Obama's First Year: It Ain't No Crystal Staircase

By Robert Borosage
November 5, 2009

Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor --

But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners...
—Langston Hughes

Dyslexia is NOT a Disorder

Dyslexia is NOT a Disorder

Nerds love to label things. We like to give things names and put them in boxes so we know where they go and what to do with them.
