HIPPA no longer protects our medical records. Even though personal information was not published, personal records were accessed without permission. That has to be a clear violation of the law. Contact your provider and ask if your records are safe. I hope the people sue for damages.

His ego has become a supernova. Hopefully, it will soon implode into a black hole, sucking in all around him. Imagine if he could decide to rename everything. I am sure he would come up with some doozies for California and New York.

It is interesting that Eisenhower appointed wealthy businessmen to his cabinet but realized it would be political suicide to tamper with the social safety net set up by the New Deal. He did go after regulations that were in place to smooth the transition from war to peace. Not now.

Thanks to Nixon and the war on hippies.

Her "value added" determination is very questionable. She ignores the teacher shortages in Wisconsin and the flight of new teachers to other states. Her identification of gender bias is very significant but she ignores this effect in her delight over the disruption that Act 10 created.
