The ed-heads over at the Nevada State Board of Education are conspiring to commit a crime tomorrow night. Well, it’s not officially a crime. But it ought to be. They’ve ordered a “hit” on the state’s charter schools. And the trigger-man is, believe it or not, the chair(wo)man of the state’s Sub-committee […]

I remember fondly a bumper sticker from a few years ago which read, “The Constitution is the Contract with America.” And as we approach this year’s Bill of Rights Day, there are actually some hopeful signs that America’s contract is making a comeback.

Reports this weekend say there’s been a sharp rise in the number of people diagnosed for depression, but the reason for this is “unknown.” I think I know.
