I always liked President Ford. He came up with the idea of the Earned Income Tax Credit that Ronnie Raygun claimed as his own. Ford’s greatest, and most unrecognized contribution, was as an ex-President. He repeatedly warned his own party about its dangerous slouch toward extremism and theocracy. Would that they had listened!

Dead Link?
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.
