Hail to the Chief
Kitty Kennedy gets a second chance.
According to reports, Kitty Kennedy has been re-elected to be president of the District 60 School Board. The vote was unanimous, with Kitty abstaining from voting for herself.

I certainly hope she learned well from those experiences.
As one general officer who addressed the assembled classes at Benning School for Boys put it, “Good judgement is based on experience. Experience is based on poor judgement.”
