In sharp and stark contrast to Dr. John Covington
There's a news story out today on Yahoo! News about a school superintendent who's in, as I said above, sharp contrast to our soon-to-be-leaving-because-he's-a-rat-deserting-a-ship-and-walking-away-from-his-commitments-and-responsibilities. This guy is--get this--giving back his annual salary of $800,000.00 to the school district even though he'll be running "325 schools and 35 school districts with 195,000 students, all for less than a starting California teacher earns." He is Fresno County (Fresno, California) School Superintendent Larry Powell and quoted saying: "How much do we need to keep accumulating?" asks Powell, 63. "There's no reason for me to keep stockpiling money." To which I have to ask, how do you suppose the Kansas City, Missouri School District could possibly find such a superintendent for our schools?

Oh, that Egyptian President quitting thing? Fugghedaboudit!
Egypt's Mubarak transfers power to vice president
By Maggie Michael, Associated Press
CAIRO – Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced he is handing his powers over to his vice president, Omar Suleiman, and ordered constitutional amendments. But the move means he retains his title of president and ensures regime control over the reform process, falling short of protester demands.

More of us need to call for the Funk's resignation
I see from over at Tony's KC Blog that the KC Tribune has an article just now by Daniel Starling calling for Mayor Funkhouser to resign.
Here, here!
Attaboy!
Good for him!
It won't happen but, really, more of us--out here on blogs, and everyone across the city--should call for this clown to call it a day on his Mayorship.
What a mess.
We've had it.
We have decidedly not become "The City That Works" he promised. Far from it.
Streets unrepaired in good weather--unplowed in bad.
Steel plates on holes.
Bad morale downtown.
Lawsuits left and right.
Heck, he's bad to have just because of the expense of his rule.
Let it be said again: Mayor Mark Funkhouser--and his wife--need to go.
And they should do the honorable, intelligent thing and resign.
They won't but that's what should happen.
