Chicago School Chief on Annenberg: 'There Was a Total Lack of Accountability'
JammieWearingFool — ... and an ex-Weather Underground bomber, wrote the grant that won the Windy City funding from the national Annenberg Challenge. He was a key adviser to the Chicago Annenberg board.

I thought to myself: "General, what sources ...

Calling B.S. On The Timing of Colin Powell's Obama Endorsement
Wizbang — ... . In hindsight it appears very clear that the Powell endorsement was a done deal in August. In fact, if your read Powell's words a certain way it confirms Brown and Kristol's stories. From the interview . BROKAW: And you are fully aware that there will be some -- how many, no one can say for sure -- but there will be some who will say this is an African-American, distinguished American, supporting another African-American because of race. POWELL: If I had only had that in mind, I could have done this six, eight, 10 months ago. I really have been going back and forth between ...
