How Are they to Know?

Another day another dollar.

  • Apparently the DPG Convention will be in Athens. This is a dumb idea but not for the reason others are citing. A topic for later.
  • “What’s happened to the political center? Without it, can anything in Washington get done?” What a bizarre premise. First, the type of centrism MTP was asking about, isn’t really centrism, and yes you can get plenty done without centrism. What you need is strong party discipline or a huge majority. That’s how both Dems and Republicans have gotten stuff done since Bush. What MTP wants, and really what political journalists opine for is just a less rancorous “dialogue” that leads up to a vote whose outcome is pretty much already known. I have more to say, but don’t consider this a knock on centrism.

I’m a fool and yeah, I’m rushing…

    If Ed can go with an alter-ego/ doppelg√§nger, so can I. I’ll claim this gent, who was also born in NJ & is about the same age & size (just about):

    Fun stuff always:

    More stupid teacher tricks here from a Lumpkin Co., AP history teacher who wanted to ‘recreate history’ on film with her students. Yeah, they dressed up in cute but authentic seeming Klan outfits & as they say, the rest is history…
