congrats to Maine South on their big 8A victory. Let me know if you need a copy of the game footage, which I haven’t reviewed yet.

I have not been back to the State in almost 10 years (the stop for gas on a rainy Easter Sunday 2006 does not count), and I will probably have similar feelings like you did if I were to do a similar memory lane tour of Normaltown.

Unfortunately, not much has changed at Marist. I share the same sentiments as you regarding how you feel about the school and, believe me, there are plenty more out there as well.

I agree completely, and said as much in the post … I know we’ve got heads of family who are barely getting by … not to mention teachers who used to be the second wage earner in the family, and now are the primary wage earner because their spouse lost their job. Not to mention … while the pay increases are certainly higher than most jobs (and the economy), there are plenty of times in the strong economy that teachers don’t receive very high wage increases.

However, from the standpoint of the average non-teacher, looking at 4+% salary increase per year in an economy which is the worst in most peoples’ memory, it can look to be excessive. All I’m saying is: to the average person, the unwillingness to part with a little money in a time of dire need can come across as looking selfish … and whether the truth be that or otherwise, perception is the truth that people internalize.

To be fair, the series has also established most of the wars of the past 30 years to have been caused by aliens infiltrating the governments of the world … so based on that, W. is pretty much a reptile too.

Oh, goody! A head start on what FOX news will be covering for the next week:

“Could the President be an alien? Not just from another country, but actually another PLANET? He still hasn’t shown us his birth certificate…”

“Reptilian Overlords on TV support universal health care–Nancy Pelosi does the same, eerie coincidence or more science fact than fiction? The answer may shock you–Glenn Beck investigates”

(rolls eyes) Thanks, ABC…
