Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I got 100% on the quiz, but one or two of them were guesses.

8:40, SW1388. I just forwarded you the email. Your cells still the same as last year?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I missed three. I can live with that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I knew the answer to the first question and decided to back off while I was running 100%. Bouncing around means I wouldn't pass that test for any government. I have no root. Roots. I mean roots.

By the way, miss sara, I think you'd make an excellent ER companion. Now I'm tempted to call.

Sigh. The Obamas picked Sidwell Friends for their daughters' school, and quite a few parts of the internet are going crazy with calling them hypocrites. (Also, amusingly, calling the school "pretentious," which I think is the first time I've ever seen that word applied to Quakers.)

Why is it hypocritical?

Also, isn't that where Chelsea went?

Hypocritical because a president who says he supports public education should be sending his kids to public school, according to these people. And yes, Chelsea Clinton went there. As did Tricia Nixon (before her father became president), and FDR's kids.

Sending the kids to DC public schools would be ridiculous, for security reasons alone. Also, the DC public school system administration is currently in the process of imploding.

edit: And, yes, Sidwell is incredibly expensive, and does have a lot of kids of the powerful. Which is making some people cry "elitist."

That's kind of what I thought.

But seriously, they're the First Kids. Obama's got enough on his plate: do we really insist that he and his wife be distracted by the difficulties of making their kids poster-children for public education? They can do a lot more to support public education by ensuring it gets funded and supported, rather than disrupting the local public school with Secret Service and all that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

President Santos sent his kids to public school.

Oh, sure, fine, life on TV is different.
