News roundup

Why can't Johnny read?

"The District's schoolchildren rank as the worst readers in the country and only slightly better in some grades than non-English-speaking children in the territories of Guam, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa, according to a new national report."
There's a possible strike brewing at the University of D.C. over pay raises for administrators; faculty and staff haven't seen a cost-of-living increase to their paychecks in over five years.

If you're reading this, and you're mentally ill and living in D.C., it would be wise to get out.

And a decent column out of the Washington Times (shock) about disappointment in Chief Moose.
