    Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself!

    Erie County NY District Attorney says in TV interview:
    "Finding the two missing elderly ladies would certainly make the case of finding  the missing ladies easier."

    Agreed!

    Teacher Teacher

    I've said it before. This guy ho has failed in other cities as hired at nearly $250K for one purpose, to harass if not break the teacher unions. His current record remains undistinguished to be kind; but he excels at union bashing breaking his own rule of retuning troubled and violent students to the alternate school.

    "In his State of the Schools address, Superintendent Dr. James Williams told the business community he is personally involved in raising standards and helping children move forward.

    Last November 17, at Performing Arts High School on Clinton Street, at least five students jumped another student in a classroom, which led to the injury of a chemistry teacher.

    Now, Dr. Williams is allowing those five students to return to the school.

    Williams said, "I saw the positive things in these young men, and I saw the families coming together to help their children. They made a mistake."

    But, according to a Buffalo Teachers Federation investigation, prior incidents involving some of the students in question include two prior suspensions for weapons possession, and informal suspensions for leaving class and not attending detention.

    BTF president Phil Rumore said, "...that the students should not be returned to that school, and where appropriate, the ones that were severely violent ones should not be in that school; they should be in the alternative school."

    Buffalo parent Tony Marrale said, "It was absolutely wrong. It's setting a terrible example for other students, that they can get away with this, and these kids are allowed back in there. Terrible thing."

    The Party Is Over?

    On a similar issue, when Mr Obama gave his curt reply on Geffen's comments about Ms Clinton did he suddenly forget that he needs the Democratic party, more than they do? Did he show his true colors, "I'm in this for myself. To hell with party?"

    Unless Mr. Obama  realizes that simple support of his party, a party which will support him should he prevail in the premilaries, is basic courtesy, perhaps he should start his own 3rd party.

    Where's The Enforcers?

    If a Republican sneezes two enforcers are dispatched to make the rounds to tell the pres and the world that the sneeze never happened. It was just another consspiracy by the liberal press orchetrated by unpatriotic Democrat.

    If a Democrat sneezes then all candidates and supporters hold press conferences and appear on progressive tal shows debating who will be hurt bythe sneeze, the camaigner or his pre-primilary election rivals.

    The Democrats own the House of Representaties, have a shot at the presidency, and tecnicaly own he Senate but by such a smal margin they may not be able to get anything done.

    Isn't it time the Democrats looked the world in the eye and saw how politics really works in this country?
