Much ado is "all the rage."
With apologies to Jen Lancaster (Confessions of a condescending, egomaniacal, self-centered Smart-ass, or why you should never carry a Prada bag to the unemployment office).
Another great argument for home schoolin'. You can not watch the President without the distraction of all of your classmates not watchin' him too.
So it's come to this has it? The new black that's all the rage isn't a hue or a shade. It's not even an adjective, it's a noun. It's that guy living with his family in the residence wing of "Old White." This is like all those other crabgrass roots movements, defense of marriage (don’t ask; don’t redecorate), "Mahalo, kenya show me the birth certificate," flagburning's carbon footprint on our souls, the right of the right death panels to bear arms – and did I miss it, or why haven’t we all adopted the custom of prefacing "Tea Party" with "The Mad Hatters’?"
Hey please don’t interrupt when I’m on a roll coining catch phrases here like SSS (subliminally socialist stuff) that the LLLL’s (liberty-lite loving lunatics) are certain the President’s story hour will be rife with, even if they'll find Waldo in the now released text sooner.
One of the disappointments of my life is the relative inability to play back right wing media predictions to them after the fact on their own outlets just to rub it in. Nostrodammit! While there's still time for a principal or two to have an independent objective thought, any chance somebody can start a challenge to have Fox Etc. enumerate the subversive points made? Now that the text is available in advance for scrutiny, would love to see some of these guys get a hernia parsing gas.
So let the backpedaling begin: "Well it never was about the content of the speech. It’s the indoctrination through the Q & A part." Or: "Sure you can’t quarrel with anything he said, but it’s the introduction of politics just by the fact that he’s speaking." Or: "No objection to the President speaking, but at a time of falling grades, can we really afford to lose classroom time on something like this?" Certainly the sons of liberty have every right to an opinion; it’s just that they’d be a little more convincing if so many weren’t still wearing those "I got mine, Jack" smirks left over from the tea parties.
Or better yet, push for a BJR (Bobby Jindal Rebuttal). That ought to look pretty picky -- even to a second grader.
