No enthusiasm gap here ! - Barack Obama
Some on the "liberal" side have said that President Obama is not out making the case for voting this November. This video from last week shows this charge is not true.

Mike Klonsky's SmallTalk Blog: WEEKEND QUOTABLES
Goodbye to all that
I'm not including any notable quotables this week that make any reference to Superman. Fact is, I'm just sick of this daddy of all ed clichés. So if you're waiting for Superman or not waiting for Superman, or think that Michelle Rhee or Geoffrey Canada is Superman, or even Clark Kent, get the hell off my blog and start digging a little deeper for good metaphors. I mean for Christ sakes, the guy wears his underwear on the outside of his leotard.

New Jersey school bus advertising bill advances

TRENTON, N.J.—New Jersey's cash-strapped public school districts are one step closer to being able to raise money by soliciting school bus advertising.
The measure, approved late last month in the Assembly, would allow ads on the outside of buses that districts own or lease.
Districts would set their own ad rates, determine how many ads are sold and their size. But ads for tobacco or alcohol products or ones that push a political agenda would not be allowed.
About half a dozen states, including Colorado, Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, Tennessee and Texas, already allow bus advertising, and a handful more are considering it.
The New Jersey bill requires boards of education to use half the revenue the ads
