Hmm. Sounds a lot like, “From each according to his ability. To each according to his need.”

I just couldn’t resist.

Even better, you could create a link to it in your electronic version.

Obama aides shift their rhetoric on economy. Take up theme of sound fundamentals despite bashing idea in campaign.

WASHINGTON – The economy is fundamentally sound despite the temporary “mess” it’s in, the White House said Sunday in the kind of upbeat assessment that Barack Obama had mocked as a presidential candidate.

Obama’s Democratic allies pleaded for patience with an administration hitting the two-month mark this week, while Republicans said the White House’s plans ignore small business and the immediate need to fix what ails the economy. After weeks projecting a dismal outlook on the economy, administration officials — led by the president himself in recent days — swung their rhetoric toward optimism in what became Wall Street’s best stretch since November.

During the fall campaign, Obama relentlessly criticized his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, for declaring, “The fundamentals of our economy are strong.” Obama’s team painted the veteran senator as out of touch and failing to grasp the challenges facing the country.

Now that Cheney is gone, of course, we’ll get the 911 that we all have coming to us, from the various causes that he set in motion with his treason. The only reason we don’t prosecute is because of executive privilege, war powers, and the Gerald Ford Factor: we have declined to put the country through a demoralizing national trial. (Why put the country through a gauntlet of civics legalese that can only educate them about the different roles of the three separate branches of our government)?

It’s easy to grasp how we govern, and it’s a civic duty to encourage participation in it.

I’m in favor of legistlation to ban future Octomoms if it would have prevented the Jonas Brothers.

What gives? Whenever a conservative leader talks about pay differences for educators instead of one-size-fits-all raises, teachers’ unions say “no,” “no” and, “hell, no.” And whenever a Republican supports charter schools, NEA members start calling politicians enemies of public schools.

Obama should also propose increasing teacher effectiveness by encouraging states to allow schools to hire untraditional teachers, meaning individuals with an expertise and a demonstrable ability to work with students even if they aren’t certified. Hiring private-sector experts in math and science (some of whom have been laid off recently) makes sense.

Sho ’nuff it does! I’d love to see some of our highly educated military (ret.) in the classrooms — middle and high school of course. It’s a tough world out there. Who better to show them?

I didn’t know there were any conservatives in Oregon.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A saga that began in the violent cauldron of California’s 1970s radical counterculture and took a dramatic turn into a quiet middle-class neighborhood in Minnesota is about to come to an end.

Sara Jane Olson, who was a fugitive for a quarter-century after attempting to kill Los Angeles police officers and participating in a deadly bank robbery near Sacramento as a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, is scheduled to be released from a California prison next week.

One bomb, packed with nails, failed to explode as Hall and his partner drove away from a restaurant in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Division on an August night. A similar unexploded device was found under another police car miles away.

“That bomb should have gone off that night,” Hall said. “I would have been just one of many people that would have been dead. It just brings up a lot of anger knowing that she’s going to be released.”

Hall recalls that a girl about 8 years old was watching from the restaurant.

“That little girl was waving at us as we drove off. If that bomb would have gone off, she would have been killed along with her family,” said Hall, who served 31 years with the department. “I haven’t forgiven her (Olson) in the least for what she’s done and what she could have done to many more innocent people.”

Typical mindless libtard. When they have nothing to say, they just sling feces.
