Progressivism thrives best when truth is suppressed, but suppressed truth is still truth. You can try to sink it, shred it, cover it and destroy it, but truth eventually rises to the surface. Truth floats. Always. Currently, the various scandals within the Obama administration have put Progressives in defensive mode to protect an ideology built [...]
Independent’s Eye by Joe Gandelman Forget the political “blame game.” The biggest game in town now is the credibility game — a high -stakes exercise that will end with America’s political middle deciding who is trustworthy and who isn’t. Some key players: President Barack Obama: In the case of the Benghazi emails, government snooping on [...]
Exclusive Excerpt from: “Comical Sense: A Lone Humorist Takes on a World Gone Nutty!” by Tom Purcell What to get for the contemporary male who has everything? The Man Bag. The Man Bag is a high-style satchel — a purse, though its creators hate when you call it that. It’s designed to hold the modern [...]

At some point, we need to stop believing in miracles, at least in education. While we’re still getting over the RICO indictments handed down in the Atlanta cheating scandal comes the revelation that the success Michelle Rhee achieved as the “no excuses” superintendent of Washington, D.C.’s public schools was the product of massive cheating.
