Biffle's thoughts on the brouhaha in Washington state.

Dear Biff,

Personally, the insulting of a group of people as a whole saying they'd be lousy neighbors is more of a concern to me than Richard Petty and alcohol. Richard can speak up. The fans have less of a voice. But I love you anyway, because your response was articulate, smart and came from a place of knowledge versus a place of ignorance (like those legislators).

Pardon the Interruption

Truly scary, or truly inspiring?

Sitting in front of me is a "press release". I call it that tentatively, mainly because, in my seven years in public relations, I've never seen a press release that includes lyrics from Sister Sledge.

Some poor woman, who undoubtedly believes her writing is iconic and inspiring, has written a manifesto for distribution to the local news media regarding issues facing probationary teachers. Unfortunately, the manifesto has a nautical theme.

Probationary teachers, sailing and Sister Sledge. And she honestly thinks she'll be taken seriously.

(If you're scratching your head and highly confused, don't worry. I've read the manifesto and have yet to make sense of it. Just know that the teachers are looking for treasures at sea, and we are family. That pretty much sums it up.)

Oh! And it includes quotes from Grand Funk Railroad (per a coworker).
