ALEC and NPRI: Outsider Influence in Nevada

Where does the GOP get all this great and fabulous anti-teacher and anti-public school legislation? Do you think the Nevada conservatives are sitting around preparing for the next legislative session right now? Does the Nevada GOP write this conservative legislation for our state based on their constituency and the peoples’ needs in Nevada? Naw, they [...]

Governor Sandoval Where is the Paper?

August 21, 2011 No Comment

The school year is starting and let me write here a few concerns I have as a teacher. There is no money for me to have paper or reading workbooks at my school – enough said. I’m on the Reform Trail AGAIN . . . did I ever leave? I will REFORM again. . . [...]

There once was a crazy leader in Rome, who fiddled while Rome burned. Here in Nevada, we have a sailor for a Governor, yo ho – blow the poor down! He recently spent quality time with his buddies. Here’s a cute photo of the Governor out for a cruise! Click Here. I wonder how much [...]

Some say art tells a lot about the person who owns it. Some say music. I say BOOKS. Ever wonder what NPRI (Nevada Policy Research Institute) has on it’s shelves? CLICK HERE TO SEE You can always look on their facebook page that shows a shelf in their new office with the NPRI’s reading materials. [...]

Michelle Rhee and Governor Sandoval

August 13, 2011 2 Comments

Michelle Rhee “reformed” Washington DC schools. She showed great improvements on standardized tests. . . kind of. But there seem to be some statistical anomalies with her test numbers. . . and then there are noticeable amounts of erasures. Seems like right after she left Washington D.C – the scores went back to normal? HMMMMMMMM [...]

Is Koch Brothers Money Killing Nevada’s Schools?

August 9, 2011 11 Comments

Do we REALLY want David and Charles KOCH foundations to try to influence legislation in Nevada that kills public education. Do we REALLY want a conservative sitting behind a desk in Washington, deciding how we fund our NEVADA public schools? Could there be groups like this? Groups which have a goal of establishing “think tanks” [...]

Chunk Muth throws a Party

Does Chucky have his own party? There seems to be a spoiler party hanging around: ORGANIZED LABOR PARTY OF NEVADA Constitution/Bylaws Daniel C. Burdish, Secretary/Treasurer 5825 Plam St. Las Vegas, NV 89120 Why would Chucky need his own party? Is he running for President? Maybe he thinks he needs to expand his Get-GOPers-To-Sign-Anti-Tax-Pledges faster operation? [...]

NPRI LOVES Sharron Angle and Karl Rove

August 7, 2011 27 Comments

Just browsing around my arch-nemesis website to see who-is-who at the Nevada Policy Research Institute. They seem to like to publish government employee salaries and tell everyone that teachers like me are overpaid and useless. So what do THEY do? Who are THEIR friends? Why do they hate teachers and public education so much? Could [...]

Amodei Can’t Find $17.30

August 6, 2011 No Comment

Ray Hagar at rgj.com posted an article about BUMBLE BUMBLE Amodei. I guess Amodei doesn’t have a couch. That is where I go when I want to find $17.30 to pay my bills. It seems that he owns a mine but has forgotten, at least 20 times, to pay his tax bill. Guess his anti-tax [...]

Kate Marshall Becomes Target of National Republicans

August 2, 2011 No Comment

Kate must be doing something right – sounding a little more Republican in a Republican voting district. The NRCC has posted a Kate Marshall attack ad. http://www.nrcc.org/blog/main.asp?Tid=1599 What can money do for you? It can buy nasty, scary ads and blogs. It can also create a big, fat, glamorific organization that runs attack ads for [...]
