What Rot

I say, when I read things like this on the internets, they go right up my nose.  What sort of bounder publishes embarrassing photos of Mikey like that one?  Not only that, but this chap is outright disrespectful not only to Mikey, but to the entire concept of mayoral control.
I say, hear hear to Mikey [...]

Excellent

There’s a new article over at the excellent publication, The New York Daily News.  I don’t often peruse this particular publication, as it pertains primarly to pictorial postulations, but this just pops with peppery punch.
One of Mikey’s new principals explains how he saved a dying school.  It’s admirable.  All he did was turn out the [...]

A Large Error

I say, there’s been a bit of an uproar about people of large proportions lately.  This, of course, is outrageous.  Many of the large set, as we say, are treated poorly, until people realize how much money we have.  In fact, some punters are outraged that airlines are now charging them for two seats if [...]

Deep Disappointment

That’s what I feel as I stroll the streets today and see all the urchins lollygagging about.  There’s simply no reason for that, and once we open the Smellington Academy they’ll know what it means to get a job done.  And the riffraff on the street!  Why aren’t these people working, for the love of [...]

An Unmitigated Outrage!

Hi, ho lovies! (Kiss, kiss). Just got back from a little nip-tuck vacation and I’ve heard the most shocking news! It seems that some of the teachers at my favorite, reform, I mean “charter” school have been attempting to – I can barely say the word – unionize!
What on earth can they be [...]

Bravo, Chaps

I say, the folks at Gotham Schools are providing an excellent forum for those who’d speak reason.  Look here, and here, for some excellent defenses of the great work Mikey and Joel are doing.
Hip, hip, hooray to those who stand up for Mikey and Joel under these trying circumstances. It takes some gumption to stand [...]

Exciting News

Have invited a tennis buddy of ours, Augustus Smith-Smythe, to lend a voice to the burgeoning billionaire lobby here at BER. As you all know, the mainstream media is replete with ne’er do wells and reprobates who care nothing for pressing issues like tax cuts for PLUs.
Personally, I’m sick to death of seeing the [...]

A Devil of a Time

I say, that’s what I had trying to find this excellent piece of writing by one Mike Petrelli.  I was led there by this “Eduwonkette” gal, whom I assume to be a tool of the bootless and unhorsed.  In any case, Mr. Petrelli makes the smashing argument that teachers are getting health insurance on the [...]

A Smashing Notion

Gad, it’s been so long since I’ve read something quite so inspirational as this piece in the National Review.   Let’s not have this upstart new president tossing away precious tax dollars on education.   It’s quite reasonable to determine that spending on the bootless and unhorsed, like public school students, and public school teachers, is just [...]

I’m Appalled

I’ve been perusing the internets of late, and I’ve come across this absolutely ghastly NYC Public School Parents blog.  They are upset, evidently, that Joel pays his people so well.  What are these people, communists?  Then, when I examine the fine print, it turns out they’re earning a mere 150-180 thousand per year.  Gad, the [...]

A Simple Question

I was out walking today, and all around me were the bootless and unhorsed, and I had to ask Muffy, “Gad, why aren’t these people working?”
This country has lost its moral compass. We need to get these people scrubbing the floors immediately. If we allow this sort of nonsense year after year, mark [...]

Smashing!

I say, I’ve just read a really ripping yarn about the good work Mike and Joel are up to, and I’ve been trying to coax Muffy away from the pool to tell her, but she tells me she’s all tied up.  She and that wacky poolboy!  What fresh mischief will they next concoct?
Regardless, you must [...]

A Banner Day

I say, it’s a great day for billionaires everywhere, as the US Supreme Court finally restores fairness to campaigning
Previously, if someone like Mike, or me, were to wish to purchase City Hall, our opponents, simply by virtue of their poverty, would have been able to accept triple contributions from individual donors.  Now I ask you, [...]
