via Sissy Willis and Big Government we get the word that even the safest democratic seat might not be safe this time around.

Star Parker’s decision to run guarantees national attention on this so called “safe seat” which could lead to the type of national support that turned the Scott Brown race. Conversations with Parker over the weekend revealed a reluctant politician, someone who believed in public service and had spent most of her life dedicated to building a stronger America. Parker surveyed the political landscape and responded to America’s need for new leaders by deciding to run, like Allen West and Chuck Devore. In her syndicated column, Parker explores her reasons for running:

It should be pointed out that Sissy’s tweet not withstanding this is not actually the seat held by Maxine Waters but by her protege Laura Richardson, but a defeat for her would be a stunning rebuke to Waters. Parker is clearly a superior candidate in this race.

But it’s true I would vote for a Boiled Cabbage (and I don’t even like boiled cabbage) over Richardson as well.

We talked to Dorothy at the Boston Tea party on the 14th.

I can see why Bill Clinton is so afraid.

I met Jeff McQueen at the Scott Brown Victory Party and was pleased to see him both in Boston and in Washington.

His second American revolution flag has sold very well.

And another great thing about the Catholic Church our schools are so good…

…non catholic millionaires help fund them:

“I’m not Catholic,” says Grauer. “I grew up in a household that was Presbyterian and Episcopalian. My mother was one and my father was the other. I don’t really remember who was which. I went to Sunday school at both places, but these days I don’t spend a lot of time in church, I’m ashamed to say.”

“But,” Grauer quickly adds, “what I care about is the kids. I want to make sure they have an opportunity to get a good education. I believe that the delivery mechanism in Catholic schools is really good. It equips these kids to ultimately go on to higher education and become productive citizens—maybe even work for Bloomberg. I don’t think too much about whether a school or a donor or a student is Catholic or non-Catholic. I just think about rallying the troops to raise as much money as we can to make sure these kids have a decent opportunity.”

Catholic education is a lot more expensive than it used to be, when my older brothers and sisters when to St. Anthony’s more than half of the teachers were nuns. When I went there were only 3 nuns left. When my sons when there were no classes were taught by nuns. That means lay teachers who have to make a lay living.

Via the Corner as they say read the whole thing.
