"Compassionate politicians"? From a piece at Coyote:
I hate it when politicians are called "caring" or "compassionate" when the sole evidence for this is the fact that they take my money and give it to someone else or build something with it that they can put their name on.
Ditto, Coyote.

Will this be a trend to abandon AP courses, as Scarsdale is considering? Not a bad idea. Another useful idea would be to return High School to 3 years the way it used to be.

The slow death of the UN. We agree with Tangled Web:
The UN is a corrupt sewer, it is incapable of ANY moral leadership, it is institutionally pro-terror, it is anti-Semitic to the core, it is rabidly anti-American, and the election of Mr. Moon will hopefully bring about its total eclipse.
We need a forum for democratic nations - for those who uphold pluralist values - and the UN has moved SO FAR away from its original mission that it really is time to drive a stake through its rancid heart. The anglosphere nations should leave it and stop bankrolling this most hateful of organisations. History will record the UN as being even worse than the League of Nations.
