My brother Fred has changed the name of his blog—inserted “That One” in the title—as in THAT ONE, PREAPREZ BLOG. Should we all do that (like I am Spartacus)? Or how about beginning and ending every sentence with “my friend.” Be sure and watch the video of Trumka’s stemwinder speech, Fred posted today. If that doesn’t fire you up, you’re in trouble, my friend.
Quotable
No one who has been involved in, had children in, or followed developments in the Washington school system can deny that it is in need of real reform. I would wager that the six superintendents who have been employed during the last 10 years would agree. But imagine trying to reform a system by declaring, as Chancellor Michelle Rhee has on numerous occasions, that “cooperation and collaboration and consensus are overrated” whether that be with the local teachers’ union or as she said recently, with parents or community groups.Randi Weingarten, President AFT in NYT (“D.C. School Reform”)
What's a "stemwinder"?
