More on the changes to Texas school books: Removing Jefferson From History, Ctd
In her recent profile of the Texas Board of Education, Mariah Blake mentions the woman who pushed to remove Jefferson:
After the 2006 election, Republicans claimed ten of fifteen board seats. Seven were held by the ultra-conservatives, and one by a close ally, giving them an effective majority. Among the new cadre were some fiery ideologues; in her self-published book, Cynthia Dunbar of Richmond rails against public education, which she dubs “tyrannical” and a “tool of perversion,” and says sending kids to public school is like “throwing them into the enemy’s flames.” (More recently, she has accused Barack Obama of being a terrorist sympathizer and suggested he wants America to be attacked so he can declare martial law.)

Now if I could just get my toe to heal enough to be able to wear shoes again, I'd be even happier.
Man I forgot how annoying cats can be.

That's why they look so cute. It offsets the annoying and you don't end up killing them.
Mine was snuggled up next to me in bed last night and decided that my upper arm looked muy tasty and started to lunge for it with her teeth. That got her booted off the bed.
