House Speaker Ryan was hammered on Twitter after he tweeted out
an item about a public school employee who, thanks to the tax bill, got an extra $ 1.50 in her weekly paycheck.

Sitting on the sofa, I show him a few

about the Liston fights; Ali's conversion to Islam; the arrest for refusing military induction; the epic first battle with Frazier; the Supreme Court overturning the draft conviction; Foreman being voodooed by Ali; the Thrilla in Manila; the boxing lesson he gave Spinks in their second contest; a recent article
about Ali buying buses for Chicago - area
public schools (immediately after seeing a TV news story
about how Dade County had no money for new buses, Ali sat down, wrote a check and mailed it, not using the gift as a tax deduction); and one
about helping a young man wearing a hooded dark sweatshirt and jeans who crawled out on a high window ledge of a Wilshire Boulevard skyscraper in Los Angeles to kill himself.
Our readers are more likely to have opinions on charter
schools than the
public as a whole (all but 7 percent take a position in contrast to the 39 percent of the
public who take a pass on this
item), but the ratio of support to opposition is roughly the same:
about 3:1.
