It is a 4th grade class and there were pictures of other presidents plus other significant docs. The teacher was fired and escorted off school property for insubordination. Evidently this was the culmination of a long, on-going, conflict over political leanings with the school principal but the teacher claims that politics was never discussed in her class, as if 4th graders would give a rats butt anyway. Probably most would just Z out or get to sky piloting at such a discussion. Of course in New Jersey Liberal politics is more of a religion than a religion, so it was a group of parents that saw the pic of W, went ballistic and got into the ?Kill the monster? mode. Has the sniff of a nasty lawsuit ahead but the Teach would probably have to move the hearing to some place like Oklahoma to even get a Judge to hear the case. ACLU, where art thou, hmm?

Too funny, but I went to San Francisco for a business meeting Friday morning and ran smack dab into a very noisy Labor Union demonstration. Most the hotels in the city had locked out Local 2 something, something and they were on the warpath. As well the Kerryites were out hunting down anyone who breathed to get them signed up to vote. They challenged me but I told them I was from Nevada but that didn?t seem to matter at all. Besides, I mentioned the fact that I was a ?Ditto head? and they looked at me like I had a pecker growing out my forehead. Curious, eh, and way too much fun to be legal methinks.
But I managed to get through the meeting at a picketed hotel, escape the signer uppers and get on back to the airport. My ears are still ringing with the loud mantra to drum beats, ?Don?t check in?, ?Check out?. The ?City by the Bay?, ya just got to love the place and all the goings on, going on.
