i kinda want a greenhouse

i read this article about a new green magnet school in new haven, connecticut, and i have to admit that my first thought was something like "oh, those white kids always get the cool schools!" *sucking teeth* turns out, though, that for once the typical conclusion was an incorrect one-- the kids in the pictures are brown like me! yay! horticulture is awesome, and i love that these students (and really, i would be happy for any students, regardless of race) have the chance to learn how to love the environment.

yay for good school experiments. they don't come along often enough.

children draw the presidential candidates

ah, stephen colbert. a white guy i like.



reasons why this video rocks:

1) i love "super obama." he's larger than the earth!
2) ummmm, did you know who the presidential candidates were when you were in 2nd grade? there is something so. amazing. about this race. i can't believe that children who have just learned to write can articulate the positions of different politicians. maybe this means we will have a truly engaged electorate in the future? let's hope, shall we?
