I just followed a link from Mr. B on the change of tenure rules in the state of Colorado.  Maybe it’ll  help the state of education in that part of the US.  I hope so.  The embarrassing part??  A Colorado representative (female, Democrat) burst into tears at the news of the passage of the bill. … Continue reading

This posting from RobertaX got a spit-shot this morning–it should have carried some kind of warning.   I still like the original although I’d pay good money to see Arnold read her lines.

As others have said (Mr. B, Ambulance Driver , Brigid, JayG and others) today is a day that is not about hot dogs and cookouts, but about family and remembrances.  Not that long ago, today was the day when everyone would get together and make a trip to the graveyard to attend the graves of… Continue reading
