This is to inform all of you that a new blog has been set up by some local liberals for the public to express progressive view points and comments to counter the Conservative Republican lies and distortions we are subject to from the VND, Fox Noise, Cable Television, Right Wing Hate Radio (104.7 FM and even KDKA Radio) and the Main Stream Media in general.

It is a chance for liberals and progressives to voice their opinions on political matters whether they are national, state, or local...and that includes local communities and all school boards.

IQ test for Congress

I believe real unemployment is 20 percent or more. The national debt is over $14 trillion and spiraling upward. Programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are heading toward insolvency. Given these circumstances, I would think our leaders in the U.S. Congress would focus all of their efforts on resolving these major issues.

Instead, Democrat members of Congress like Maxine Waters, John Kerry, Jesse Jackson Jr., Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein and Andre Carson spend their time attacking the tea party and Fox News. Why, rather than solving America's problems, do they spew vile insults, fuel class warfare and make incendiary accusations of racism?

The answer is that they spent the last six years implementing failed policies and realize that they have no accomplishments to offer in the 2012 election. The only cards they have left to play is to avoid the issues and focus on smearing their opponents. This is a despicable tactic at any time, but especially now, when so many Americans are being hurt by the prolonged poor economy.

The recent asinine statements from the aforementioned Congress members make a good case for instituting some type of IQ test to qualify candidates for Congress.

Kind of a shame we have such greedy teachers in this district. Teachers who don't care about the community or even their peers...WAIT!

Oh, that's right. nearly half of them live in other districts and pay lower taxes, so they're keeping even more of Highland Taxpayer's Money!


Greedy bastards!


School superintendent gives up $800k in pay

Source: Yahoo/AP

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Some people give back to their community. Then there's Fresno County
School Superintendent Larry Powell, who's really giving back. As in $800,000 — what would
have been his compensation for the next three years.

Until his term expires in 2015, Powell will run 325 schools and 35 school districts with
195,000 students, all for less than a starting California teacher earns.

"How much do we need to keep accumulating?" asks Powell, 63. "There's no reason for me to
keep stockpiling money."

Powell's generosity is more than just a gesture in a region with some of the nation's
highest rates of unemployment. As he prepares for retirement, he wants to ensure that his
pet projects survive California budget cuts. And the man who started his career as a high
school civics teacher, who has made anti-bullying his mission, hopes his act of generosity
will help restore faith in the government he once taught students to respect.
