  Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm in a good mood despite all evidence and reasoning to the contrary. I'm on my way to Dallas tomorrow, "home of big hair and big ladies" according to KP. So things are lookin up! I'll be doing the toe-touch thing that the NYTimes got in all that trouble for, just landing in town to get the out of state dateline. That's me, cub reporter. It's not really that glamourous, and nobody cares how long I'm in Dallas, except the bosslady cause I'm never in the office and I'm still supposed to be writing articles. I added a bunch of band links, since I saw a lot of great people when I was home. This was one of the first trips where I really wanted to stay longer instead of making everyone move out here.
Akron is getting cooler or something. Dead Low Tide and DW will save me, two people to put faith in. Watch those two. On topic (THE MEDIA and how much it generally sucks), did anybody see Lou Dobbs tonight? He had a special report on CNN about how inner city kids get the worst teachers. It's how he phrased it. But the report is flawed. Ok, so inner city schools get teachers that are just out of college, or from liberal educations with no certification.
But whose to say that young, creative, inexperienced people are any less suited to teach than the old bags that have been rattling around your high school for the last thirty years, giving the same stupid dittoes and quizzes without thinking about them since the beginning of time? I think that this shit works, and messing around with it will be about as successful as "No Child Left Behind".
