Yep.

I’m reading this, and all that’s rattling through my brain is the year I spent tutoring older K-6 kids in Anacostia during the 1990's.

As noted - only a tiny, little bit better. I would have loved to have seen them get more, even if it meant my county taxes went up.

Wow...I’m feeling a tiny, little bit better about St. Anthony this morning.

I googled for a “I like the way you think” gif, and this one came up. Seemed apt.

That’s what I was thinking. Or he could take it down and then install a lovely deep and wide moat around it, but the innermost ring is a nice electric fence.

Nobody as President can get anything done without Congressional cooperation, I don’t care who you are (or who you think you are).

Dear DC-Area U.S Park Police:

Pardon me if I don’t think “CEO-level operating skills” are of much use when you aren’t just fucking around until you get your precious-metal-parachute.

Okay, this gave me a tiny glimmer of joy, so I hope it brings some to you, too. The Congresswoman for Milwaukee - Representative Gwen Moore - is introducing a “Top 1% Accountability Act”. So people who itemize $150,000 or more worth of deductions on their taxes would have to submit a clean drug test. If they don’t,…
