‘Madness Abounds’ as Fake Candidates Confuse Wisconsin Recalls - Bloomberg
Wisconsin Democrats, upset by fiscal sanity and common sense legislation that will benefit all Wisconsin have launched a recall campaign against six Republican legislators who sided with Governor Scott Walker on much needed collective bargaining legislation.
Wisconsin voters will choose among real and fake Democrats this week to challenge six Republican senators in recall elections that may derail the agenda of Governor Scott Walker.
State election law allows open primaries, which means that voters can participate regardless of partisan affiliation. It also allows members of one party to enter another’s primary with “fake candidacies.”
“There’s nothing illegal about it,”
If any recalls succeed, that will encourage more, said, Mike McCabe, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a nonprofit that advocates openness in government,including one that has been started against Walker, who cannot be ousted until he has been in office a year.
Wisconsin could more or less have a permanent election season continuing through 2012, It almost becomes a foregone conclusion about recalling the governor.
I commend Governor Walker for his common-sense proposal. The results are in, the elimination of Collective Bargaining is the best thing we can do for school kids.
* Taxpayers are better off.
* School kids are better off
* Class sizes are down
* Struggling school districts now have a budget surplus
Teachers' unions did not want this of course. Why? Because they are bold faced liars that's why. There is not a damn thing unions do for kids. Every action by public unions is for public unions and no one else.

Omaha Public School District buys 8,000 diversity manuals with stimulus money.
Omaha Public School District buys 8,000 diversity manuals with stimulus money.
Your stimulus money at work. The Omaha Public Schools have spent $130,000 in federal stimulus money to buy 8,000 copies of the book, one for every OPS employee, from principals to teachers to custodial staff.
The book is sort of a combination of Freud meets Marx, and does more to stifle conversation and open-mindedness than it does to inspire it. In fact it is an unabashed attempt to force a the PC mindset of the Federal Govt down our throats.
One paragraph will point out the absurdity of this clunker;
The authors assert that American government and institutions create advantages that “channel wealth and power to white people,” that color-blindness will not end racism and that educators should “take action for social justice.”
The Omaha school board approved buying 8,000 copies of the book — one for every employee, including members of the custodial staff — in April. The decision to buy the book was made 11-0, with board member Mary Ellen Drickey passing on the vote.

One paragraph will point out the absurdity of this clunker;
Table 2.4 on page 25 highlights the unhealthy and healthy perspectives associated with the left and the right of the cultural proficiency continuum. Displayed is the fundamental shift in perspective, between the left and right sides of the continuum that comes about when adopting the principles of cultural proficiency as core beliefs and the use of essential elements as standards of action. In addition, disequilibrium arises due to the struggle to disengage with past actions associated with unhealthy perspectives tied to the barriers and a subsequent move toward a healthy perspective connected to the Guiding Principles.

The Dept of Selective Justice Launches Witch Hunt Against Alleged Racist Banks
Investers Business Daily
The gangster government is forever finding new ways to subvert the system for their own greedy needs. While we are still reeling from a housing crash, record foreclosures, and millions of people who are under water on the purchase of their homes, ponder an uncertain future. You may have thought the people that helped cause the first crash would at least have the decency to steal away under the darkness of the media blackout about the real causes of the crash and keep their mouths shut, nope they are lining up for more.
Under a broad definition of racism the Dept of Selective Justice is going after (smaller) banks and threatening charges of racism, because they are not lending to minorities. Of course the banks whose balance sheets are still holding terrible losses aren't lending to Whites, Hispanics, or any one else for that matter. But the Justice Department has come up with theory — “disparate impact” — that holds that merely a difference in loan application outcomes is enough to prove racial discrimination.
Prosecutions have already generated more than $20 million in loan set-asides and other subsidies from banks that have settled out of court rather than battle the federal government and risk being branded racist. An additional 60 banks are under investigation, a DOJ spokeswoman says.
As part of settlement deals, prosecutors have required banks to sign “nondisclosure agreements” barring them from talking about the methods used to allege discrimination. Bank lawyers contend the prosecutors are trying to hide the shaky legal grounds on which the cases are built. Under this broad theory, banks have been accused of racism simply for failing to open branches or aggressively market mortgages in black neighborhoods — regardless of the demand for, or viability

Welcome to the Summer of Recovery Part II
Obama's economic policies are an unmitigated disaster. Despite the alleged "improvement" in jobs, TrimTabs describes the economy as a "Hamster Wheel Economy" -- the hamster runs faster and faster in its wheel but goes nowhere.
Given this administration distortions of reality in giving us accurate unemployment figures, it's impossible to even have a
discussion about the true proportions of people who are unemployed, underemployed, or have just given up hope and stopped looking. I would assume the true number is closer 16-17 %, and while the administration tries to claim that the unemployment rate is little better than it was a year ago. It would actually be worse than a year ago were it not for people dropping out of the labor force.
Last month the labor force rose by 272,000. This month the labor force fell by 272,000. How's that for symmetry?
The 6-month labor force total for 2011 is +4,000.
This is Recovery ?
In a 2-year old recovery, the labor force should be rising sharply as those who stopped looking for jobs, once again started looking. Instead, the labor force is not expanding at all.
Were it not for people dropping out of the labor force for the past two years, the unemployment rate would be well over 11%.
