Today I taught Obama English.

"Yes, we can!" turns out to be linguistically significant at a Japanese middle school level.

More to come. possibly.

Middle schoolers. They're kinda cool. I admire them when I keep my head enough to remember the context.


ps. also taught myself the Star-Spangled Banner on harmonica. Still sounds pretty bad, though.

-Trials at Gitmo are suspended (first day)
-Order is signed to close Gitmo entirely within the year (second day)
-Bush's "executive privilege" order that allows presidents & other officials (Cheney), past and present, to refuse to disclose subpoenaed documents is overturned (third day)
