We have been having some exciting visitors at our school lately! First, it was Tom Kierein (maybe only exciting to an NPR nerd like myself), then Arne Duncan, and tomorrow we have some more.
Our school is absolutely beautiful. Lots of light, bright colors, wide open spaces...and tomorrow we're supposed to be visited by some big right-wing politicians. Among the confirmed is Justice Scalia.
Aside from my surface knowledge of the Supreme Court, most of what I know about Justice Scalia is from my Environmental Law class that I took a long time ago at Williams. Suffice to say, I'm not partial to Justice Scalia. However, Jamie has met him and said he was funny and nice enough (despite being mostly misaligned with our social views), and now he's company to someone who has been very generous to our students...so I guess I'll warm up to him a little.
Justice Thomas -- someone who I will probably never warm up to -- backed out of coming. Even more hilarious is that I heard that DICK CHENEY could possibly be in attendance. I am assuming that is just a rumor because I hadn't heard confirmation that he would actually come. In short, we will be having a lot of right-wing heavy hitters coming tomorrow.
And Barack Obama continues to forsake us. Maybe some day...
