Texas GOP Declares: "No More Teaching of 'Critical Thinking Skills' in Texas Public Schools"

Texas GOP Declares: "No More Teaching of 'Critical Thinking Skills' in Texas Public Schools": "The Republican Party of Texas has issued their 2012 political platform and has come out and blatantly opposed critical thinking in public schools throughout the state. If you wonder what took them so long to actually state that publicly, it is really a matter of timing. With irrationality now the norm and an election hovering over the 2012 horizon, the timing of the Republican GOP announcement against "critical thinking" instruction couldn't be better.  It helps gin up their anti-intellectual base."

Ann Romney: We've 'given all you people need' - POLITICO.com: "Ann Romney dismissed concerns about her husband’s tax returns Thursday, contending that the two of them have “given all you people need to know.” “You know, you should really look at where Mitt has led his life, and where he’s been financially,” the potential first lady said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “He’s a very generous person. We give 10 percent of our income to our church every year. Do you think that is the kind of person who is trying to hide things, or do things? No. He is so good about it. Then, when he was governor of Massachusetts, didn’t take a salary for four years.”" 'via Blog this'

His response to President Obama’s first State of the Union address was uniformly panned. “Not ready for prime time” was a common critique.

But Jindal (R), who is often mentioned as a vice-presidential contender on Mitt Romney’s short­list, is proof that there are second acts in American politics."
