Debatable

Justly
Just eight months ago, President Obama was proposing to effectively end the popular college savings accounts known as 529s. On Monday, with Mr. Obama next to him, Education Secretary Arne Duncan embraced them and even seemed to suggest they should be expanded. (New York Times, 9/15/2015)

So the question is, did Obama flip-flop or did he "evolve?"


Promises
The advertisement goes on to argue that Mr. Trump’s promised wall along the border with Mexico would be unfeasible and that the cost of deporting illegal immigrants en masse would sink the economy. (New York Times, 9/15/2015)

The Great Wall of China, Hadrian's Wall, the Berlin Wall, the walls surrounding every Liberal Hollywood actor's house... there have been some pretty successful walls in history. Suddenly Liberals have decided that walls don't work. 


Suspected
After they were done, Mr. Deng was dying from brain and bodily injuries, a prefinals weekend retreat had turned into the scene of a murder investigation, and his fellow pledges, big brothers and fraternity leaders were its primary suspects. (New York Times, 9/16/2015)

There is nothing the media loves more than a good fraternity crime story. It doesn't matter whether it is a fake rape story or an actual hazing death, the nexus of (usually white) privilege and malfeasance is too tempting.

Meanwhile, anyone know how many black youths died last night in the urban ghettos of Baltimore...or Chicago...or St. Louis?

Anyone?


Failing
Teachers in Seattle public schools suspended a nearly weeklong strike on Tuesday, announcing that they had agreed on a new contract with the city’s school board. Classes are to resume on Thursday.

The strike began last Wednesday and delayed the start of the school year for 53,000 students and 5,000 teachers and support workers....Stacy Howard, a spokeswoman for the Seattle school district, called the move “a huge step.”

“What we’re going to do is focus on getting back and healing,” Ms. Howard said. “We’re all here for these kids.” (New York Times, 9/16/2015)

Yes, it's true. Teachers - who periodically strike when they are unhappy with their bountiful health care and pension plans - are all about the "kids."

And their own greed.
