Education writer Jay Mathews has long put out a list of America's Best High Schools, and in the recent 2008 ranking there are 4 Bellevue high schools in the top 100, including The International School at #10; Sammamish makes the top 200, at... 11471@http://soundpolitics.com/public/ King County 2008-09-06T15:24:05TeacherRyan -08:00 http://soundpolitics.com/public/2008/09/leftist_truth_they_dumped_an_e.html Yet more evidence of what the OhDrama-backing fringe left nutters truly believe about their flag and this country: denverpost.com Republican Recycling by David Harsanyi on September 6, 2008 This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage.

Somehow it doesn't fit quite into the impression I had. Barack Obama was a founding member of the organization Public Allies. His wife became executive director of the Chicago chapter in 1993. According to Investors Business Daily, the Obamas plan to use this organization as the model for a national public service program. Obama allegedly calls the new program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service."

The 40 Days for Life campaign features prayer, fasting, round-the-clock peaceful vigil outside an abortion facility and grassroots educational outreach.

Sarah Palin's speech, despite being carried on only six channels compared to Obama's ten, despite the lack of a huge venue or months of hype, was viewed by only a million fewer people than Barack Obama's Speech o' the Century.

Local King and Snohomish County Ron Paul die hard supporters and other Ronulans from around the country were taking pictures of the model White House podium setups early yesterday at the convention.

It is also clear that the individual vote totals announced by the delegation chairs' of many states were false and misleading, and that the delegation chairs' from numerous states ignored and fraudulently mis-counted (at least) dozens of votes cast by Ron Paul Delegates. For example, Sue Lowden, the delegation chairman from Nevada,... 11440@http://soundpolitics.com/public/ 2008-09-03T23:22:06natedawg1604 -08:00 http://soundpolitics.com/public/2008/09/cnncoms_tradition_of_unbiased.html Well, well, well. Had I blogged earlier when my intuition told me that the mainstream media couldn't help but play tricks with the first real act of the RNC, in what will probably end up being our third "down-to-the-wire" election in a row. I could have been heralded as a prophet. It was only a matter of time before CNN.com pulled one of its tricks.
