NCLB goes viral
241 teachers have just been fired by The District of Columbia public school system.

I don't understand how you can hold accountable an American Literature teacher whose students can't read. - This is just the beginning of a failed education policy going viral.

Al Gore Accusation: Investigation of Sexual Assault Cases
Rape, next to cold-blooded murder, is the most heinous of crimes. It is a vicious, brutal attack on women that leaves irreparable psychological scars long after the devastating experience. And, unfortunately, it is one of the most common crimes committed today, possibly numbering more than the offense of robbery.

Obama's Illegal Alien Financial Bonanza
Last week, the US Senate approved the most far-reaching expansion of Wall Street regulations and the financial industry since the Great Depression. Part of that expansion of government power is President Barack Obama naming three nominees to the board of the Federal Reserve Bank as it prepares to handle its vastly expanded duties "to ensure financial stability and oversee financial institutions."

The Belgian and Czechoslovak issues are very similar, while the Quebec issue is not
Belgium was founded in 1831 by the fusing of two dissimilar ethnic groups in a given area. Czechoslovakia, was founded after the Great War ended in October 1918 by the fusion of areas where Czechs and Slovaks lived in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Quebec came out of the history of the defeat of France in North America on September 8, 1760

Dog Days of Summer
If "hot" means "cool", the dog days of summer aren't so hot. Temperature-wise they are really hot. That's why they are called "dog days." What hot has to do with dogs, I'm not sure; unless you are talking about a frankfurter. Maybe it has something to do with the way a dog looks when it's hot.
