Much, holy crap folks, too much vitriol has been thrown about concerning Barack Obama's recent comments about Ronald Reagan.

See Video Here

But let's be honest. All three have (GASP!!!) invoked Reagan's name recently enough. And so what?

I thought I'd take a break from all the candidate diaries, the bickering, and racially charged arguments that have taken place over the past few days to tell you all what I think is a pretty great story. I got to witness something pretty special today.

These days, I teach at a high school that is quite diverse in Everett, Washington which is south of Seattle. We have a unique policy of respect at our school. We insist upon it. We live it. Or we try. MLK is incredibly important to us.

Today, we were honored and privileged to have as our keynote speaker Civil Rights giant, Julian Bond.

Greetings all,

Years ago I wrote spin and press releases in politics. I also did advance, which is creating media events. I was effective enough with my candidate (Tsongas) in '92, that Bill Clinton offered me a job doing the same. I turned it down. I was burned out and I thought at the time his libido (to put it in the mindset I had at the time) would be problematic. I thought he'd win and make a good president but likely be shrouded in controversy. I hate that I was right.

Today, I am a high school English teacher and a registered Independent.

After months of looking, discussing, and arguing, I gave my seniors a little survey to see where they stood on the upcoming Democratic Caucus/Republican Primary in our state of Washington on February 9...
