Hurray, I'm not an elitist conservative afterall

Me, the elitist conservative. NOT. (Lame attempt at a Borat-insider joke).

As I was shuttling the kids to the skating party today I couldn't help but crank "Baby Got Back" by Sir-mix-a-lot and then "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye with my kids in the car. A subtle form of child abuse? Possible. I am one step away from forcing my kids to watching Borat.

(I do see a pattern forming of me forcing my kids to listen to bad 80s music at loud volumes. I am concerned. I realize that I usually listen to NPR except for the weekends when even though I claim Nordic/Lutheran roots I can't bring myself to listen to a Prairie Home Companion.)

All kidding aside, I am still considering a public school education for my kids. My biggest fear is not really the other Borat-watching kids but a school system driven by teaching kids to take the WASL test. One day I will make a longer post on my feelings on education. In the meantime the Borat posts seem to be getting the biggest spotlight on my blog.

And on another unrelated note, it is good to see one of my high school friends has entered the blogosphere. Welcome Cheryl. Once again we share publishing space together, this time the blogosphere, not The Helm.
