You know, sometimes you know in the back of your head that something is true, but, you just kind of ignore it because it seems too ridiculous. Well, the state of California and LAUSD have shown that truth is sometimes more insane that fiction. 

In the LA Times an article ran...

L.A. Unified set to renew charter contract despite evidence of cheating
The director of Crescendo charters, which operates six campuses south of downtown L.A., directed principals and teachers to let students study the actual exam questions on important standardized tests. 

( http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-crescendo-20110228,0,2723836,full.story  )

I "knew it" but to have the reality confirmed is stunning. What is stunning is not that some fool "executive director" had principals (who should know better) tell their teachers to cheat. Having worked for "the district" I, sadly, am not at all surprised by this since I have experienced the process by which they select their leaders.  What is even more appalling is that the state and LAUSD are willing to renew the charter on a slap of the hand and ethics training!

John Allen the ethically challenged "executive director" who order the principals to order their teachers to cheat is still making over $160,000.00 a year! The principals were suspended for 10 days. What about the brainless surgeons who run the state and LAUSD? Shouldn't they be punished for allowing these clowns to continue? 

Random Thoughts of the Week

Here are a few random thoughts about stuff from the week, enjoy...

Ethics - Rangel admitted he had some "ethical lapses." Waters husband, and therefor her, benefited from the assistance given to One-United Bank. GUILTY.
If these were two Republicans it would be in all over the evening news every day. I am only surprised the the propaganda wing of the Democratic party ran this story before the elections.

CA Legislatures - If they won't vote for cuts, vote them out, because they will just put us in more debt.
If they vote for more taxes, vote them out because working Californians pay more than enough already.

VP Biden - A fool and his mouth are never parted.

Allred - Allred is an ambulance chasing, opportunistic weasel. I will say it again, if this was about the maid, she'd be in court.
It's not about the maid, it's about Brown. What else is brown and sometimes needs to be shoveled?

Nicky - Am I to believe someone who lied about her legality as a citizen, falsified her social security number and more? No.
Am I to believe the greatest known opportunistic lawyer "who can only say" the lie she wants me to believe? Again no.
Who will believe Diaz and Allred? The same people who believed that Wild Bill Clinton didn't inhale and struggle with the meaning of "is."

$111 billion in LA Stimul-less -
1. Sounds like mostly temporary jobs.
2. Sounds like mostly government jobs.
3. Sounds like government mismanagement at its' best.
4. Sounds like a waste of tax payer money.
55 jobs!? Pathetic...
