I’m so opposed to using the term “Liberal” to refer to the
Angry Left.”

The trouble with Obamacare
As I said before the fatal flaw in Obamacare has always been its dependence
on BigInsurance to act responsibly in being allowed to remain as the
middlemen to health care. I don't think they have any great obligation to
inform their policy holders about the competition but the scary
cancellation letters forcing consumers to opt out of being flim flammed
into high priced products shouldn't be legal. If we had a functioning
Congress, they would fix that oversight. But we don't, and many will be
cheated.
Which brings us to the second chronic flaw. Confused consumers. The

Scumbag insurance corporations scamming their policy holders

companies lying about Obamacare to their policy holders.
Donna received the letter canceling her insurance plan on Sept. 16. Her
insurance company, LifeWise of Washington, told her that they'd identified
a new plan for her. If she did nothing, she'd be covered.
Of course she would be paying $300 a month more for the pleasure of staying
with a plan she "liked." But Donna is no fool. She shopped around on the

There is no such thing as the United Front today, no such thing compared to

case should we worry at all about what is or isn't a 'united front' or a
'popular front'? The liability of the popular front, as it was in the 1930s
and during the cold war, was not so much that it was a cross-class
alliance. If that was the case then the Paris Commune was a popular front,
as was the Soviet of Workers, Soldiers and Peasants Deputies. The problem
with the popular front was it denied working class agency. This is the real

Realtors - the Hell of the Haves and the Have Nots
I'm currently getting ready to retire.
And related to that - I am downsizing - dramatically.
During this past year I have learned a lot of crap I never wanted to know
about realtors.
With realtors, its all about money and whether you are a Have and a Have Not
I have no problem with people making money - that's what life is all about
its about how you go about making that money.
This past year has shown me what motivates realtors.
You have to realize that to work with a realtor
- you have to sign a contract with them.
Which confines you to all levels of hell.

Sex and intellect at the Times!
*MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2013*
*How unintelligent are they:* Yesterday, Maureen Dowd opened her piece with
the world’s dullest question.
It was followed by a type of answer from an intellectual giant:
DOWD (11/3/13): *I asked Mike Nichols, the director of Harold Pinter’s
“Betrayal” on Broadway, why love triangles have such a mythic hold on the
imagination.*
“We’re born in a triangle,” he said about parents and a newborn. “That’s
the most important one, the triangle that determines who we are, the one
that affects the other triangles that you get into in your life. *It’s all
about tha... more »
Jal Mehta Nails the Reasons Why School Reform Has Failed
The *Allure of Order *provides one of the best single explanations of how
and why top-down school reform failed. Elites chose to “colonize” the
disrespected teaching profession. Part of the solution, Mehta indicated,
was transforming teaching into a real and respected profession.
Mehta’s “From Bureaucracy to Profession: Remaking the Educational Sector
for the Twenty-First Century” provides an equally brilliant diagnosis of
why outcomes-driven accountability has repeatedly failed to improve
schools. It is a fascinating piece of political science. As I reveled in
Mehta’s historical an... more »
SEEING MY LIFE AS A QUEST VS. A STRUGGLE
*Allen L Roland, PhD *
*My life has been a quest, not a struggle, to fully surrender to love and
eventually re-embrace a young child within myself who felt, knew and longed
to share a great truth ~ before he closed his heart at six years old ~ that
a profound love and joy deepest within myself indelibly connected me to a **Unified
Field* *of love and soul consciousness that exists not only beyond time and
space but also deepest within all living beings: Allen L Roland***
I'm almost 80 years old, yet I remember surrendering to my birth
experience, pushing against s... more »
Evidence? Randi Weingarten Ignores the Evidence
In Evidence? Secretary Duncan, You Can’t Handle the Evidence, I note that
Duncan simply refuses to acknowledge the abundant evidence that Common Core
is a failed standards/testing paradigm. Now Randi Weingarten appears to be
traveling down the same misleading path with Will States Fail the Common
Core?: Without standards aligned to what kids need to succeed in college,
career […]
Reverse Engineering the Illuminati Mind Set

*Pt.1 'On the Inside of Darkness'*

When a US army drone got on the wrong side of the Iranian border a year or
two ago, some clever hackers found a way into its coded electronics and
guided it down to earth. From there it was "taken into custody" by Iranian
forces and subsequently taken apart – and a cloned version was reverse
engineered into existence. At least, that is what we are led to believe.
This salutary tale provides us with an excellent template for the
deconstruction of the Illuminati mind set and ... more »
