UPDATE:   An email message received from Mr. Ryan Julison 9:10pm 11/27/12:

I was just looking at your site and wanted to ask that you correct two pieces of inaccurate information.

1.  My website is live.  It has been for some time.  I did take it down to make updates, but put it back up a while later.

2.  I have never scrubbed my Facebook page.  Go on my Julison Communications page and see for yourself.  Click on March, 2012 and you’ll see that every post you say was deleted is indeed right there and always has been.

Once you have reviewed both of these items, I would appreciate you correcting the this on your site. – Ryan Julison

Given ALL of the historical context you are now aware of, what questions would you like to see Ryan Julison honestly answer?

Anyone else noticing a trend here……

BOSTON – A painting that features President Obama posed as Jesus Christ crucified on a cross is on display at a community college art gallery in Boston.

The painting by Michael D’Antuono is part of a larger exhibit called “Artists on the Stump – the Road to the White House 2012.” It’s on display at the Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery until Dec. 15^th.

The painting is called “Truth” – and shows the president on the cross with his arms outstretched. A crown of thorns rests on his head. (more…)

Last year we brought you the story of the Atlanta Public School System’s systemic failure, fraud and corruption:  Top to Bottom

Across Atlanta Public Schools, staff worked feverishly in secret to transform testing failures into successes. Teachers and principals erased and corrected mistakes on students’ answer sheets. Area superintendents silenced whistle-blowers and rewarded subordinates who met academic goals by any means possible. Superintendent Beverly Hall (pictured above far left) and her top aides ignored, buried, destroyed or altered complaints about misconduct, claimed ignorance of wrongdoing and accused naysayers of failing to believe in poor children’s ability to learn.  This went on for more than a decade.  (more)

Now this newest revelation comes to light –  It was a brazen and surprisingly long-lived scheme, authorities said, to help aspiring public school teachers cheat on the tests they must pass to prove they are qualified to lead their classrooms.

For 15 years, teachers in three Southern states paid Clarence Mumford Sr. (pictured left) — himself a longtime educator — to send someone else to take the tests in their place, authorities said. Each time, Mumford received a fee of between $1,500 and $3,000 to send one of his test ringers with fake identification to the Praxis exam. In return, his customers got a passing grade and began their careers as cheaters, according to federal prosecutors in Memphis.

Authorities say the scheme affected hundreds — if not thousands — of public school students who ended up being taught by unqualified instructors. (more…)

Of course they do….  everything is racist.   EVERYTHING.  Last month it was Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches that made you a racist, now it’s Turkey. 

(Progressive Logic) […]  But, seriously, I mean no disrespect, especially in this holiday celebration of fellowship and thanksgiving. And, yes, I’m familiar with the phrase “de gustibus non est disputandum“—there’s no arguing about taste. But in the case of white meat from a Thanksgiving turkey, well, I’d argue about that. White meat turkey has no taste. Its slabs of dry, fibrous material are more like cardboard conveyances, useful only for transporting flavorsome food like stuffing and gravy from plate to mouth. It’s less a foodstuff than a turkey app, simulated meat, a hyperlink to real food. […]

And the guy was boasting that his turkeys were “bred to have 18 to 22 percent more white meat.” After which the CBS announcer made a stupid wisecrack about breasts that alone would make you want to forgo the silicone-textured mega-butterballs.

And these are ciabatta-bread people, not Wonder Bread people! Do they still associate white meat with refinement? It was enough to make me wonder whether there could be a racial, if not racist, subtext here. Perhaps there is a clue in the shifting fate of the “other white meat”—pork. (more…)

D’oh ….. and, and… she seriously believed him !

… She said she was honored to meet Obama, but she is also frustrated that she has yet to receive help from either her insurance companies or the government. “The president told me I would get immediate help,” she said.

“Looking back on it, it wasted a lot of people’s time,” she said of the visit. (more…)

(The Hill via GWP) Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) infuriated Republicans during the campaign with his harsh partisan attacks and now faces the delicate task of mending his relationship with the GOP.

Some Republicans say Reid poisoned his relationship with their party by waging controversial attacks against GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. They were most angered by Reid’s charge that Romney had not paid taxes in ten years, attributing the information to an anonymous source. (more…)

The United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) used five busses to ship in protesters to Wal Mart at Landover Maryland they walked circles for about an hour for the TV cameras then left…

ROFLMAO – “Occupy Palm Beach County” joins picket line…  😀

In Orlando a one woman protest, Lisa Lopez, joined with re-elected congressman Alan Grayson.   At least one worker went out on strike at stores in Ocean City, Md.; Orlando, and Baton Rouge.    The Huffington Post reported that 70 Los Angeles Walmart workers from nine stores walked off the job Thursday (avg 8 per store) in what the news site “hyped as” the first walkout by workers in multiple stores in the retailer’s 50-year history.
