The Chronicle has a column by Naomi Schaeffer Riley, a conservative writer whose credits include the WSJ and National Review, advising students that colleges do have rules. Whether you are from the right or left — your freedoms end where the campus rules begin. More to the point:
But by now, students, or at least their [...]
If you have perused my posts, especially those dealing with policy and/or legislation, you will note that I make judgements on the intent of those promoting their policies. Many times, I find that my initial judgements were ill informed. Those times are the result of talking to the initiator, listening, then making an assessment of [...]
Actually, the way society respects each is diametrically opposed. Dead poets, at least the good ones, rise in respect. Dead politicians (dead in the political realm, not corporeal), well, as a friend once said:

A bill has just been introduced in the Georgia House of Representatives that revives discussion from 4 years ago, led by Mr. Horowitz, alleging that Georgia’s public colleges were led by communists and liberals and thus our students were being forced to learn things that they did not agree with.

Last month, I asked what happened to the promised rate cut for malpractice insurance. Today, AP asks the same question. Guess what — in some cases, rates doubled. The largest insurer, MAG, which promised the cut, froze rates but refuses to talk to the press. Here is the quote of the day:

This morning's editorial in the Macon Telegraph unveils the not-so-secret strategy for this fall:

The effort to ban same-sex marriages, [...]
Ms. Sadie Fields is expressing her unrighteous indignation over a Judge's ruling that the amendment to the Georgia Constitution (adopted with more than 76% approval in 2004) was improperly framed.
Two quotes are worth reviewing:
“We're looking to Thurbert Baker to do the right thing and vigorously defend what the legislature has done and the will of [...]
Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal opines in today's issue that blogs may so reduce our inhibitions to the point we will live as though we are all residents of South Park.
Mr. Henninger seems to try to stay calm despite his jump to that conclusion. Nevertheless, his concern is amplified by many, especially those [...]
Marc Canter has a thoughtful piece on where community is — and at the same time exposes the divide between the geeks (politically and socially) and the “real” world.
Rusty from Georgia writes in the Knoxville Sentinel about the low security used for the email server servicing Ralph Reed’s campaign. So he asks:
