A personal blog, named in honor of the novel Petticoat Government by a favorite author, Emma Orczy. The novel is about a fictional woman, Lydie d'Aumont, who attempts to inject some fairness and good governance into the court of France's Louis XVth despite the corruption and selfishness there.

Calm down now...
Now that the Department of Education has fixed its offending materials for teachers (seriously, kids should be "helping" the President? How'd that slip through?), can we all calm down now about President Obama's speech on Tuesday? Even if a parent didn't vote for him and disapproves of just about everything he does as President, he is still the President of the United States. Let him give his short, inspiring speech. A lot of children do need to hear something like that, and to many children he is a hero. You can always "countereducate" at home later if you deem it necessary.
