guess what Milton Friedman called the ideology he was pushing

They are non-profit here too. But that actually doesn’t cut down on shenanigans as much as you would think. Many charters turn around and hire out most or all of school management to for-profit companies. They also pay their directors massive salaries. They also receive loans from lenders who receive massive federal…

Only those so completely uninterested in reality would suggest that. Im guessing you also want your country back, think those thugs should stop shooting each other, and maybe we should start a ground war with Iran.

Two of them, in fact. Turns out that’s not quite enough motivation for me to get behind turning our schools over to Deion Sanders just yet.

For McQueary's follow-up piece this week, she's going to write how Chicago's 400+ murders per year is really a blessing in disguise, helping an already taxed SNAP Program (food stamps) in Illinois. Always with the silver linings, this one!

Unfortunately, most climate scientists predict that these metaphors will only get stronger.

Moved to Chicago in February 2014 and signed up fro the Tribune because it was cheap and hey, why not? It is important to keep up on local happenings.

Mid-February 2014: called and canceled the Tribune because of garbage like this.

I really like how in the backtracking, she proposes that you can have a natural disaster without that whole disaster part. Like a cleansing fire that doesn’t have flames ‘n’ shit.

Is she applying to the 2016 GOP platform committee?

“Hurricane Sandy was great for increasing my national exposure enough to run a presidential campaign when none of my constituents would actually vote for me.”

It was only black people and poors who died in New Orleans by Katrina so of course she doesn’t care or get it.

“Here’s the deal: J.J. Watt is a limp John Cena impersonator”

“I’m totally excited for this new album.”

my favorite part was either the time you said no one can speak for the dead or the three times you told us what Kurt Cobain would have wanted

Chargers and Raiders aren’t going anywhere. The only team coming to LA is the Rams. San Diego is gonna pony up more of the cash for a stadium, and Oakland is calling the Raiders bluff. In the meeting yesterday, the Rams owner basically said he doesn’t care how much money St. Louis is going to give him, he’s moving to…

Your first post was complaining that the OP didn’t provide analysis. When somebody else does, you get mad. Sounds like you have a personal problem. Can’t make up your mind on what you want!

MBD - I know that name-calling is unintelligent, immature, and does nothing to elevate the discourse but I did not want to miss this opportunity to call you a twat.

Okay, saying “television is show business. Even broadcast news” elides not only political difference, but also different business models. It’s a shallow and trite observation that seems pasted together from buzzwordy tropes the author has subconsciously semi-digested — or possibly lifted from a TED talk of the worst…

This reminds me of that episode of Party Down when they cater a College Republicans event.

If The Daily Show had any effect on our actual political culture, it was probably to the benefit of conservatives. In its absence, many young liberals might have confronted the George W. Bush years and engaged in actual political projects, like the campus left of the 1960s.
