Quote of the day

DIA:

"I don't recall ever having a sitting president addressing schoolchildren. For major events, maybe, but not the first day of school. The whole thing makes me angry as an American."

—Andrew Palomo, the parent of a student at Barrington Middle School in Illinois, panicking about the president's planned address to schoolchildren on September 8th. George H.W. Bush actually addressed schoolchildren in a national broadcast 18 years ago. It's odd what makes people angry these days.
