Recent readings of the U.S. Constitution at Fairport & Pittsford libraries. Good feedback from both but mostly, the librarians informed other librarians. We're getting active requests from libraries now!
Next target needs to be local pubs. The Constitution goes down a lot smoother with a nice ale.

Suggestions please.
I'm planning some guerrilla readings of the U.S. Constitution in Rochester, NY. I'll be using the script from our mp3 at thegreatcollaboration.org. 2 people: one reading the Constitution, the other the annotations.
Msg me if you'd like the script so you can do some yourself.

Is the "nice billionaire" a myth? Is it possible to hoard so much money and still be nice or are the nice billionaires the ones who haven't quite managed to understand the threat that any extreme concentration of wealth imposes?

For my last essay I needed to gather some data. This is the full history of which Party was controlling which branch of U.S. government from Presidents (left) to Congress to SCOTUS (right).
Done w/ it now, but it seems a shame to throw it away.
At least 16 different active political Parties?

"First rate people hire first rate people. Second rate people hire third rate people." That describes a class of people all of whom are significantly more competent than the current President. Who does he hire? How incompetent is it possible to get?
This is what happens when we hire an imbecile.
