Like I mentioned yesterday, I will be watching President Obama’s speech to America’s school children with my children later today. We have little ones around here, so we’ll be using the elementary lesson plans, legal or not. Actually, we’ll be focusing specifically on this question, because it fits perfectly with some ongoing conversations we have [...]
Update: The text of the speech is now available. Is he seriously going to say “God bless you. God bless America” to every student in America?

There is a rather popular idiom common to Western nations, but peculiarly prevalent in American politics which summarizes [...]
January 17, 2008, 23 month old Cyrus Belt was thrown to his death off a pedestrian bridge in Hawaii. This ended a short life apparently characterized by abuse.
Cyrus was just one day old when his first child welfare file was opened. Just six days before his death another threat of abuse and neglect complaint [...]
Perusing blogs today, I could not help but note a touch of despair. Shanan Trail is switching parties. Consent of the Governed depicts a suicidal Republican Party.
