Michelle Obama: The First Lady personalizes her vision

First Lady, Michelle Obama, brought a person, refined, regal story to the microphone. Perhaps her speech is the best FL speech I have heard in my lifetime and  I have been through a LOT of first ladies.

Ann Romney also did a wonderful job.  She and Ann ought to team up and run for office.

Is it fair to compare the two ladies?  Both have very different backgrounds.  Their life stories are different.  Both are mothers.  Both are strong women married to powerful men.

Open Thread…………………………………………Wednesday, August 6

Remember that kids are back at school and to please drive carefully.  Kids are impetuous and don’t often look where they are going.  They hop, skip, jump, and dart into streets.  If you see a kid, just assume he or she is going to do something suicidal, up the ante if the child is male.

Meanwhile, if those bus lights are flashing, stop.  Don’t try to race around it.  They will turn you in.  They = bus drivers.

Driveways are killers.  Remember to check not just your mirrors but turn your neck and look for kids.  They are often low to the ground.

Meanwhile, when does the next storm come in?

E-Code (of Behavior)? PW schools are operating on the cheap

Code of Behavior, just don’t ask for your own copy

From the Superintendent of Schools, Prince William County,  Dr. Walts:

This is the first year that the COB is being distributed primarily online, saving significant educational funds.

Print copies are available only upon request. Still, it is necessary that a parent or guardian for every student complete, sign, and

return the form sent home the first week of school, acknowledging COB content and availability. If you do not have a form, it

may be obtained—along with other important documents—by request at your child’s school office; or on the pwcs.edu Web site, by

clicking the home page button for Code of Behavior/Forms.

 

I am disgusted that Prince William County Schools have not prioritized this document.   This document should be kept in every students binder all year long.  It should be in a place where it can be whipped out at a moment’s notice for reference, either by an individual or a group or a class.  Without easily accessible rules, it is difficult to insist on enforcement.

Morris Davis: The controversy surrounding the book on the Bin Laden raid

Moe explains the process that one goes through upon exiting the military as far as what you are and are not able to do.  He says there is no time limit on classified information.

Matt Bissonnette is a former navy seal who claims the book, “No Easy Day,” is not political.  Moe Davis says the author clearly knew he was violating the exit terms of agreement–regulations he signed.    Davis also states that the book is clearly political.

[Correction:  The book will be released 9/11/12.  It is a best seller on Amazon in pre-sales].

The book has been released and is already a best seller on Amazon.  It was not vetted.  It needed to be.   It is undetermined if Bissonnette will be prosecuted.  Should he be punished?  Is he a traitor or a hero?  Did he leak classified information?  This issue will probably be argued for a decade.

Meanwhile, Colonel Davis sees the book as a lose/lose situation for the Obama administration.
