Oy, My Dear Israel

We allowed the Palestinian "animals" to control Gaza and has this brought us peace? The Palestinian idea of peace is exactly the same as the late scum Hitler. His idea of peace was a piece of this country and a piece of that country before gobbling everything up.
How can we even deal with so called people who bomb buses and use tractors to kill people? Could you imagine if the Israelis did this? We would be condemned universe wide.
How can we deal with people who glorified the animal recently released by Israel? He killed a man in front of the latter's 4 year old daughter and then bashed the head in of the daughter. This is what we release? Defecating on this piece of garbage would be about the only worthy thing to do this misery. They shoot horses, don't they?
The Palestinians advocate the extinction of our beloved Israel. May their hands come off before they can do further damage. Amen.

OOPS! What Was I Thinking?

What a mistake I made. I meant the national league west. Nevertheless, mistake or no mistake, Arizona, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Colorado and San Diego are all having a miserable season. Are the other teams that much superior? Again, if you can't finish at .500, you don't deserve to be in the playoffs. Ridiculous, if you think otherwise.

American League West A Disgrace for This Season

We're heading to the end of July and the western division of the national league is a disgrace beyond belief. Not one team in that league is playing .500 ball. This is ridiculous.
If this continues, by the end of the season the head of the division should not be allowed to participate in the playoffs. Imagine making it to the series with such a poor record! What's going on here?

Holding Back Tenure from Teachers

The city is so happy that more teachers are being denied tenure. What will this accomplish? More people will exit from this decaying system. Since the city is so happy to list this, how about listing the number of suspensions of unruly pupils this year as well as the number of students going to alternative schools ?. It's because of the lack of student behavior that teachers can't teach. Let's be fair on all accounts.

Mayor B on Education

Mayor Bloomberg testified in Washington today.
He spoke about the great strides made in education in N.Y.C. and attributed these improvements to the gains that the city made in their recent contracts with the Principals' Union and UFT.
The principals gave up tenure to get a hefty raise. Why did they do this? Many voted for this as they knew they were retiring. As a result, they left their colleagues holding the bag. The mayor and Mr. Klein would love to do the same with teachers.
As for the UFT, they gave up plenty in the 2005 contract which I have discussed in a previous blog. Suffice to say that the teaching staff in the city is and will always be suffering from the contract gains that the city made in '05.

Where the 29% Comes From

N.Y.C. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has a 71% favorable rating in the latest polls conducted. Believe me, the 29% who don't think this way are definitely members of the New York City school sytem.

Don't Take Me Out to the Baseball Game

Anyone paying to see the outrageous prices at the all-star game deserve to be labeled suckers of the year. Why pay for men to stand with a stick and hit the ball?
As far as the nostalgia being created by the demise of Yankee Stadium,the taxpayers are paying for this new stadium whether you like it or not. Why glorify George Steinbrenner? Didn't President Nixon pardon him? No wonder Mr. S donated plenty when Nixon ran for the presidency.
The Congressional area where the stadium is located is one of the poorest in the nation. In reality, will the people living there benefit from a new stadium? Methinks not. Ditto for the demise of Shea Stadium.
