YOU CAN’T SPIN THESE NUMBERS ON JOBS….LUCIA MUTIKANI

http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/09/07/us-jobs-growth-slow-in-august/?icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl14%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D202620 WASHINGTON — U.S. jobs growth slowed more than expected in August, setting the stage for the Federal Reserve to pump additional money into the sluggish economy next week and dealing a blow to President Obama as he seeks reelection in November.

DANIEL GREENFIELD: UNIVERSAL EDUCATION?

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

Education was the defining paradigm of the 20th Century model of social progress, particularly the scientific education distributed through cells and classes where trained educators teach from prepared texts imparting the same knowledge to every students through the same methods.
Our educational system is nothing if not extensive. We, collectively and individually, spend fortunes on it. The average cost of a four year degree is approaching 100,000 dollars and that isn’t counting textbooks (1,100 per year) and the astronomical rates of interest on student loans. Total student loan debt has doubled in the last seven years and is approaching 300 billion dollars. The average student under 30 owes around 20,000 dollars as education has become the new mortgage.

WOMEN UNITED A PAC AGAINST OBAMA…PLEASE READ

Who We Are
http://womenunitedpac.com/

Women United PAC speaks plainly: the Obama administration and the Democrat Party are waging war against women who care about the future of our country. They are hoping to distract women from the big issues, to focus on so-called “women’s issues,” thereby reducing women to mindless, sexual, reproductive vessels. This is not feminism; it is contempt.

We don’t buy it. We won’t have it. And we are tired of it.

Women United PAC knows that the devastating effects of Obamacare, the shrinking economy, the refusal to develop America’s energy resources, the overwhelming number of new regulations and penalties, the number of unemployed and underemployed, the uncertainty of small businesses, and the centralization of authority in Washington all represent a threat to our country’s future.

We know that women continue to serve our country proudly, having raised generations of good citizens and great Americans. Women have fought with paper and pen, waged campaigns, and organized civic institutions. Women have spoken up and demanded justice, our freedom, our right to vote, our jobs, our education and our equality, and are not about to permit the discussion about our country’s future decline into a discussion about paying for an individual’s contraception.

http://spme.net/articles/8859/3/Review-of-The-State-of-the-Jews-A-Critical-Appraisal.html Since anti-Zionism, which has taken on the characteristics of anti-Semitism, has become increasingly acceptable as an expression of “genuine” criticism of Israel within academic circles, even Jewish professors, Edward Alexander’s latest book, The State of the Jews: A Critical Appraisal, is both relevant and timely. In his previous book, The Jewish Divide over Israel […]

JUDITH MILLER: ALARMING WARNING FOR JEWISH HOLIDAYS FROM NYPD

http://www.city-journal.org/2012/eon0907jm.html There was good news and not such good news from the New York Police Department Wednesday at its annual “High Holy Days briefing” before Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, held at 1 Police Plaza, the department’s headquarters near the Brooklyn Bridge.

SOL SANDERS: NOSTALGIA FOR THE DAYS WHEN CONVENTIONS WERE BLOOD SPORTS INSTEAD OF SPECTATOR ZOOS

Alas! Conventional conventions! Call me masochistic, but I watched both conventions. Chalk it up to nostalgia for a mistaken teenage as a politics junkie. Then, we bet whether “Roll Call of the States” might trip up FDR’s dumping his popular leftwing populist vice president Henry Wallace for Harry Truman. Or the rush felt when a […]
