This won’t be long and drawn out. Simply put, Michael Bloomberg should make politicians decide: Feel the wrath of Trump or feel the wrath of Bloomberg.

Every time one of this scumbags like Ron Johnson starts pulling non-sense, he should create an ad that slams the offender with the truth. Make them pay for their lies by having all the voters in their region see an honest accounting. Bloody them up. It would help the nominee and give Bloomberg something useful to focus upon.

Okay, I have had enough. I have had to put up with teacher-focused propagandists slamming charter schools. It was one thing when a self-interested teacher writes diaries that are skewed by his pro-union perspective, but now DailyKos has formalized its anti-reform stance.

As you try to stay true to your New Year's resolution, take a moment to consider what four young people have begun. In an effort to draw attention to the DREAM Act, they are first walking from Miami, Fla., to Washington, D.C., a journey that will take four months. And then they are beginning a hunger strike, according to Felipe Vargas, a former University of Indiana professor who has been asked to escort them on their journey.

I have a Republican friend, who despite my refusal to needle him over Dubya in the last eight years, absolutely MUST throw some kind of Obama dig at me in every email.

Today was some kind of blame of the market dipping below 7,000 on my beloved president who has been in charge for 44 days now. My response to him after the jump:

I would like to pinpoint the objections that educators (and others in the know!) have with the statistical results of the No Child Left Behind testing of the last administration.

I recognize that the testing sets forth objectives, but gives the schools no resources to meet them. I recognize that the constant testing and its pressures and preparations might well undercut the very mission of educating our nation's children. I fully understand that a school is not solely responsible for a child's education or progress.

I could understand a push for the elimination of such testing.

Dear Keith Olbermann,

As you consider your Worst Person In The World tonight, please think of Liz Compton, the principal at High Hills Elementary School in Sumter, S.C., who is trying to bar a black student from wearing a Barack Obama t-shirt to school.

Back in a former life, I worked for a major league baseball team and after I left that job, I would get called to serve as a statistician for NBC Sports when the Game of the Week came to town.

So it would be Bob Costas, Tony Kubek, the sound guy and I in the booth. And I would chart whatever I thought was interesting unless Bob and Tony wanted me to keep an eye out for something specific. This was back in the days before anyone outside of the dugout was counting pitches, so it was easy to impress the viewing audience with inane graphics.

Usually about a four- or five-hour commitment, it paid well and I loved doing it. And I had one particularly memorable moment that resulted in Kubek and I laughing our asses off for an entire half inning as Costas -- who unknowingly had made an on-air faux pas -- looked at us like we were insane.

Some Kossacks have been critical and 'annoyed' by Newark Mayor Cory Booker, but when he received the John F. Kennedy New Frontier Award on the campus of Harvard University yesterday, he talked about the images his parents had ingrained in him.

Cary and Carolyn Booker -- civil rights activists and volunteers for the Urban League -- were among the first African-American executives at IBM. Raising Cory and his brother Cary in Harrington Park, N.J., the Bookers filled the house with inspirational tributes to "great men and women," including a bust of President Kennedy that sat within sight of the dining table.

"I would be sitting there eating my eggs in the morning, looking up, and seeing John F. Kennedy for the first 18 years of my life," he said.

After reading the interview conducted by Nate Silver with John Ziegler, the slimebag trying to use racially-slanted anecdotal interviews combined with misleading push polls intended to paint Obama voters as ignorant, I decided to slap back with some facts.

The truth is that Republicans have courted those in the poorest, least healthy and least educated states for decades, convincing them to vote against their self interests and their futures.

John McCain -- on promises to reward the rich, ignore notions of universal health care and do nothing on education -- did exceptionally well in the states which would least benefit from his election.

I know that a lot of Kossacks did a lot to aid in the cause of getting Barack Obama elected. And I appreciate that millions of people across the country donated money, in many cases, money they could not really afford (especially in retrospect).

But I am at a bit of a loss to understand the inauguration ticket process.

My brief story after the jump...

First used in reference to an infamous political figure, radio talk show host Cathy Hughes brought the phrase to the airwaves when she, as quoted in The Washington Post, said, "If Marion Barry disrespects us, we will cry out. We will not blindly drink the Kool-Aid any longer."

It was 1987 and that was how the trivialization of a tragedy began.
