For those who haven't heard it yet, my favorite Kristofferson song will always be "Sister Sinead." The organizers of the concert sent him on to pull Sinead O'Connor off the stage when she was being booed, and instead he offered her the perfect support. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HwW...

What's so depressing about the backlash is that working to match new immigrant groups to communities that are struggling due to the loss of the homegrown young is exactly what we should be trying to do. The new groups fill job gaps, care for seniors, and their kids fill empty schools.
Classic moon.
Congratulations and good luck!
I can never stop teaching Flannery O'Connor's "Everything That Rises Must Converge" because I have so many fantastic examples of students making every classic writing error possible, and then other examples of students *avoiding* same error! It took 15 years to build all these handouts!
I first remember him for supporting Sinead O'Connor when she was getting all the blowback from her SNL appearance. Master class in how to ally.
Me to my students: Many Bothans died to bring you this handout containing samples from previous student homework that illustrate the common mistakes that many of you will want to make on this assignment. Observe their failures closely to avoid sharing their dark fate. My students: *silent hatred*
That would be pretty amazing.
I really liked how they wrote her on SNW. I hope that she wrote Spock a super insincere condolence card when his relationship with Chapel imploded basically immediately. "I have been informed that the woman you left me for has dumped you. How unfortunate for you. Weather continues to be lovely."
