Indy Education Reform Effort

One of Ol' BC's facebook friends put this up last year as his MLK day post and re-ran it this year as the situation hasn't changed much in Indianapolis. As you know, Ol' BC often mentions that the policies of the left are racist generally. Here is another black American pointing out the same thing.

Just an observation.

Riots In The Streets

Not too long ago one of Ol' BC's right wing friends said that when Obama felt he couldn't win re-election he would generate rioting in the streets. I heard him calling for marches the other day on TV. I'm witnessing the march of Wall Street in which most have no idea why they are there. Maybe, just maybe, he has a better understanding of Obama than Ol' BC thought.

Just a thought.

GOP Debates

Ol' BC has seen a couple of the "debates" being televised featuring GOP presidential hopefuls. So far not much to get excited about. Yes, all are far superior to our current president. The media seems to really be pimping Perry and Romney. That, itself, is cause for pause.

Just a thought.

Maryland Uniforms Ugly Too

This seems to be the year of the ugly ugly football uniform. Georgia's uniforms they wore against Boise were awful. Then out comes Maryland against Miami wearing one that may be worse. It looked like one Miami player said, "You couldn't pay me to wear those. Well, actually you could."

A Lot Going On

Soooo, Oblahma is on vacation. Good. Can he stay on vacation until the 2012 election? Can we send Congress on vacation until then as well? Just wondering. The economy would improve as near as Ol' BC can tell.

Just a thought.

Florida First.

Yes, Florida is first. It is the first state to require drug testing when applying for welfare. The new law is due to take effect July 1st.

People are undoubtedly going to squeal. It's OK to drug test people who work for their money. This seems quite fair to Ol' BC. Thank you Florida!

Just a thought.

NFL And Players

I heard recently that the NFL teams have been asked again to open their books to the players for review. That's ludicrous. One talking head actually concurred because as he said, "the players are giving back so they should get to see the books."

Let me clarify this. The players aren't "giving back" one dime. The old CBA has expired and that pie (we'll call it apple pie) was divided under it between the NFL teams and the players. None of the players' money under that agreement is being given back.

NOW, the NFL is baking a cherry pie. They are deciding how to divide it (under a new CBA) since the apple pie has been devoured. They players aren't giving back any apple pie. It's all gone. Now, they are discussing the cherry pie.

The owners have invested millions and some hundreds of millions in their franchises and stadia. As fairly reasonable business people they might like to make a reasonable profit. They provide employment for a bunch of folks. Hopefully, this will settle sooner rather than later.
