QOTW — What to Read This Summer?

5 Comments
QOTW = Question of the Weekend. So it is officially summer and I know some folks will try to catch up on their reading while the world slows down a little. Sometimes the reading is in taking up a challenge (like the Infinite Summer group reading Infinite Jest, or last summer's OccupyGaddis group) or just moving something long intended to the top of the stack or some new summer blockbuster (there's a new Dan Brown out) or escaping to some spy or romance world. So do we have any summer readers here?

QOTD — A Modest Proposal on Legislator Pay

11 Comments
I saw this proposal on Facebook the other night and -- frankly -- this makes sense to me. If we are focused like a laser beam on compensating teachers for effectiveness (and for effectiveness over factors they can't always control), why not compensate legislators the same way? What do you think?

QOTD — Why Is the NJ Still Paying Attention To This Woman?

3 Comments
This question is courtesy of commenter AQC. And the woman in question is Lenore Matusiewicz, the wife of the man who shot their grandchildren's mother at the NCCo Courthouse. It looks from here that the NJ is basically a venue for pretty much every antic this woman is working on. Today's antic are claims that the the State of Delaware is withholding her husband's body from her and withholding the autopsy report. Insert eye rolls here.
