Al Franken’s in the Senate and Sen. Robert Byrd is out of the hospital. I was thinking maybe it’s time for some intransigent Republicans to review whether they really want to cross the Democrats. And then I came across this photo. Somehow, it’s symbolic.
In any case, it’s a great photo.
Well, technically it's a mule, and not a jackass, but sometimes I worry that Thomas Nast couldn't tell the difference. Mule at a Georgia petting zoo - Photo by Lona

We've been soaking in the Bathtub for several months, long enough that some of the links we've used have gone to the Great Internet in the Sky.
If you find a dead link, please leave a comment to that post, and tell us what link has expired.
Thanks!

My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

It was the “McKinley Mules?” Wow! Who would want to give that up?
Of course, the tiger is one of America’s most endangered animals . . .

My school just changed the mascot from the storied mule associated with William McKinley to the overused tiger. Whatup? I feel like that mule looks.

The subtitle should be, perhaps, “Mitch McConnell’s nightmare.” Or substitute Newt Gingrich, or John Boehner, or Rush Limbaugh.
