“The more things change the more they stay
the same.” Ahhh, truer words have never been spoken…or
written, to be precise. Would this not have
been a delightful time for Alphonse Karr to write for the Piedmont Post? A heyday for
the keen satirist!
Didn’t someone in
weeks past predict that Mr. Booker would be the new Superintendent and
therefore why waste taxpayer dollars on the search? I could have sworn I read that
somewhere. I have to say that it was a bit
of letdown after all the drumroll and Ivy League chatter. I was expecting a Leland Stanford and instead
got more of a P.T. Barnum. Go
figure! Why not throw in a couple of
show ponies to sit on the school board and we’d have ourselves a three-ring circus!
But, since we
chose the path of least resistance, I have to wonder if we might just as well
have skipped the faux superintendent search and put the taxpayer dollars to
better use in, say…the classroom. I know,
I’m like a broken record…classroom, classroom, classroom. So boring and yet so crucial to things like...a
school.

P.S.
Two items in last
week’s Post that didn’t make it to the Big Top, but I just had to mention:
1) Do You want To Sleep With Me? Good Christ!! Mr. Wieler, please don’t ever write those words
again. Sheesh!!
22) Mr. Hoag, be assured that my traditional,
wood-burning fireplace soothes my troubled soul at this very moment with it’s
glowing embers. In fact, a wood burning
fireplace is second only to chicken pot pie on my “warm and fuzzy list.” But, surely you’ve read about the
inefficiencies of such a fireplace.
Soul-soothing, indeed, but one of those new-fangled, energy efficient
gas jobs might make your home even more attractive to the
environmentally/health minded types who are buying houses these days. Heck, you might want to install one now while
you still live there so you can enjoy it.
Imbeciles everywhere are doing it! Helpful hint: Imbecile may not be your most effective
choice for addressing the folks at the BAAQMD. Just saying…
