Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Is Our Children Learning?

You're telling me...

As someone who grew up in the South, I still love a snow fall.  The beautiful, soft, lazy descent of snow into a world of quiet remains among the loveliest experiences in nature.

But can we knock it off please?

My kids haven't been to a full week of school in a few weeks and aren't likely to get a full week in next week either.  Also, too, we're looking at absolutely frigid temperatures for the foreseeable future that will make cleaning up and digging out a real chore.

It wasn't bad enough that Alaska had to foist Palin on us, now they are exporting their weather, too.
