Rob Bobb betrays teachers' values

Bipartisanship can work

·

A while ago I expressed doubt about the bipartisan health care summit, because even with Obama there I believed the GOP would slip to its standard platform of “whatever the Democrats want is the spawn of Satan and must not pass.” Apparently underestimating Obama’s ability to disarm his opponents with his speaking skills is not a good idea.



20100304 Gun ban

Gun control debate flares up once again

·

The United States Supreme Court is once again debating our constitutional right to bear arms, an amendment that was added in 1791. The most recent debate stems from a 2008 row regarding Chicago’s law banning handguns within city limits.

GOP lines splintering

·

As I’m sure you are aware, we face the midterm elections this year, and there is some pretty interesting stuff going on in Washington. Polls now show the country is feeling harshly anti-establishment.

Women's attire in Islam is personal expression

·

The hijab. What is usually the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word? Be honest with yourself. No one can hear your thoughts. Do you know what a hijab is? Do you know why it has to be worn?



The Eastern Echo

Health talks grow stagnant

·

As the east coast enters a new Ice Age, and Michiganders contemplate migrating south for the winter, the debate over health care reform continues.


The Eastern Echo

NYC terrorist trial worth it

Some experts believe a civilian trial for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed in New York City would end up costing close to $1 billion.



The Eastern Echo

Legislation to help small businesses

·

Apparently President Obama is making a habit of ripping the GOP a new one. Which is fun for me because not only do I enjoy it, but also it usually comes with an idea for change.

Military should drop 'Don't ask, don't tell'
