Just a thought....

Michale

I was referring to the possibility of a Iran supported terrorist attack that kills hundreds of innocent Israelis or, worse (for the deal at least) hundreds of innocent Americans...

If that were to occur NO ONE in Congress would support Obama's kiss-kiss with Iran...

Michale

Assuming things stay the same..

A lot can happen, a LOT can be revealed about the deal between now and then...

Michale

Yea, I caught that after I posted..

Remember that episode of SPIN CITY?? Janitor wins elementary school contest??

"Let's meet him now. From public school 423 in Brooklyn, little Tommy Dugan."
"It's an honor, sir. You know, I could do without the "little" part. That doesn't exactly help with the ladies."

:D

One other thing: I stumbled upon a film I think you would enjoy: "Under the Helmet." It's available on streaming Netflix. Every educator in the country should view it. Every management team.

I'll check it out...

Michale

1) Sen. Barbara Mikulski just became the 34th announced Senator to support President Obama's Iran deal. That means that no matter what happens now, the Iran deal will go through as Congress no longer has the votes to overcome a Presidential veto.

2.) Rick Perry just lost his last campaign staffer in New Hampshire. He now has no campaign organization left at all in that state. I think we can safely assume that Rick Perry will be the first to drop out on the Republican side. What do you think?

Regrettably, "The Contest" is limited to high school students. I hope there is an adult division in future, perhaps amateur and professional subdivisions?

Hard to believe it's actually happening.
Who'd they pay off to get the charter approved?

Publishing the winning entry here is great, but I hope there's a way to read them all!

Stig- grift shop is gold

Yes, you would. It's in Albany! Which is 135 miles from NYC, more or less. About the same to Syracuse (Let's Go Orange, pop. 140K), 90 miles to Utica (pop. 60K), the only town it's really close is Schenectady (pop 66K). Note the trend.

This is former Stig territory, and well marked. It is a beautiful, but grim landscape sculpted by glaciers. You own a set of studded snow tires, mounted on a set of cheap steel wheels. Mounted on a beater car. You have tire chains in the trunk, plus space blankets, a come-along and at least 30 feet of webbing, shovel, 2 days water & rations, down bag, and cat litter for ballast and traction. Winter lasts 6 months. It's always cloudy. Summer is cool, short and rainy. Fall is glorious. Spring is a rumor around Easter. There is a tourist industry of sorts, mostly hunters and fishers. I'm pretty sure this region is the inspiration for The Hunger Games Franchise.

Strictly on the merits, Utica is really the logical home for the Museum. From WikiP:

"Utica's 20th-century political corruption and organized crime gave it the nicknames "Sin City", and later, "the city that God forgot."" That said, I understand the political clout of Albany will win out. In the form of a 30 Billion$ Fed funded 200 mph mag-lev train bringing in the tourists from NYC. Well played, Albany.

I just need to know when to get my submission in.. Heh

Michale

Now THAT is impressive!!

Congrats, CW.... :D

When's the contest end???

Michale

Securing a charter???

Filing paperwork??

Non- profit? Oh dear.... Tax exempt?? Have these educators have no stomach for tax evasion? Tax havens? Tax mavons? Where is the thrill?????!!!!!!

The learning experience gets partially back on track with requiring a bribe to get past the perpetually revolving door, but only if there is a genuine shakedown. Otherwise, it smacks of mere fee for service, like going to the movies (mental note... 4 bucks for a small soda). Something like "Noice backpack pal...pity if somethin' shoid happen to it...oh, how clumsy of me." Don't worry about the edges of their seats, steal their li'l asses off! It's not a good ride if you still have your sunglasses in place when you get off.
