The Age of Infirmity

Now Is the Time for All Good Kindergarten Teachers to Come to the Aid of their Country

I understand that helping to moderate the next two debates—if they happen— will be a dark, dangerous and dirty job, but I have no doubt that the kindergarten teachers of America would step up and volunteer to perform their civic duty.
