Waiting for Supermannew

Make no mistake, this movie has its share of detractors, beginning with teachers' unions. The film speaks a truth that is usually whispered: A good many teachers are just not meant for the job.

The Case Against Nikki Haleynew

The Republicans may not like it. The Democrats may not like it. But the 2010 gubernatorial race comes down to one thing and one thing only: Did Nikki Haley have an affair with Will Folks? It's an issue the Haley camp has addressed poorly.
