Its been hard keeping new posts coming while I’m away from Duluth. I just spent an interesting week in Florida listening to a lot of Fox News and enjoyed the dismay of the bloviators as they scrambled to avoid eating crow over Osama killing Obama. Yeah, and they kept getting the names wrong too.
I’ve got another project, long deferred, that I’m ramping up to work on. It should cut into my own bloviation time much to the relief of my detractors. Much of my energy has been directed at helping the public look at the foibles of our current Superintendent of Schools and since he is deparating, albeit with Ann Wasson clinging to his ankles, a major reason for my ranting will be no more. The Red Plan is here to stay and Duluth will simply have to make the best of it. That includes me.
I have a great deal of sympathy for the new superintendent who will probably earn nearly twice what my last Superintendent was paid a short eight years ago. It will be both waaay too much and waaay too little.
I haven’t had the temerity to tell my better half that I’ve been thinking about running for the school board. Its likely to be as hopeless for the new Board members as it will be for their Superintendent and I say that as a sometimes hopeless optimist. In any event if I did file I’d probably refuse to campaign just to give the DNT another excuse to find fault with me. Like I said I’ve got a major project underway and a serious campaign might derail it.
If I should take the plunge I’ll probably start blogging more but there are few locals who will suffer from my most incindiary posts. I’ll reserve such posts for Fox News and the Red Plan School Board members who might find themselves reelected. Gosh, what an awful thought.
BTW – I may just be hinting at a run for office to give the old Board members sleepless nights. They don’t deserve any rest.
