Quick Aside
Many articles both here and on The Francis Blog discuss how politicians/journalists will sometimes push for ineffectual laws claiming, "Vote for me, I want to protect your kids."
Whenever I hear something like that, I picture the "Much Apu About Nothing" episode of the Simpsons where they form a Bear Patrol and Maude Flanders runs around screaching, "Please, WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!?!"
Anyone else?
Just me?
Oh well.

Thanks for the shout-out. The comically named "No Child Left Behind Act" is the zenith of this phenomenon: clearly, anyone voting against it is pro-child-behind-leaving.
I figured another shout-out was appropriate, as only a mere 97% of known readers are aware of your blog.
(Don't ask me to explain that statistic, Raul is uncomfortable with his condition.)
