Left I on the News / 12d

At first glance, this story headlined "Brooklyn man wins nearly $1M lawsuit after NYPD cop tried to frame him on DWI charge" might almost seem like a feel-good story. A cop in a marked SUV ran a stop sign and crashed into another car. What did the cop do? Being one of those "few bad apples" we often hear about, he of course arrested the guy for DUI! Alas, he made one critical mistake — the guy he

The subject line, minus the question mark, is the title of a truly remarkable opinion article by Max Boot in the Washington Post. Remarkable, even if you were to believe (which is simply assumed in this column) that Putin was responsible for Russian “meddling” and that those efforts were responsible for Trump’s election, both remarkably dubious assertions. The article compares the pros and cons of

Commentariat Central: Trumps and Tramps Edition

3Sardonicky / 7d

The theme of this week's corporate media Narrative is Liberal Fire and Brimstone. Donald Trump's old tryst with a porn film actress and his subsequent, pre-election attempt to shut her up with hush money have forth whole legions of "woke" Cotton Mathers. If you thought that the #RussiaGate hysteria was overwrought, then you obviously haven't be listening to, watching and reading the manufactured

Jill Abramson's Little Plastic Obama

1Sardonicky / 9d

Former New York Times executive editor and current Guardian columnist Jill Abramson obviously didn't catch Barack Obama's verbal trashing of the poor, elderly and disabled in Chicago earlier this month. But that ignorance is the least of her problems. From her latest opinion piece blathering on about the Democratic Party giving her such renewed hope: It’s easy to look at what’s happening in Washi

Sardonicky / 8d

It's not enough that here in the Northeast we've just experienced two snow bomb cyclones in the space of a week and that thousands of people are still without power and that a third Nor'easter is possible by Tuesday.

from Wrench in the Gears March 18, 2018 I realize this is a very long post and not all that readable. I will try and break it down further in the near future, but for now consider it a work in progress; a way for me to gather a lot of divergent ideas, spheres of influence, and money trails in one place. The graphic above is my attempt to trace what is happening with Out of School Time learning wh

KIPP Co-Founder, Mike Feinberg, Fired for Sexually Abusing Middle Schooler

10Schools Matter / 21d

Always an advocate of a kind of heedless " let the stallions run " mentality for charter school administrators, Michael Feinberg was fired last Thursday for sexually abusing a KIPP student in Houston in the late 1990s, where Feinberg was the principal of the only KIPP school in Houston at the time. The KIPP home office carefully avoided pointing that this was a middle school, grades five through

Dear Democrats, Corporate America Is Not Your Friend

By Krystal Ball published at The Hill : Repeat after me: Corporate America is not your friend. They are not your friend when they stop running ads on a right-wing propaganda show.
