Betcha didn't know I was even running for something, huh? Bradley Ross, the guy who runs the Bloghive, has decided to form an advisory board to help steer it and provide some input on operations. I accepted a nomination to be considered and as of today, the voting has started.
I think I'd add a lot […]

Due to being out of the country and almost immediately into the hospital, I haven't had a chance to write about the latest blast of spam coming from Utah's least favorite pirate captain. The following arrived on November 14 (twice, no less):
You are being asked to participate in a Nationwide Survey.
We would ask you […]

We lost. You know what makes it worse? We deserved it. We deserve the gloating and victory dancing from the opponents. Why? Because we let PCE run a filthy low-brow campaign and we didn't do anything to stop it. So now what?
Let's put this legislation to the side for a while. I know, it's really […]

As the magic 8-ball would say, "all signs point to yes".
An e-mail just showed up in my inbox (and probably in many of your inboxes) with a From address of georgewill@washpost.com. It contained a verbatim cut-and-paste of his recent column concerning school vouchers. Needless to say, I'm pretty sure that Mr. Will doesn't know me […]

The number crunching done in the last Voucher Math post really helped me see how big of a difference the switch rate can be even with just minor changes. What I was hoping to establish is the need to replace assumptions that have to be made by the LFA with hard data. So far, […]

One of the biggest controversies surrounding the whole voucher program is cost. Depending on who you talk to, the program with either save a ton or cost a ton with little room left in the middle. One of the big questions for me has centered around the impartial analysis and whether the numbers were net […]

Seems that the spam news in Utah is all over the place these days. I got the following in my inbox this morning:

With the excellent detective work from around the bloghive (hat tips to Bob Aagard, Mata Hari (twice!), Utah Conservative and a shall-remain-nameless e-mailer), the picture has become clear: Mark Towner sent the now-infamous "Voucher News" e-mail AND has been paid $5,000 through his consulting business just weeks prior. Is there a solid link? Not […]

Witness the following:
Why would UtahnsForPublicSchool.com (no S at the end) have a directory on it named thespyglass? And isn't a funny coincidence that the e-mail originated from ssl-mail.com, the same site that services Mark's sent.com e-mail address? Something in the air smells pretty funny and I haven't even gotten the headers of the […]

That depends on who you talk to. It seems that a fair number of Utah bloggers (like Marshall over at Wasatch Watcher) believe it to be so. The Deseret News reported on the deceptive spam e-mail in today's edition. What's suspicious is that the contents of the e-mail linked to a pair of Towner […]
