Wednesday Roundup

From yesterday, excerpt from nypost.com editorial: “Education spending has risen sharply, but not kids’ test scores.” Anyone surprised when the focus is other than ABCs and 123s?

From an NYP op-ed piece by Rich Lowry: “It’s manifestly absurd to consider a disparate group of people constituting less than 0.5% of the population spread out across the entirety of the country — from diverse walks of life and in different situations regarding their trans status — a community.” Kudos, Sir. Expect a lot of hate mail.

Cue the Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again: “Meet the new boss — same as the old boss.” (Pete Townshend) Headline from newsmax.com: “Progressive Brandon Johnson Elected Chicago Mayor.” Hope I’m wrong.

Also from NM: “Monoclonal Antibodies Cut COVID Deaths.” Sean Hannity has been citing them for a long time.

RIP wrestler Leaping Lanny Poffo, 68, cause of death not yet revealed. In the WWF/WWE he began as enhancement talent, reciting poetry before matches, losing to the organization’s stars despite his athleticism and technical skills. He briefly rose to headliner when he did a heel turn as the obnoxious The Genius. He was the brother of the legendary Randy Macho Man Savage. He was a dad of one. Thank you, sir.

Will this make a difference? Headline from foxnews.com: “NC lawmaker ditches Dems for GOP, explains final straw that pushed her decision.” Or will she be just another RINO?

Nasty conditions put the kibosh on the floating book shop.
