I've Been Nominated for Education Blogger of the Year---Thank You Huffington Post!

Dan Brown | Posted May 13, 2008 | Media


I started writing for the Huffington Post in March of last year, in advance of the release of my rookie-teacher-in-the-Bronx memoir, The Great Expectations School. Since then it's been my great pleasure to help to stir the pot about issues affecting students, teachers, and families in America. And hey, now...

"We're going to give you the change you deserve"
House Minority Leader John Boehner

That's not a threat; it's a promise -- from the Republican congressional leaders. Really. Led by perpetually tanned House leader John Boehner, Republicans have suddenly discovered that the country wants change - and they have...

Cliff Schecter | Posted May 13, 2008 | Politics


A new website (firethelobbyists.com) has been created by the pro-campaign finance reform organization Campaign Money Watch, to convince Senator McCain to fire three lobbyists in the top levels of his organization that have lobbied for ruthless dictators. You may recall that over the past two days, two...

Bob Herbert in the NYT today:

"The landscape is changing before our eyes. Younger voters struggling with the enormous costs of a college education, or trying to raise families in a bleak employment environment, or using their credit cards to cover everyday expenses like food or energy costs...

Myanmar (and China) Need the Odd Couple

Carol Felsenthal | Posted May 13, 2008 | Politics


When the tsunami hit parts of Asia and Africa in December 2004, President George W. Bush asked his predecessors, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, to travel to the stricken region and bring relief and hope to the victims.

The tsunami, a giant tidal wave in the Indian Ocean,...

It was in the middle of rush hour traffic in Los Angeles today that I had an insight. I saw a guy signal in the right lane and I saw a guy in the left lane slow down to let the other guy in. I was floored. Discombobulated. I had...

Have A Great Day! (18 Veterans Will Kill Themselves Today)

James Boyce | Posted May 13, 2008 | Politics


It's Tuesday May 13, 2008 and on this day in history, The Beatles debuted the movie Let It Be in 1970 and back in 1943 German and Italian forces surrendered in Africa but that's nothing compared to what we have for you today.

Right now, it's 7:30 am here in...

Does Success Breed Failure? The Rule of Government Neglect

Jeff Madrick | Posted May 13, 2008 | Business


I keep beating this horse, but the current economic situation continues to need serious government attention. Increasingly, we are told the worst is over. If that's true, thank fiscal policy and the alert and intelligent Ben Bernanke for acting quickly.

But the worst may not be over. House prices...

McCain and the Courts

Dylan Loewe | Posted May 13, 2008 | Politics


Last Tuesday John McCain gave a public address about the kind of Supreme Court justices he would nominate if elected. The speech, given in North Carolina, was a failed attempt to grab at least a few headlines while all eyes were turned to the all important May 6th primaries. But...

Opinion: "A Belief Or Judgment That Rests On Grounds Insufficient To Produce Complete Certainty"

This is my opinion.

Poll: States, Not Feds, Should Take Lead on Health Care

Read More: Health Care

There has been a long running debate among progressives about what arena is the best to push health care reform. Should the solution come from states or from the federal government? Some in Washington, D.C. have said that states should simply wait for the Wise Elders of the Beltway...

McCain Still Failing To Close With GOP Voters

Peter Dreier | Posted May 13, 2008 | Off The Bus


"McCain Can't Close the Deal." If the mainstream media were truly being evenhanded, that's the headline that would appear in newspapers and news magazines around the country. Why? Because even after he became the presumptive Republican presidential candidate on March 4 -- when Ohio, Texas, Vermont, and Rhode Island held...
