Charter School Salvation In NOLA

The black clouds of Hurricane Katrina had a pretty bright silver lining. Charter School Salvation In NOLA Drastic measures were required after the storm hit a decade ago to get the children of New Orleans back in the classroom so the public education system -- which was one of the nation's worst -- was scrapped and replaced with one based on charter schools

Drastic measures were required after the storm hit a decade ago to get the children of New Orleans back in the classroom so the public education system — which was one of the nation’s worst — was scrapped and replaced with one based on charter schools.

By every measure things have gotten better.

Naturally, the stooges of the teachers union are upset but then they really don’t care about the kids now, do they?

If a decentralized, parental choice based charter school system can improve education for poor black kids it can certainly do the same for middle class white ones.

It should be noted that rich liberal kids already benefit from school choice.

Ben Howe of Redstate.com has created a documentary about it and can be seen below.

Fish And Chips By Chef Bill Sr

One of Chef Bill’s favorite meals is fish and chips which he prefers to do on the grill. Fish And Chips By Chef Bill Sr

How he cooks the potatoes varies.

The fish, however, is down to a science.  OK, the type of fish is fungible.  In fact the type bubbling in the photo is tilapia brought frozen from the Primos Price Rite and was delicious.

Fresh cod, however, is the preference and here is the recipe.

1 1/2 Lbs. fresh thick cod fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 Cup all-purpose flour
1/2 Tbs. baking powder
1/8 Tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 Cup water
1 large egg
Vegetable oil, for frying

Lay the cod fillets on a cutting board. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Cut the fillets in 1 1/2 by 3-inch pieces.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, cayenne pepper, 1 Tsp. salt, and 1/2 Tsp. pepper. Whisk in 1/2 Cup of water and then the egg.
Pour 1/2-inch of oil into a large (12-inch) frying pan and heat it to about 360 degrees F.
Dip each fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place it very carefully into the hot oil. Don’t crowd the pieces. Adjust the heat as needed to keep the oil between 360 and 400 degrees F. Cook the fish on each side for 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the “chips.”

It was Paul Newman who played Billy the Kid in the 1958 movie "The Left Handed Gun" that was left handed. Billy the Kid was right handed. And his real name was not William H. Bonney but Henry McCarty. And he was almost certainly not born in Wheeling, W. Va. That's only in the Billy Joel song.William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 9-2-15

And his real name was not William H. Bonney but Henry McCarty.

And he was  not born in Wheeling, W. Va. That’s only in the Billy Joel song.

Left Handed Gun? Nope.

Planned Parenthood Sold Spin

The videos released by Center for Medical Progress (CMP) showing monstrous behavior by the once-esteemed Planned Parenthood have been reported as “heavily edited” by the pro-abortion lapdogs in the old media. Planned Parenthood Sold Spin

Well, that’s what Planned Parenthood paid for. The vile organization hired Fusion GPS, a left-wing public relations firm, to try and spin them out of their difficulty. They came up with the idea to push that the videos were “heavily edited.”

CMP has at least 12 hours of video and most of it is available for those that want to wade through it.

To say the videos that establish that Planned Parenthood sold the parts of the bodies of the human beings they killed are “heavily edited” is like saying surveillance video showing a hold up at a drug store was heavily edited because it didn’t include the entire day.

Kim Davis For President

Kim Davis, the clerk for Rowan County, Ky, was taken to the Supreme Court of the United States when she refused to issue marriage licenses for same sex couples. Kim Davis For President

It was against her religious beliefs she said.

The esteemed Ivy League educated judges on the court responded saying YOU MUST ISSUE MARRIAGE LICENSES, literally giving license to personally destructive behavior.

She just said “nope.”

A lone, working class woman has just stood up to the federal government and the establishment elite. She is going to be prosecuted and persecuted by the powers of the world. She is going to be  hated and mocked by the the wealthy and connected. They are going to try and demean her name and make you hate her as well.

We suspect she knows this.

She still said “nope.”

We say Kim Davis for President.

Kudos to Chester, Pa. as it has made Answers.com’s list of the top 10 places to avoid in the U.S.

Also, making the list is Camden, N.J. so if you live in the Philadelphia area there are two places to avoid that are but  a short drive away.

Michigan is the top state with three places to avoid as Saginaw, Flint and, everybody’s favorite, Detroit, have placements.

Talking Dog

Talking Dog
If turnspit dogs could talk they would have filed a grievance.

Courtesy of Bill Sr.

A guy has a talking dog. He brings it to a talent scout.

“This dog can speak English,” he claims to the unimpressed agent.

“Okay, Sport,” the guys says to the dog, “what’s on the top of a house?” “Roof!” the dog replies.

“Oh, come on…” the talent agent responds. “All dogs go ‘roof’.”

“No, wait,” the guy says. He asks the dog “what does sandpaper feel like?”

“Rough!” the dog answers.

The talent agent gives a condescending blank stare. He is losing his patience.

“No, hang on,” the guy says. “This one will amaze you. ”

He turns and asks the dog: “Who, in your opinion, was the greatest baseball player of all time?”

“Ruth!” goes the dog. And the talent scout, having seen enough, boots them out of his office onto the street.

And the dog turns to the guy and says “Maybe I shoulda said DiMaggio?”

Remember Kayla Mueller

Remember Kayla Mueller
Remember Kayla Mueller

Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Trudy Rubin, yesterday, Aug. 30, became one of the few old media types expressing outrage over the fate of American Kayla Mueller.

Ms. Rubin even went so far as to call President Obama’s policies concerning ISIS inept and contradictory.

That’s certainly not writing you see every day by the establishment.

Miss Mueller was a human rights activist captured in August 2013 in Syria by ISIS. She was chained in a room and raped repeatedly over the next several months by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi  largely because she was an American.

She was killed on Feb. 6 this year. She was 26. ISIS claims it was a Jordanian air strike that caused her death but that is far from an established fact.

During her captivity, Miss Mueller refused a chance to escape as it would endanger the Yazidi girls who were imprisoned — and being abused — along with her and to whom she had become kind of a mother figure. She had smuggled out a letter say she would never give in to her captors.

Let us remember Kayla Mueller. Let us remember Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as well.

And for the record just about  any other president except Barack Obama would not be confused about what to do. OK, Hillary Clinton, as she would be listening to Huma Abedin, would also be confused.
