Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Weekend: sleep, lesson plans, grading, read a book, catch up on some work, go see a show. I should go to the Homecoming dance tomorrow night. Since the evil principal asked, though, I don't feel like it. Maybe it will annoy him.

I'm on the BB so I can,t link, but did you see about the kids in Mississippi who were threatened with suspension for talking about Obama? It was the basketball coach and the bus driver, not the administration, and sounds like they're being dealt with, but still.

You know, I've insulated myself from a lot of the nastiness. I know it is out there, but...nope, can't go there.

All the high schools in Duval County were beefed up with extra security all this week because of fears of violence related to the election.
I hate this freakin' town.

Daisy, I'm so sorry.
I have a four day weekend, b/c my EDO is on Monday, and Tuesday is a holiday. I was supposed to the country and viist a friend, but stuff came up with her, and now it's not happening. So, I don't know what the weekend brings...
Tonight I am so tired I think I may go to bed soon, and bed before midnight is unheard of for me.

Daisy, may you find another awesome job soon.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
We had rednecks in the parking lot on Wednesday racing around waving McCain flags and yelling his name and cursing Obama. Then a mom checked her kids out on Wednesday because she was worried about race issues and her kids possibly getting jumpped. There were some fights between Obama supporters/McCain supporters in a couple classes.
I'm not surprised, though. One of the towns in this county will not tolerate blacks to live there. Realtors won't even show a black family a home in Homosassa (particularly Old Homosassa). In the 60's they tried to desegregate the elementary school there and the parents burned the school to the ground. The rebuilt school is still segregated (they claim it is because of geography).
This area is about 30 minutes from Brooksville. It used to be a regional headquarters for the KKK.
I hate this place. Sometimes it is a bit scary, too.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The good thing about Obama winning means that threats to him will be investigated by the Secret Service. So I hope the assholes who suggested dragging behind a truck get a visit from beefy dudes in suits with guns.
