I wrote the other day about the rather disturbing arrest at the Jefferson Memorial for silly dancing. The video is now online, and it's pretty clear that there was no basis for the arrest other than a fear of nonconformity. It's also pretty clear from the video (as well as the dedicated website, Free the Jefferson 1) that Julian Sanchez's admonition that hijinks will ensue is pretty much dead-on accurate.Megan McArdle also points out that there is officially a plan to recreate the 10-minute Jefferson dance-a-thon beginning this Saturday night as a form of protest. If it weren't for the fact that I could become a father any day now, I'd gladly make the trip down to DC to join in. If you're in that vicinity this weekend, I highly recommend paying your homage to liberty.

. Thomas Jefferson believed "Financiers, bankers and industrialists make cities the cesspools of corruption, and should be avoided." It is hard to argue with him given it is the actions of lenders that enabled the Great Housing Bubble. Today's property illustrates why something needs to be done to prevent irrational exuberance from creating volatility in our real estate markets. The family that bought this property put 25% down, and although they started with an Option ARM, they refinanced in 2006 into a fixed-rate mortgage. They tasted the kool aid and did not find it palatable. Families like this should not get screwed based on the timing of their purchases due to life's circumstances. From the photos, it appears they have young children. They probably bought this as a family

The Beaumont Enterprise has the skinny on the Jefferson County Convention. Buried in the story is a note about some Clinton Delegates almost deciding to walk out: LeBlanc almost missed out on her dream due to confusion over the selection process that led to some frayed nerves in the divided precinct. Some of the Obama supporters maintained that four separate votes should be held, one for each delegate and alternate. The outnumbered Clinton delegates objected that this would guarantee every slot is occupied by an Obama supporter. They countered that party rules call for a single vote and that the four nominees who receive the most votes should attend the state convention. “Why have delegates and spend the whole day here if this is how it’s supposed to turn out?” LeBlanc

State District Judge Jim Jordan (D-Dallas), has announced he will seek the Democratic Party’s nomination for Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court. Jordan will face Wallace Jeferson in the general election: Jordan, a veteran civil defense attorney and past member of the Texas Association of Defense Counsel, noted a serious backlog in cases at the state's highest court. "They are failing to do their work as the backlog in cases has reached record levels" Jordan, who currently presides over the 160th District Court in Dallas, is Board Certified in Civil Trial La — a certification earned by less than 2% of Texas Lawyers. "When the system is broken, the responsibility must fall on the leader," Jordan noted, explaining his decision to seek the Chief Justice position. "I am running for Chief Justice because this Court has lost its way. Instead of upholding the law, it is advancing an ideology," Jordan added, referring to a recent study released by a Universit

One of the big yearly events for Democrats is the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner.I guess Jackson was a Democrat, even though the triumph of his presidency was the smashing of the Central Bank, something which was finally resurrected by another Democrat, and the spiritual father of neo-conservatism, Woodrow Wilson, in the form of the Federal Reserve.Thomas Jefferson is honored, because he was a Democrat, in the sense that he was not a Republican, since the Grand Old Party did not come into existence until thirty-five years after the third president's death.Among other things, Jefferson believed that future leaders should trust the good judgment and common sense of the American people. He thought those qualities would keep the ship of state on course.Then why would the apparent heir to Jefferson have this to say about health care?"We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices…. Government has to make those choices for people."That would be Hillary Clinton, who a

Louisville, Ky. (AP) Students' ethnicity and socioeconomic status as well as race are among the factors the Jefferson County Board of Education agreed Monday to include in developing its next student assignment plan.The U.S. Supreme Court in June barred the district from assigning students to schools based on race."We want to look at diversity in a much broader light so that it will maximize the educational benefits for all students," Superintendent Sheldon Berman told The Courier-Journal. "We will still look at race, and race will still be a major factor, but it will not be the only factor."Besides diversity, the "guiding principles" that the board adopted include enhanced quality of the instructional program; families choice; predictability so that families understand the choices and the assignment process; student stability to provide connection to the school staff, peers and the school's social and academic community; and equitable access to programs and resources.The board voted

When the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the use of race for individual student assignments, Toya Martin of Louisville hoped two of her children could transfer to a nearby school."I was like, 'Oh, good. My kids are going to be able to get closer to home,' " she said.But that didn't happen.The week before school started, Martin was told that the school her children had applied to, Byck Elementary, didn't have enough space.That's the case in most Jefferson County public schools, the district's latest enrollment data show.Seventy-four of the district's 120 non-magnet schools are at or above their capacity, according to figures from the first week of class. And most of the 46 schools below capacity have only a dozen or fewer openings...This from the Courier-Journal.

