Smart, Entertaining Reads from People I Know

I started this morning off the way I usually do by browsing a couple of "my sites." It's a way I ease into the work day. I should probably just go right into work so that I can leave sooner, but I know that once I get going there is no turning back. So I prefer to slowly get going. I think I've always sort of been like that. More of the guy that slowly eases into the pool or the ocean vs. the guy that dives right in to the freezing ocean water.

I digress. This morning in my web roundup I read an entertaining rant by Karl. It's on education. It's very smart, true and somewhat cynical. You should check it out. When I read it, it made me want to email it to an old professor of mine who blogs about education. So I go over to his website and find this little gem about politics in our country. He doesn't usually blog about politics, but what he said is also smart and true. And it made me think, "I know some smart and entertaining people with clever thoughts and ideas, and I like that. I should blog about it and pass this stuff on to my 4 readers." And so I am.
