1. What the ...????!!!! Indiana School sex scandal. This is not your ordinary school sex story--it invovles sixth graders, voyeurs, one distracted teacher and a cover up of massive proportions. Hat Tip: The Ed Wonks.
2. If there were any doubts that the group of poeple teachers' unions are most concerened about are the teachers themselves, this story should prove it. Unions have a responsibility to their members, that is fine, but I don't want to hear any langauge coming from a union that they care about the kids in the schools. When push comes to shove with teh unions, the kids lose out--all rhetoric to the contrary.
3. Well, duh! Hillary Clinton reaching out to women. Given that statistically most voters are women, that is a no brainer. But it still doesn't solve the problem that a lot of women, even Democrats don't like her.
4. Paul Krugman does a hatchet job on the Administration regarding the Walter Reed mess, comparing it to FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina. I plan a little fisking of Krugman sometime later, but here are my comments regarding the Bipartisan Commission President Bush is assembling.
5. I worry about the impact of the 2008 presidential race on politics in general. I think there is far too much mudslinging and horse race coverage right now. Thomas Sowell agrees and Cal Thomas notes that at the very least Newt Gingrich is trying to make politics about ideas, not slogans.
