Editor,
Guns don’t kill, people do. I understand the sentiment, but a gun makes it a lot easier and an assault gun with many rounds of ammunition has made too many massacres possible.
Let’s be honest here. There are restrictions on guns now. You can’t go out and buy a machine gun or a rocket propelled grenade for personal use... Read More...

The elventh month, the eleventh day

Tony Bennett is scheduled to give his third “State of Education” tomorrow night (Tuesday) in Indianapolis.
After he gave his first such speech in 2010, I wrote an article about data exaggerations he used in his speech. I have reviewed the article from two years ago, and I believe it is appropriate to reprint it for you here as preparation for the speech tomorrow night and as part of the “hold Tony Bennett accountable plan” which culminates in the election on November 6th...
