Wednesday Linkorama

  • Yet more data showing that immigration is not a problem for the US and appears to making the place better. As someone married to an immigrant, I’d probably have to agree.
  • Parents in NYC are putting up their own money to hire teachers’ aides for classrooms. This informal program is working very well. So naturally, the union wants it killed. Can’t have non-union employees mucking things up. Why, they come without a whole slew of administrators! Worthless “independent” Mike Bloomberg instantly caved.
  • We’re sending the DEA to Afghanistan. Yeah, that’s going to go well.
  • Remember how much Obama hated Bush’s signing statements? Well, that’s OK. Neither does he.
  • Experts are puzzled that crime is plunging during a recession. Maybe … just maybe … that’s because crime isn’t caused by poverty.
