There’s a spam going around which provides virus protection against the Conflicker (note spelling) virus. Clicking it open gives you the Conficker (note spelling) virus. This sound like a government program. It produces the same thing it warns against but with enough difference to plausibly argue innocence.
Where is the H1N1 pandemic? The world wonders.
Today’s question about the media is, “Why is Tiger Woods, a professional golfer, being excoriated for carnal sins while John F. Kennedy, President of the United States, was given a free ride for his much more frequent liaisons which occurred on the public dime?”

“For example, in a large-scale study of certification status and new teacher effectiveness in New York City Public Schools, Kane, Rockoff, and Staiger (2006, p. 40) write: There is not much difference between certified, uncertified, and alternately certified teachers overall, but effectiveness varies substantially among each group of teachers. To put it simply, teachers vary considerably in the extent to which they promote student learning, but whether a teacher is certified or not is largely irrelevant to predicting their effectiveness.” (emphasis added)(p. 931).
And, on pursuing energy independence:
“Commercial nuclear power is the most heavily subsidized industry in the history of the world and the single biggest money-loser in the history of business.” Lawrence Solomon–National Post, February 20, 2010.
“An aboriginal-run university loses funding because of corruption.” Losing government funding for a favored group takes some doin’. Giving free money to “victims” never works, but never ends.
