"Dumber" Is Not a Legitimate Strategy for Texas Schools. Dumber Is Just Dumber. by Jim Schutze | 
Whatever you think is wrong with lazy stupid modern equivalency journalism - "This guy says chattel slavery is a bad thing, but this other guy says it's great" - just watch out. We hacks are just the canary. The same syndrome is taking place deep in the coal mine of national culture, and Texas, now more in the thrall of the Tea Party than any other state in the union, is the epicenter for the collapse.

| Something Not Rotten in Denmark |  No doubt surprising many of the people
watching the Democratic presidential debate, Bernie Sanders cited Denmark as a role model for how to help working people. Hillary Clinton demurred slightly, declaring that "we are not Denmark," but agreed that Denmark is an inspiring example.
Stories from Our Advertisers Such an exchange would have been inconceivable among Republicans, who don't seem able to talk about European welfare states without adding the word "collapsing." Basically, on Planet G.O.P. all of Europe is just a bigger version of Greece. But how great are the Danes, really? http://is.gd/2EF5LZ | |
