Another School Choice Trifecta: Jared Polis, Bill Cosby, Ben DeGrow… Swish!

by Eddie | 2:01 pm, January 27, 2012

Since yesterday’s school choice trifecta was so successful, why not another one to help bring a smashing conclusion to National School Choice Week? We’re in the heart of basketball season — it’s not March Madness time yet — but still “trifecta” gets me thinking about making that long-range jumper for student-centered education reform:

Yesterday, Colorado’s U.S. [...]

Judge Rules Americans Can Be Forced to Testify Against Themselves

In order to protect our rights, our security must be protected. In order to protect our security, our rights must be invaded. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

Constitutional Authority House Rule XII Largely Ignored

by Bob Adelmann | 6:02 am, January 20, 2012

Perhaps I’m getting cynical in my old age but this was worthless from the start. How ridiculous even to think that limits would be honored when they are written by the very people who intended to ignore them.

by Bob Adelmann | 12:52 pm, December 30, 2011

Senator Tom Coburn sports a very weak conservative rating, having voted for some of these wasteful measures and then criticizing them in his “wastebook.” Isn’t that the definition of hypocrite? Well, yes.

by Bob Adelmann | 5:52 am, December 30, 2011
