And as we say, while taking deep breaths, the effing moron teachers
who call us are the minority.

No, I don't believe the hardworking people I work with are the
exceptions. Until the last couple of years the State Board was immune
to placinjg
Blago's morons, and we really are pretty much highly qualified for
what we do. AND, we'll be lark happy to see the backsides of the
pay-for-play folks.

For what it'sworth, until Blago raised his ugly head, the State Board
was free of all political influence, which is the only reason I ever
got a job there.

We've also voted in people like Everett Dirksen,Paul Douglas, and Paul
Simon. Right now we have a slate of constitutional officers who could
all run for the Senate or governorship with no whisper about their
backgrounds.
