(a classic election-themed post from 7 years ago on this day)
I've mentioned the
skin-crawling voice of the Principal of the school across the street
coming across the PA and sending chills through my body in this forum
once or twice before. I heard him again this morning. It's garbled,
and what he's saying is almost indecipherable, but any person ever
having gone to elementary school would identify it immediately. It's
the voice of ruthless authority. It's the voice of endless, soulless
admonishments. It's the cruel voice of punishment.
The brute
began again on the PA this morning but cut it short - his was replaced
with a different voice: A voice of enthusiasm, of hard work and
confidence. I turned off the NPR morning show playing on the radio and
listened. I caught just a little bit of, "my name is Taylor Brittany
Hannah Ashley Alyssa Kayla Brianna Montgomery, and I'm running for Class
Vice-President. My goals for the Spring Semester include insuring
adequate supplies of chocolate pudding in the cafeteria, longer
recesses, renovated tether-ball courts and more field-trips." I had
heard enough! I know now who has my vote come Election Day!!
Tonight - House of Shields (by request)
bye-ee!
whrr ... clik!
