I shall never curse at another DC motorcade chase again…which is hard since they happen about once a day.

Well, unless it is the afternoon northbound Penn Ave motorcade with those fascist motorcycle police who bang their fists on the hoods of cars manned by hapless driviers who have found themselves caught up in a losing battle they never enlisted in, like so many soldiers in Iraq. That of course would be our VP trying to make it home before the beef stroganoff got cold.

I watched a teacher yesterday encourage 9th graders to begin with MLK’s principles for non-violent social change when they approach their problem/solution projects. The most important aspect of these principles, he reminded them, was “self-purification,” seeing yourself and admitting that you are part of the problem. A little self-accountability (what a concept!). The kids were connecting the principle to hypocrisy– and one student said “no one listens to a hypocrite.”

I hope the “moral majority” has stopped listening to the hypocrites.
