TSA don’t know nothing about geography
Does this make you feel safer? A TSA agent did not recognize a District of Columbia drivers license and did not know it is part of the United States.
When Gray handed the man his driver’s license the agent demanded to see Gray’s passport. Grays told the agent he wasn’t carrying his passport and asked why he needed it. The agent said he didn’t recognize the license. Gray said he asked the agent if he knew what the District of Columbia is, and after a brief conversation Gray realized the man did not know.
What was unfortunate for this particular agent was that the individual he questioned also happened to be a television news reporter.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Don’t know much geography
Don’t know much psychology
Don’t know if I’ll keep my job
As the reporter raises merry hob
But I do know 1 and 1 is 3
That’s the Obama economy
Don’t know DC from a tree
Doncha’ all feel safe with me?
Elementary school dropout? How can an American citizen not know where the District of Columbia is, what are they teaching these kids, forget this question, geography has been replaced by global warming studies! government and civics has been replaced by diversity classes, I forget.
LOL. Nice poetry, Blair.
Thanks. The post title reminded me of the Sam Cooke song.
Yeah, it ain’t like the old days. Common Core (as in to core an apple) seems to be taking the education out of our schools and replacing it with indoctrination (which makes an olive a better analogy than an apple).
