So, an old student of mine messaged me on facebook and asked me what I thought of Sarah Palin’s history lesson on Paul Revere. I had not heard it so I youtubed it. And here it is . . . Needless to say I was a bit horrified. How can you not know that Paul [...]

I hate waiting for a week . . .
Great episode . . . as always of Vampire Diaries. Renbeth was right when she said it was kind of a building episode. It is clearly setting up for future intense things. Here are my thoughts 1)It is about time Jenna found out. It needed to happen. Now everyone knows and we don’t have to [...]
