[Rhodes22-list] Swing States

[Steve Alm]

Steve,
What? Not that busy?  I don't know what teachers are doing down there in
Arkansas, but when I was teaching, most of my work weeks were 50-60 hours.
It looks like you're the one who is not that busy.  Aren't you supposed to
be analyzing something for our government today?  You're loafing around on
your computer on someone else's dime.  Quit lollygagging at your email and
get back to work and pay your taxes so all them po chillen down there will
have a nice school to go to!
