#1 Yes, I am not a fan of James, but the underlying ideas of this program are the issue not his sponsorship. If the same money was spent to enroll all those kids in Kumon, the outcome would be much better. Phonics and arithmetic are more effective cures than bike helmets and uniforms. The fatherless is on the Dems not on some NBA bozo.

#3 Whitlock has come a long ways from working for a Disney newspaper and blaming Black Crime on John Wayne.

#4 You think LeBron could pass a simple grade school math exam? I'm pretty sure he knows the difference between a 2-pointer and a 3-pointer so there's that.

#5 With all of the digits in his salary and bank account, he probably doesn't give it much thought.

#6 Lost in the shuffle is the fact that in an honest system, celebrity intervention would not be needed to make the school system, you know, do the job it's paid to do.

#7 I'd like to think that LBJ's heart is in the right place. I'm not so sure I can say that for the AFT and the Randi Weinsteins of the world.

#9 My apologies to the Weinstein families (with one exception). To associate this filthy Weingarten with them was totally unintentional.
