Cindy McCain

A Billy Carter Crisis

if John McCain wins this November, our country faces what I call "A Billy Carter Crisis". two reasons lead me to this conclusion: Sarah Palin's family and Cynthia McCain. John McCain looks like he loathes both of these women. Palin is the new Lyndon B., baby. and Cynthia McCain is the right's answer to Jackie O. though she wears a lot of red to evoke memories of the golden Reagan years.
anyway…

Todd Palin looks like new pop country. real mavericks like Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard would stomp kick his ass, but he has something to prove. if McCain wins, Todd will buy a cobalt blue Camero which he sets on forty-inch chrome rims. he will then proceed to pick fights with people like me over parking spaces. such antics will result in repeated butt whoopings for Todd. Sarah strikes me as the kind of woman who can throw back a few beers or snort a few lines, but never allows it to interfere with her goal of running the world. Todd will be so wasted that he uses the "red phone" to call Roger Clinton for advice. this, after he uses it to order Papa's Johns for some real goddamn Italian food. country does not always equal ignorant just as city does not always equal smart. everyone suffers some form of ignorance, but when your ignorance stems from close-minded greed rather than lack of experience or knowledge, disaster looms. that whole damn family gonna be an issue.

Nancy Reagan Red: Thoughts on an Election

i tell you what, them there GOPs sure don't want to be associated with Bush. it's like they are trying to channel 'ole Ronnie, right down to their refusal to listen to song lyrics. "Born in the USA"; "Barracuda". choose songs about abused Vietnam vets and vicious bastards and make 'em your own! anyway, that poor Cindy looks like she is one rung short of downing the last of her pain pills, borrowing a gun from Palin, and climbing a rooftop. they pulled her hair too tight. she looks very unhappy having to imitate Nancy Reagan all the time.

Words to live by

Famously opposed educators come together:

"Our macro-level differences do not interfere with our mutual respect for each other’s work.
That itself is something we hope our schools can help teach young people.

Our differences helped us consider ways to rethink our ideas and find places where those holding different views might compromise, and perhaps learn to live under one umbrella.

What we hope to model is the idea of democratic engagement, the notion that citizens need to think about and debate their beliefs and values with others who do not necessarily share all of them.

We want the issues connected to schooling to be a matter for discussion among all people who care.

We don’t have it in our power to solve the problems that confront American education—not those that take place within the schoolhouse, much less those that have a direct impact on children’s ability to learn, such as their unequal access to health care, housing, and myriad other life necessities.

But we hope that we have it in our power to provoke the thinking that must precede, accompany, and follow any attempt to reform—perhaps, even better, to transform—our schools."


Deborah Meier and Diane Ravitch May 24, 2006 commentary in EDUCATION WEEK
