In a couple of days Mrs. RR and I will be boarding a train to the nation’s capital for our annual pilgrimage to CPAC. Other years there were the odd person or so handing out newspaper from the Socialist Workers Party in the lobby of the hotel. This year is different. That fun-loving yet rabble-rousing [...]

Impeach Obama – the Word from Concord, MA!
January 9th, 2012
This morning Mrs. RR and I were taking our morning walk around the town. As we approached the green from the direction of the toy shop we noticed someone holding a sign near the big flagpole. As we go closer we noticed that it said: “Impeach Barack Obama”! It was an amazing sight to see [...]
The dumbing down of AB students
December 30th, 2011
I was shocked to read this in the Beacon: Acton, Mass. — Acton-Boxborough Regional High School and R.J. Grey Junior High School have elected to discontinue the practice of releasing student honor rolls for publication in the Beacon, after growing concern about pressures to succeed academically, school officials said. After all, this is the school [...]

November 5th, 2011
In today’s Presidential address VP Biden announced that the President will not wait for the legally elected congress to act on his jobs bill. If they won’t pass it, Biden said, the President will act on his own. He plans on implementing a surtax on taxpayers who earn >$1M a year. This surtax will be [...]
Ed Board Rules: Screw Your Kids!
October 26th, 2011
Why bother to really educate kids? Dumb ones will vote reliably Democratic every time. Smart kids are dangerous, – they might understand the issues and vote Republican. Your ‘humble public servants’ on the Deval Patrick appointed Board of Elementary and Secondary Education are ‘recommending’ to Duh-val that Mass Hole ‘opt-out’ of No Child Left Behind. [...]
What’s Wrong With This Picture?
June 3rd, 2011
I was at Acton-Boxborough Regional High School on Tuesday evening to present a scholarship to a graduating senior. We award this scholarship each year in the amount of $2,000. While I was waiting for my turn (> $300,000 was awarded to over 200 students) I looked around and noticed all the bright shining faces of [...]
Madison Braces For A Nasty Summer
June 3rd, 2011
Remember those mobs of chanting union teachers last February – filling the capitol building and streets, and disrupting the legislature? Remember the Democratic ‘Flee-baggers’ – who fled over the Illinois state line. Did that look like a zoo? Remember Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi – who’s son is an SEIU goon – overturning the new law? [...]
Detroit Can’t Read!
May 5th, 2011
47% [about200,000] of Detroit’s residents are ‘functionally illiterate‘. They can’t read a want ad, fill out a job application, read a newspaper, – or a ballot. Wow! How’d that happen?
Slow Death By Entitlement
April 9th, 2011
This has been a tension-filled week, between the looming shutdown, the vote in Wisconsin, and the union mobs in Olympia. Last night’s capitulation by Senate Democrats and the pResident are a clear tactical and moral victory for the TEA Party. Hundreds of thousands of your phone calls, emails, faxes and letters worked. But our Young [...]
Obituary
March 16th, 2011
Obituary printed in the Times (UK) - Interesting and sadly rather true. Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered [...]
