The Bully Pulpit

If the President of the United States of America, wants to make a start-of-the-school-year address to the nation’s children, then he should be able to. Why? Because he’s the goddamn President of the United States of America. It’s one of the perks of the office. You don’t have to like it, or him, but you have to respect the office.

So, yes, I am a bit peeved that at Lyons Middle School the administrator just kind of took a laissez faire attitude and let the teacher’s decide for themselves and even though the speech occurred during the lunch hour, didn’t even bother tuning the big screen in the lunch room away from the bloody Weather Channel.

My fourth-grader got to watch it at Eagle Heights though. His comment was, “He talked about the same stuff you do, Daddy.” (Wipes tear.).

    Some people………

    Dude, What happened to the world? What happened to civility, decency, equality, etc.

    FOX! That’s what happened. Rupert Muddoc is destroying this country. I thought the Aussies are our allies.

    What’s so funny about peace, love, and understanding?
