There was an article on the BBC website the other day about British school kids. It reads a lot like our nation’s current leadership mess. Turns out, many of the kids are mislabeled as “special needs” when all they really need is a little discipline. But, it’s much easier for their teachers to neutralize their unruliness by pushing them right into special ed. Make the little darlings someone else’s problem – and at a high monetary cost, to boot, but…
The Mosque-Near-Ground-Zero controversy rages on and is not likely to end anytime soon. The Mosque backers have backed themselves into a corner. The President of the United States is making a sales pitch few are buying. Politicians across the Country, both pro and con, are stoking the fire, some with more ridiculous arguments than others.

We can always tell when politicians are trying to pull the wool over our eyes. They telegraph their disinformation punches in the same way every time. Constant pounding on whatever it is they want to K.O., using a barrage of vague, but very inflammatory, posturing.
