For those who don't "get" the photo: Wisconsin Guv Scott (I'm an idiot) Walker is trying to balance his state's budget on the backs of teachers and other public servants. Tens of thousands of people - including my two daughters - have been demonstrating at the state capitol building for the last two weeks. The "Egyptian" sign carried by the young man- who was no doubt out of school because his mom the teacher was demonstrating - alludes to the recent demonstrations, and ultimate overthrow of a dictator, in Egypt. An apt comparison, correctamundo?
Ohio fell today. Our "Wisconsin" measure passed, with plenty of backdoor dealing by the republicans. My heart is broken. I can't escape fast enough. When did I become The Enemy? I am a teacher.

Should have had another sign reading 'if you can spell Egyptian... thank a teacher.'

Now I got it! Thanks!!
