>> And you blame that on the economy? Not fully, but at least in significant part. But it is time for everyone to understand that the jobs that are lost are not coming back. They are lost largely because of technological innovation, and our failed education system is not doing its job, which is to prepare people for these changes. It is a tragedy that is a direct result of teacher's unions and federal government's involvement in education, which has resulted in ever-increasing costs to deliver poorer educations. One of the next industries to fall, IMO, will be the current university system. And that has great potential to become a boon to education. Everyone will be able to get an Ivy-league education at reasonable cost, and the university system as we know it will crumble quickly. Just as Amazon killed bookstores, iTunes killed the Cd industry, the newspaper industry has collapsed, so, too, will the university system. The trillion dollars in student loans will be lost, as well. I can't wait. Instead of unionized, tenured teachers we'll have quality educators who are compensated based on merit, with services offered at reasonable cost to students who want to learn.

Rep. Peter King: National Security Leaks Came From the White House

by America's News HQ
foxnewsinsider.com

Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Peter King (R-NY), sat down with Jamie Colby today on America’s News HQ to discuss the investigation into the leaks on counter-terrorism programs. Congressman King said, “This is the most shameful cascade of leaks I’ve ever heard or seen in government. We’re not talking about an incidental leak coming out … We’re talking about leaks involving two of the most sensitive programs in the United States government.”

He said it’s “clear” from those stories published in The New York Times that the information “came from the White House, came right from the National Security Council, came right from the Situation Room.” Rep. King continued, “For the president to say he’s outraged by this … how come he said nothing about it until a few of us, including John McCain, stood up and took him to task for it.”

The congressman pointed out that the intelligence released in the leaks is so sensitive that Attorney General Eric Holder can’t even say what the Department of Justice is investigating. He said President Obama is trying to look like John Wayne and said there’s no need to put American lives at risk in order to build up the president’s image for the election.

Cher: Eww, check out all the white people behind Mitt Romney Posted at 7:43 am on June 11, 2012 by Twitchy Staff \| View Comments Cher ? @cher [iframe class="twt-follow-button" allowtransparency="true" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button.html?align=right&button=grey&screen_name=cher&show_count=false&show_screen_name=false&lang=en" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"][/iframe] When mitt gives stump speech Look Behind Him!White People!

That photo was taken at the Obama 2012 campaign headquarters in Chicago. Funny, Cher didn’t weigh in on the unbearable whiteness of being Obama’s reelection team. Cher sees white people … but only when they’re standing behind Mitt Romney, renowned puppet of the “ Right Wing Racist Homophobic Women Hating Tea Baggers.” Obama, of course, can do no wrong. Cher has been gushing on Twitter since she met him in California last week.

If the men aren’t sashaying flamboyantly while lisping the words to show tunes, they must be heterosexist breeders, right? Or does her diversity cop uniform come with with a gaydar gun?
