I’ve been doing that BBQ thing all day, but it looks like the only thing I’ve missed is the announcement that July 5th is now Powerful Stupid Day.
re: Civics [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
A totally crazy Saturday-morning thought: Wouldn’t George W. Bush make an awesome high-school government teacher? Wouldn’t it be something if his post-presidential life would up being that kind of post-service service? How’s that for a model? Who needs Harvard visiting chairs and high-end lectures? How about Crawford High? (Or wherever?) Reach out and touch the young before they are jaded, or break them of the cynicism pop culture and possibly their parents have passed down to them. Whatever you think of President Bush, he’s a likable guy in love with his country with some history and experience to share.
Like I said, crazy. Saturday. Have a good one.

I sure am glad that I don’t wake up with powerfully stupid thoughts like this in the morning. I could try to explain the many ways in which Kathryn’s idea here is stupid, but that would actually risk doing serious and long-lasting damage to my thinker thing.
