Some people may be confused as to why public employee unions have illegally occupied the statehouse, filed false sick leave requests, and freaked out about actually having to pay for a small portion of their retirement.
Well, a report showing that 2/3rds of Wisconsin 8th graders are not proficient at reading provides at least a partial explanation.
I was mad at the teachers for abandoning the students by staging sick-outs so they could protest, but I know see that they were allowing the kids to self educate.
They will likely fare better playing video games or burgling the neighbor's house than they would sitting in classes run by a failed, union run system.
The most telling statistic is that the state basically doubled the per student spending from 1998 to 2008 yet no improvement in test scores was seen.

The secret of my CIA success
How to get ahead by doing all the wrong things may be the title of some memoirs when current CIA employees retire.
According to an MSNBC story, the CIA has not only failed to punish employees for making huge mistakes, they have promoted some of them to plumb positions within the bureaucracy.
The CIA needs to have someone from the outside who understands our real world needs where security is concerned come in and clean house.
There has been something wrong inside the CIA for decades and it hasn't gone away just because Obama is in office.

Blinding hypocrisy from the Enviros
Most of us have figured out that there is a double standard when it comes to the kind of treatment a President gets from Environmental activists.
Of those still on the fence, the treatment Obama has been receiving should be the final straw.
Instead of calling him out on his horribly inept response to the ongoing tragedy, they are actually taking out full page ads thanking him for shutting down Alaskan oil exploration and lauding his efforts to make things better after the bureaucrats screwed up (Not his fault. He was busy with Health Care and Wall Street).
I wonder if they now have a fuller appreciation of what it is to be a prostitute now that they have been bought and bent over by Obama.
They can't afford to attack him for his very real failures, but if they continue to fail to stand up to him, many of the faithful will see them as traitors and support will suffer.
