Terry Bergeson Has To Go - Do The Math

At the Thursday July 10th 36th Disctrict Democrat endorsement meeting, some people spoke in favor of Terry Bergeson. I thought they had good points, but, I still think Terry has to go.

In brief, the Math Fiasco this state's kids are suffering through is the result of flawed teaching philosophy turned ideology, where philosophical differences are attacked with an ideological zest by those defending their ideology.

Ms. Bergeson has been most effective at keeping herself employed despite this Math Fiasco, keeping employed those who've helped her create this Math Fiasco, and at keeping blame for the Math Fiasco on those math teachers with philosophical differences.

Update [2008-9-2 2:43:1 by rmdSeaBos]: I've done some editing of wording. Labor Day, 2008.

Good 'ol Joe -

We can count on Joe to pull an Adam Nagourney and do some white house stenography when it comes to trashing Democrats who don't toe the line on his DLC Lite world view.

Operation Phonebook for Patty Cant!

Last night, pretty fried from a very busy weekend and a very busy first day of semester,

I was having a bowl of Pho and trying not to fall asleep into the steaming basil & chili garlic paste enhanced broth.

I was reading the Times about our recently departed treasure Molly Ivins, and I thought

THAT was one hell of a Patriot / great person / great chick.

I got home to read on kos about the latest thuggery over the FAKE NON-F$$$ING-BINDING 'RESOLUTION'

Countdown to Change - WA?

[editor's note, by Arthur Ruger]: Excellent idea. Anybody have time to contribute?

"Three Rhode Island Blogs Launch "Countdown to Change" to
Monitor the First 100 Hours of the New Congress"

http://www.mydd.com/story/2006/12/29/141256/58

"In an unprecedented act of web-based collaboration, three of Rhode Island's most popular Blogs, RIFuture.org, Kmareka.com, and Pat-Crowley.org, announce that they will provide collective coverage of the first 100 hours of the new Democratic Congress to provide Rhode Islanders with immediate and comprehensive access to the actions of Rhode Island's four Democratic Congressmen and the new Democratic Congress.  

During the fall campaign, Democratic leaders promised to make substantial changes during the first 100 hours of the 110th Congress in 7 key areas: Lobbying reform and fiscal accountability; Increasing the Minimum Wage; Making college more affordable; Making health care more affordable by passing legislation to negotiate lower prescription drug prices; Allowing stem cell research; Implementing the 9/11 recommendations and Rolling back subsidies to the big oil companies.  

The three Bloggers have agreed to work together to discover if Congress will enact the changes that will put America on a better course for working families, the elderly, college students, and healthcare consumers."
