CCR's “Midnight Special” is a prayer and a hymn, a warning and a love story. Rosie’s gone to see the governor with a piece of paper in her hand—that’s love—and she desires nothing more than to free her man. Be forewarned: if you gamble or fight in Houston, the same fate awaits you. The sheriff is duty bound to lock you up and throw away the key. All the Rosies in the world ain’t gonna convince the guv’nor or the warden that you should roam the countryside as a free man.

Why else would Democrats be circling the wagons?

@sentdefender You're usually pretty interesting, but stop posting shit like this with zero evidence that it's real.

@atrupar Bash wants to forget the hidden government of bureaucrats.

@walterkirn Grumpy Old Men

@NewJerseyOAG You can be a political crusader and be stupid at the same time. Matt Platkin is the living, breathing proof. #DumbAss #BlindedByIdeology

@naomirwolf Aw, just stop it.

@JenniferEValent You're blinded by politics. Think critically, if you're able to, about the greed, lawlessness, arrogance, and deceit he's railing against. To put it another way, I'm curious to know who in DC has a moral compass, according to your standards.

@AliceFromQueens One of my dad's favorite sayings: "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out."

@jonfavs Jon is out of touch just enough to think that people don't get hit with late fees and overdraft penalties. Hey, Jon, can you lend me a few bucks? DM me.

@CaitlinPacific Do you have a guess as to how many people can run wildly through your private information under the guise of, uh, hey, I'm a bureaucrat? Seriously. I don't think this kid is "ransacking" anything. He's looking for data.

Here’s an idea: get rid of “policy wonks” and make legislators do their job.

@JamesAFurey Actually, we need to start with content. History teachers who learn history, and English teachers who learn English. Forget about licensure, forget about PD, and forget about the education departments in universities.

@SirJeremyLondon

Why do the stupidest among us always end up in Congress?

@JamesAFurey I'm an anomaly in my HS because I wear a tie and sport coat every day. Even kids don't know what to think. Join the club.

@Beanie0597 The whole PD thing, and licensure that requires credit hours that have NOTHING to do with content, is a racket.

@totalizingtrial @stillgray Want the NYT in the office? Buy your own goddamn newspaper.

@AdamsOrArdor The Stranger is also an easy read. I'll be teaching it to a ninth grade honors class in the coming weeks.
