The Doctrine of Preemption

In the spirit of the upcoming inauguration, and on the last day when the "Doctrine of Preemption" will be a guiding principle behind US policy, I'm posting this photo and taking ownership of this event before any of my students find out this photo is on the web.

Yes, that is me next to my friend Marcus Divita roaming the halls of Green Mountain High School dressed for "twin day" or some such nonsense.  Yes, that is my real hair, and, no, we were not fans of Wham!  Depeche Mode, Aha, and Duran Duran, but not Wham!.  Never Wham!.  Thanks to Marcus for bringing back these happy, carefree days.  I wish I still had the shirt.

In a further tribute to tomorrow, I seem to recall Marcus and I running for student body president and vice president, respectively.  At least, I think that was Marcus.  In any event, we didn't win, saving the world from our fledgling political careers.  We are better off with Barack and Joe.

To tomorrow!

you look like a couple of "Coreys" and not the tolerable one. Lost Boys of the 80's is there a tolerable one?
