Maybe you should stop taking their money then

The WEA (Washington Education Association), like its national sister, is highly political. As Dino Rossi is amping up his campaign for governor of Washington, the WEA’s trashing his name on the airwaves, stating that Dino Rossi took money away from teachers.

Updated Librarything

Last week I updated my Librarything page with more books from my personal  library, along with some books I’ve read recently.  I tried to put some code in a widget to have thumbnails of the books show up here but I didn’t do it correctly.  Any pointers on how to make it work? Note:  my Librarythings [...]
