Moqtada al-Sadr Suspends Attacks On U.S. Troops
But promises to launch even more attacks if the U.S. doesn't fully withdraw from Iraq.
We told you before to keep an eye on this guy.
He may not be far off from getting the title of Ayatollah. From there, it's not far to being a Grand Ayatollah--which would put him into position to challenge, as an equal, more moderate Grand Ayatollahs who, as older men, are naturally more mellow than the younger al-Sadr.

ANDERSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN NEWPORT BEACH HAS HIGHEST API SCORE IN THE NMUSD
A commenter asks "Why can't Costa Mesa schools be like this?"
The answer is simple. Make the demographics of Costa Mesa schools like Anderson's and Costa Mesa schools will also score high on the API.
Or, to put this another way. Take all the students from Anderson and put them in any Costa Mesa elementary school and take the Costa Mesa students and put them in Anderson, and the Costa Mesa school will score high on the API and Anderson will score much lower.
Anderson is 94% White. LINK to Anderson's demographics.

COSTA MESA CITY COUNCIL--YOU NEED TO ADJUST YOUR COURSEYou should not put PR "experts" permanently on staff. They should be in out source mode. And, you shouldn't over pay them.
You should not reorganize City Hall and have the final result cost more than before the reorganization.
If your goal is to right-size government, save money, and take the power away from the out of town unions and hand it back to the citizens of Costa Mesa, and if your goal is also to improve the Westside, then the CM PRESS is with you.
If your goal is to just fill City Hall with your pals, count us out.

I am a big supporter of the four men on Council but on this one, they are way off base. The appearance of hypocrisy alone is reason enough to NOT make these 3 new positions permanent.
ReplyDeleteMr. Millard, where were you when this came up? I know it was after midnight but the opposition stayed until closing time giving their opinions at every opportunity. For once we would have all been on the same side.
