I missed three. I can live with that.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

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.

Amy Carter went to public school. She apparently had a whole lot of trouble making friends with the kids there, and she wasn't allowed to play outside during recess, because the Secret Service couldn't secure the playground, which was just a few feet from the sidewalk.

Perhaps one of my favorite facts about Sidwell: the elementary school kids bring in vegetables each week to make soup for homeless people, and then they compost the vegetable scraps to use around the school grounds.
