Turns out Fairfax County’s teachers aren’t getting the 1% cost of living increase that had been in the works, because now that money is going to cover the increased costs to the school system of all the illegal immigrants who have recently migrated to Fairfax from Prince William. That’s according to the superintendent. What we need in Fairfax is someone like Corey Stuart who can deal with the problem head on, instead of fearfully skirting the issue, trying not to offend anyone or appear racist. Read More

After graduating from JMU last week I decided to forgo a beach trip and spend a week at the Leadership Institute learning the fundamentals of how to run a campaign and get the latest info on how to be an effective internet activist.  Here is a brief overview of the two courses.

 Campaign Manager School

I left the course with a binder that could be filled with the equivalent of a semester long class, five free books, and a DVD player!  I entered the class having run a campaign, but wondering how to connect all aspects of such a large operation together.  I left having learned how to write a campaign and a finance plan, create a campaign structure, fundraise, run an effective GOTV drive, maximize media potential, and deal with consultants.    Read more »

Ponder this.  You’re graduating from James Madison U. and your commencement speaker (Tom Dingledine) tells you to hold hands and close your eyes as new age music is cued.  Quick, you have two seconds to decide what to do?

• 1) Grab the hand next to you because she is a hottie
• 2) Start the wave
• 3) Begin to converse with those next to about your Barney-esque robes
• 4) Start laughing hysterically

John McCain got it right on health care today, outlining a health care reform plan in today’s NRO that correctly addresses the problems of the health insurance industry and prescribes precisely the right remedy: market competition and family control.  McCain wisely rebukes the government-run monopolies of Hillary- and Obama-Care as well as the government-created monopolies of plans that force people to buy insurance.  Instead, McCain offers a combination of Health Savings Accounts for paying premiums, tax credits that enable people to buy their own personal policy, and a Guaranteed Access Plan that would smooth the regulatory landscape of the interstate health insurance market.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, he’s back.  Yes that’s right, as I’m sure everyone knows, our good friend the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is back and better than ever.  Belting out such classics as ‘the government gave AIDS to blacks’ and ‘we deserved 9/11,’ Wright made the rounds on Sunday and Monday, sitting down for an interview with PBS’s Bill Moyers and then getting down at the National Press Club, where he introduced new hits like ‘Farrakhan’s my friend’ and ‘Obama’s just a politician.’  Read more »
