* Circumlocution for non-white, pure and simple.
* $578 million. You’re reading it right. The most expensive school in America to build just opened where the Ambassador Hotel of RFK assassination fame once stood, and it set the LAUSD back more than a half gigabuck.
The AP gets close to some sound logic further down in the article, but still can’t bring itself to state that if you put the same low IQ blacks and Hispanics (mainly Hispanics, this is LA, after all) in an expensive building, you’ll get the same dismal results. If shiny new buildings and no amenity left unbuilt did the trick, then Kansas City would be the best public school district on Earth.
Give a consortium of home-schoolers $578 million, and see the results they would get.
* Ah, for the good old days, when parents of newly minted college freshmen wanted to get away from their children even more so than the other way around. They wanted to hurry home and enjoy their new spa room.
* Shall Inherit: Kendrick Meek is abandoning FL-17 to run for the Senate, though his name is largely unheard over the Rubio-Crist brouhaha. But FL-17 is coming open, and one of the many Democrat candidates in tomorrow’s primary, a Haitian-American, was robbed at gunpoint over the weekend. In passing, the article states that she is one of FOUR Haitian-Americans in that primary for that seat. Meaning the district, which is North Miami up to Hollywood, excluding the beaches in the area, and has a CPVI of D+34, (among the most reliable Democrat ratings), must be becoming nothing more than a suburb of Port-au-Prince.
* It SHOULD have killed you once, and that would have been fair enough. But it needed to have killed you 270 times in order to get fair retribution.
* Again, the evidence that Labour’s immigration treachery, which was typified by Gordon Brown’s “bigoted woman” comment, dearly cost Labour and Brown the election back in May is very solid. However, that’s a straw dog — It might have “cost” Labour, but it only served to send to Number 10 the neo-liberal David Cameron, in coalition with the real liberal Nick Clegg. Not that we’ll ever know, but the BNP almost quadrupled its share in England’s constituencies over five years ago, and from what I saw, many of the biggest gains for the BNP came in safe to moderately safe Labour areas. So while it “cost” Labour the election, it didn’t accrue to the benefit of immigration restriction, for now. But if electoral reform happens, then I can easily see BNP shares in Labour-safe districts going even higher.
