Good Friday...Six Weeks Away

In an effort to be sooo politically correct, our omniscient school board last year deemed this coming Good Friday as a normal school day. Even Susan Valdes hurumphed, “I’m a constitutional officer and I must defend our constitution.” Like yeah, like she’s ever read it.

Even the usually sharp Candy Olson mumbled something about, “kids will just go to the mall, not to church.”

Two years ago, forty per cent of employees and students missed school. School buses did not run on schedule, classrooms were combined….and little learning took place.

In this early and purely anecdotal prediction, the same will happen this year. Every day that goes by, more employees tell me they are not working this Good Friday, April 2.

And we are over six weeks away????

Two years ago, our school district was lucky. No child was hurt or killed waiting for a bus that was never going to arrive.

Let’s pray our arrogant school board is equally lucky!

Sauerkraut

Back in 2006, just after April Griffin filed for election, one of her first campaign contributions was from the Schitzlehaus Restaurant . It was only a modest $100 check, but what the heck. Not bad!

My question is: did Sgt Schultz say something at that moment, like, “You know notzing, I know notzing, so how’s the zauerkraut?”

Maybe Miss April simply likes the headcheese, sauerbraten and accordion music.

Of course, coming from a Schmidt house, my family ate some fairly disgusting German foods like blood baloney, zilts (the gelatin from pigs feet), and smelly types of liverwurst. I just wouldn’t pay for them these days.

Wonder if Susan Valdes was joining her for dinner then? I know they both enjoy some schnopps and roast pork.

Maybe they were able to sing "Ve are de schampions" to the uhm-papa- music.
