We're No Longer Thugs!

What's in a word? Plenty. Kyle Olson has consistently labeled good, hardworking teachers, citizens, parents, and taxpayers "thugs" by listing them at his "Thug Watch" blog at the EAG website.

But last Tuesday's election--an election that saw the public repudiate hate politics in elections from local to state to national--must have shocked and awed Olson into a sobering epiphany. Just scant days after the election the EAG "Thug Watch" blog has now been renamed "Reform Watch."

It's a rather appropriate title, given how the public "reformed" and "informed" right-wing hate politics and politicians last Tuesday.

It looks like many entitities, big and small, are doing some thoughtful soul-searching after getting a loud-and-clear message from the American public last Tuesday. Even Olson appears to have taken note.
