What I Really Want to Do Today

I'm off to another all-day meeting. This time it is "professional development", where teachers are pitted against teachers because some of them are getting paid a stipend for holding other teachers accountable for doing extra work.

What I really want to do is talk about this:

The end of the world is not just coming; it's here. Until Bush came in it was still possible to be successful, happy. That was two years ago, but now the wheel is turning and I don't think what we're in now will possibly get any better. - Hunter S Thompson, in an interview by Marty Beckerman.
