Rahm Emanuel was on Megyn Kelly’s show last night. He is an old-school Democrat who doesn’t sound crazy. He used to be in Congress and was the mayor of Chicago.
Emanuel was talking about education, and was listing his four policies. “T is for technology…A is for attendance…..R is for reading…”
Rahm talks a lot, but he had my attention. Where is he going with this? If the fourth item is “D is for discipline”, he might get my vote.
Rahm Emanuel’s Technology, Attendance, Reading and Discipline policy.
Sparky has a search and rescue mission. He is very thorough.
I’m proud of Sparky for staying focused after his first chair failure.

Chemistry can seem like magic, so know the cost. In engineering terms, “everything is a trade off.” This substack article addresses RFK’s interest in fluoride.
The battle over fluoride has been raging for longer than I have been alive, dating as far back as the 1930s. While the scientific basis for opposing fluoridization may have changed, the arguments to a large degree remain unchanged.
I’m hungry. And lazy.
Everybody makes a big deal about cooking a brisket, so I wanted to give it a try.
Sparky is having a rough morning.
By mid-afternoon yesterday, Sparky was feeling frisky again. He thought I was a dope for misreading the dead mouse situation. Sparky filled me in.
Stephen Colbert’s Late Show is getting cancelled, and his competitors aren’t doing much better. Broadcast networks may as well go back to a test pattern at midnight, and just sign off until morning.
While I was on the computer this morning, Sparky came by. I thought he wanted to come up and chat, but he had something else in mind.
Imagine how difficult it must be to live with the compulsion to change “Baby” to “Diaper” on these changing stations that are in every store.
The guy has a point. After using this equipment, it’s a different diaper on the same ol’ baby. He should probably find a more fulfilling hobby.
Note: I understand and endorse the cultural norm that prohibits taking a photo in a restroom, but this photo seemed warranted.
