I really dug it is what I'm saying
One of my favorite things is reading something that's so totally right on that I cheer. Out loud. Like, I'm sitting there quietly with my book or magazine or whatever, and then I'm standing up saying "Hell YEAH! You tell 'em, Anna Quindlen! You tell 'em like it is!" and everyone in the immediate vicinty gives me these looks as if to say A. this is a public coffee shop and you yelling is breaking the appropriate social order and B. Anna Quindlen is not even here thus you are talking to yourself in said public coffee shop which is not unlike a crazy person and to them, to them I say, "Your social order can suck it, my friend, 'cause this--" and here I shake my copy of Newsweek with Anna Quindlen's badass article at them-- "needs to be read, nay, LAUDED by the masses and then perhaps the world will be a more joyful place!"
I swear, if I made more money on my teaching salary, I'd send Ms. Quindlen a bottle of Dom.

And, uh, oh yeah! Teaching is great! I'm not just leaving a comment to give you that link. Nope.
Happy Secular Holidays.

that is indeed a great article. you could send her you know what you can afford instead of dom and explain that's all your teacher's salary will pay for. :)

Oh, and yeah, that article is bad ass. I'm going to print out a dozen copies and leave them anonymously in the teacher's lounge at my kid's school. They're renegotiating their contract right now. I think I should probably send one to the superintendent and the principal, too, huh?
