Once again we are told there is a teacher shortage.

Perhaps if we didn't stress them out so bad or treat them like garbage, as I went through when I lived in Nevada, there wouldn't be a problem.

Obituary:  Former South Carolina Ernest Hollings, a mere 97, a credit to the Democratic Party, has died.  I liked him a lot.  Take a look at this statistic or fun fact:

Together, they were the nation’s longest-serving Senate pair from one state. When Mr. Thurmond died in 2003 at 100, he had been the Senate’s longest-tenured member after 48 years in office. Moreover, Mr. Hollings was junior senator for 36 years, itself a record, and his tenure of 38 years and 55 days, including more than two years fulfilling the term of a senator who died in office, made him the eighth longest-serving senator.

Mr. Thurmond, a Democrat who switched to the Republican Party, never relented in his opposition to full equality for black Americans. Mr. Hollings, while remaining a fiscal conservative, evolved into a social moderate, riding winds of change that swept the South as proponents of civil rights won court cases, staged protests and endured brutalities that shocked the nation’s conscience.
