A great way to lose weight

Getting off the plane to Seoul. I felt like I had lost about 10 pounds. So many Koreans are slim in comparison to Americans in general and even with Koreans in America.

It should not take me much time to lose that weight. I've found the perfect diet: Walking around lost in Seoul.

Some diet plans are difficult to follow. You must constantly consult the diet plan to make sure you are following it. But this one is easy:

1) Choose a destination in Seoul.

2) Take the subway there.

3) Walk around for two hours trying to find the place. You may need to reject Koreans offering to help you get to your destination. They are enablers trying to keep you overweight.

By the way, some Korean friends couldn't stop laughing the other day when I described the subway map as looking like someone had stepped on a pretty spider.

Is the SOTU over?

  Some people asked me if I watched President Biden’s State of the Union. Haha! I have seen enough of them. Not just Biden’s SOTU, but SOTUs by US presidents!  Back in 1999, I not only watched President Clinton’s SOTU, but the Cato Institute gave me the task of keeping track of all of President Clinton’s proposals and promises. Since then I have watched few SOTUs, once as a blogger at the invitation of National Public Radio. https://tinyurl.com/3dv5y452  

Volunteering at the school choice rally

Yesterday morning I volunteered at the rally for the Opportunity Scholarship Program. My, how time has flown! Six years ago I was one of the folks who was lobbying Congress to set up the program. Yesterday I met some teenagers who were in the 2 nd and 3rd grades back when we were pushing for the program. Now, some of them are big enough to whip my ass in a fight. So, yes, there is a good reason for these kids to get a quality education. Some of the school choice movement's greatest advocates and political leaders (Virginia Walden Ford, Howard Fuller, Kevin Chavous , Rep. Boehner, former education secretary Spellings, and DC Mayor for Life Marion Barry!) were there yesterday. This group was organized...I wasn't looking, but I bet they walked off the bus in 2s. * * * I had my group line up against the wall. They had a tough teacher with them, believe me, I was saving them by taking control. That was a no-nonsense lady. She wasn't even interested in small talk with me as we w
