Political Commentary

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Me: “If you don’t have exact change to pay for your vocabulary workbook, you can still get one – several people have paid for theirs already, so I have some change.”

A Student: “Do you have Obama’s change?”

Your “paranoia” and “low, low prices!” links for the day.

Busy Busy Busy

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

I’ve gotten a long-term sub job for this Fall, so I’ll be a little busy trying to get ready for a while here. There likely won’t be any posts for a bit – I need to have 3 books read in the next week, plus lesson plans, etc.

An Editorial You’d Never See In America

Friday, August 13th, 2010

It’s very sad that the British media are now more free (or at least, more willing) to criticize the U.S. President than the American media generally seem to be.

UPDATE 8/13/10 18.35: I was very amused by one commenter on this article:

The 11th reason is because Obama is a “Pole Turtle”. If you ever see a turtle sitting on top of a fence pole you know the following: He didn’t get up there by himself. He doesn’t belong up there. He doesn’t know what to do while up there. He certainly isn’t going anywhere and you have to wonder what kind of dumb ass put him there in the first place.

Certainly sums that up.
