Presumptive Republican president nominee Mitt Romney, commenting on the federal budget plan put forth by Republican Rep. Paul Ryan: “I’m very supportive of the Ryan budget plan. It’s a bold and exciting effort on his part and on the part of the Republicans and it’s very much consistent with what I put out earlier. I [...]

I don’t use the word hate lightly. There are a lot of things that I dislike but I try not to say that I hate them so that when something really bad needs to be condemned in the strongest terms possible, I can say that I hate it and it doesn’t sound trite. So let me [...] I wrote this morning about Scott Walker's latest attack on teachers. This morning Katy Lounsbury was on SLY explaining this in further detail: The rule redefines base wages for public employees as something other than what a teacher makes right now.

More than 3,500 students will be displaced when a network of St. Louis charter schools run by Virginia-based Imagine Schools Inc. closes in what may be the largest shutdown of its kind [...] Recently on the ridiculous Fox News show Hannity, the token Democrat on the show, had his fill of republican ignorance and dropped the “F-Bomb” on live TV. While the right wing is making the take away from this, the fact that someone who skews democratic, swore on national tv(so all democrats are barbaric), [...] As usual, conservatives don’t understand how to analyze data outside of their ideological frame. Take the decline in teen birth rates, for instance. Some voices on the right unconvincingly assign credit for the latest change to abstinence-only sex education, even though the percentage of sexually active teenagers has remained fairly constant.