Thomas Jefferson and the Wall of SeparationBetween Church and StateAn Interview with Author Daniel DreisbachBy John W. Whitehead and Casey Mattox10/28/02In 1802 Thomas Jefferson penned a letter to the Danbury, Connecticut, Baptist Association in which he described the First Amendment as erecting a "wall of separation between church and state." That phrase, largely forgotten for nearly 150 years, was reintroduced to our lexicon in 1947 by Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black in his opinion in Everson v. Board of Education, a case holding that state funded transportation of all students to and from their schools, including parochial schools, was constitutional.The wall metaphor has since been accepted by most Americans, and many jurists, as the authoritative description of the interaction between religion and civil government countenanced by the First Amendment. In his latest book, Thomas Jefferson and the Wall of Separation Between Church and State, Daniel Dreisbach exposes the history of t

Jefferson County Public Schools officials should allow students who were assigned to schools this year because of their race to choose another school -- or be held in contempt, says the Louisville lawyer who pushed to have the district's integration policy struck down.Teddy Gordon filed a motion in U.S. District Court in Louisville challenging the district's decision to end using race in assigning new and transfer students to schools, but not to reconsider assignments that had already been made.Gordon says that practice allows the district to "continue to discriminate.""There are students assigned to schools because of racial classifications going into the school year," Gordon said in an interview.Gordon said district estimates suggest that roughly 2,800 students were likely assigned by race for the 2007-08 school year, meaning they weren't granted a school choice because of the district's racial guidelines.Because the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against racially based school assignm

School Board backs step for revising systemThe Jefferson County Board of Education voted unanimously last night to approve a plan that it hopes will help create a new student-assignment policy in time for the 2009-10 school year.The 14-page plan, which will be submitted to U.S. District Judge John Heyburn for guidance and approval, is one of the district's first steps to comply with a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that race can't be a deciding factor in individual student assignment.Superintendent Sheldon Berman said the district will immediately begin to follow the timeline established in the plan, which was put together by district officials with the help of the school board's attorney, Frank Mellen.Berman also said the district will "no longer use race to determine whether a student is granted a transfer or placement at a particular school."Board members said they were pleased with the hard work of Berman and district officials who worked "long hours" to put the plan together.

ATTORNEY FOR PARENT WHO FOUGHT SYSTEM URGES CURRENT SYSTEM BE SCRAPPED IMMEDIATELY LOUISVILLE --As the Louisville school system begins to adjust to a U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down its student assignment program, the new superintendent said yesterday that its system might need only to be tweaked, not overhauled.Sheldon Berman, who took over the nation's 26th-largest school system on Monday, said that, even though the high court struck down the use of race in placing students, an opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy could leave Jefferson County Public Schools in good shape."It gives us a lot of flexibility to stay with the current plan with some modifications," Berman said of Kennedy's opinion.Last week, Kennedy went along with the court's four most conservative members in rejecting the Louisville and Seattle student assignment plans, but also said race could sometimes be a component of school efforts to achieve diversity. Kennedy wrote that he disagreed with an interpretati

Mitch Lawrence, a writer with the New York Daily News, reports on some developments in New Jersey: Once the Nets get Vince Carter’s signature on a four-year, $60 million contract, insiders say they’ll investigate making a move for Portland’s Zach Randolph. It’s no surprise that they’re leery of Randolph’s off-court issues and the fact he has around $60 million left on his contract. But they’ve seen that Carter can only get them so far in the playoffs.

Otra miniserie de Ape Entertainment, esta más inminente, para el 2007. Se trata de un proyecto de Jay Carvajal de Cinema Comics, productora que publica con Ape Entertainment y 01 comics. Curiosamente esta miniserie en un inicio, a mediados de los 90, cuando estaba en proyecto se titulaba Aliens & Cowboys igual que la novela gráfica de Platinum Studios con la que no guarda relación. Cuando Jay Carvajal descubrió que otra compañía iba a usar el mismo nombre volvió sobre la historia ya que le parecía original y la terminó meses antes que Platinum editara la suya. Después se alió con Ape y pronto se empezará a publicar los 4 números, el plan es que se vaya haciendo una miniserie cada año ya que tiene más historias para estos personajes.             Cinema Comics es una compañía que se dedica a producir comics y que tiene ya multitud de proyectos entre manos, Jay Carvajal empezó inicialmente escribiendo guion
