Some really great stuff about Muammar Gaddafi

There is something really good you can say about Muammar Gaddafi without getting into any of the recent ugliness over in Libya.  Kelly tells me that he is one of the funnest and easiest guys in the world to draw.  She did this drawing for me very rapidly.  The other really good thing about him is that you can spell his name just about any way you want and no one gets mad or corrects you because no one else knows how to spell it either.  Really, I wrote this post because I wanted an excuse to put up this really cool caricature that Kelly drew.

U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, visits Wake Techincal Community College

Day 64 of 1000

Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education, will visit Christian’s and Kelly’s school this week for an invitation only town hall.  It is amazing how many dignitaries from the White House, including President Obama himself, have visited Raleigh over the last little while.  It is also amazing how some categories of people are unwelcome at these “non-political” events.  They even seem to be picking up the pace with more visits scheduled all the time.  Renee Ellmers visited Wake Tech last week.  She is the U.S. Representative from the district just south of us who took on Bob Etheridge, the guy who got caught on video grabbing and choking someone who was asking him about his support of Obama’s initiatives.  It is amazing that she walked the campus with the school President and made herself available to everyone.
