Uncle Jay

09/04/2008

My friend Jim send us a link to Uncle Jay Explains - specifically Congressional recesses. I had a good laugh at the film and thought that it might get people thinking about the quality of effort that our government has been giving us lately. I think most people - regardless of political affiliation - would support the position that our government has not been serving us well. The incompetence of the Executive seems obvious, but I also think that the legislative branch has done a poor job as well. And, I don’t buy into the excuse that it’s because of the current split, partisan, office-holders. If you agree, vote in some change. Experience seems over-rated when the quality of the performance is so poor. 

Thanks for this!  That was great....but thanks to you and Jim, I probably won’t get any work done.  There are way too many videos on that site to watch.

Haha - yes! Some are better than others, but I’ll probably use one or two as examples in class this year. It is hard t pull away once he gets you thinking about a few things. I think there’s some good topic selection there…
