Ledes & Limericks. Thursday Februrary 22 2018




From Forbes.

When billionaires adopt the press
And so relieve their fiscal stress
Their motives are as pure as snow
(from Russian steppe or Wall Street floe.)


President Donald Trump on Thursday morning
called for arming select, highly trained, “weapons talented”
teachers to thwart mass school shootings,
arguing it would deter would-be “sicko” shooters.
 From the Wall Street Journal
Instructors who carry a gun
Will make sure that homework is done.
And students who plod
Are shown teacher’s rod,
So back to their books they will run!




The single most important thing you
can do for your family may be the
simplest of all: develop a strong family
narrative.  From the NYTimes
The stories that I tell my kids about their ancestry
Are breathtaking and apt to suffer from hyperbole.
And though my narratives would not hold up in court of law
They give my kids a sense of place and plenty of chutzpah!
