http://www.polimom.com/so-whos-polimom-anyway
Polimom’s identity has always been shrouded in secrecy, and that’s led to a great deal of fun for me — but there’s really nothing to hide, I promise! It’s more a matter of personal space than anything else, and in all honesty, telling you my “real” name wouldn’t enlighten you very much. Perhaps you’re curious about my credentials?

Polimom Says » Saddam Hussein’s execution: an American irrelevancy
http://www.polimom.com/2006/12/30/saddam-husseins-execution-an-american-irrelevancy
Two guys walk into a bar…. Saddam Hussein’s execution: an American irrelevancy. Saturday 30 December 2006. So They hung him. Saddam Hussein was a vicious, brutal tyrant who ordered the murders of thousands of his own citizens; a soulless beast that the world will not miss. From the NY Times. The tone of the Times article is one of consternation; they seem to be stunned that the execution took place so quickly after the sentence was upheld. I’m equally surprised at their raised eyebrows. The...But that...

Polimom Says » What’s the goal of public education?
http://www.polimom.com/2007/01/30/whats-the-goal-of-public-education
Politicizing the end of the world. A dropout crisis in the Lone Star State. What’s the goal of public education? Tuesday 30 January 2007. Every time I approach the question of education or reform, I find that people respond from many different directions, with radically diverse assumptions.
