A Political Dynamo: Cheri DiNovo

Every couple of years, we have seen both good and bad politicians enter public office. Most would claim to be miracle workers who strive to enhance the quality of life of their voters. But the real tests comes on how well they keep their promises and how they effectively manage political issues when they’ve won […]

Adrian Fenty; How His Losing Campaign May Help Others

Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines arrogance as “an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions.” This is one of the terms that were used to describe why Adrian Fenty was not re-elected as mayor of the nation’s capitol.

President Obama Complaining “They Talk About Me Like a Dog”

In a speech on 9/6/2010 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin it was painful to see President Obama go off the prepared remarks on the teleprompter complaining about how “They talk about me like a dog.” I wrote an article 8/31/2010, President Obama Does “Wag the Dog” in a Deflation Economy.

Dozens of others had walked this seemingly endless journey; however, none made such an impact as the young man who would be elected 44th President of the United States. The […]

Made Dumb in the USA

This country has a bizarre and unprecedented problem. “The longer American children are in school, the worse they perform compared to their international peers,” according to McKinsey and Company, management consultants. Columnists at the New York Times have realized that the education crisis is grave. Tom Friedman said we’re falling off a cliff. Paul Krugman […]

Two or three years ago, if I tried to tell people that the problems in the public schools should be blamed on the bosses at the top, that is, the Education Establishment, I didn’t get too far. People would object, what about the unconcerned parents? The lazy kids? The unions? What about rock ‘n roll, […]
