i found this to be an interesting story. i agree with both, that partisan ideology needs to be put aside.

and i give it no more than 5 posts in this thread before partisan bickering starts.

but seriously, if these two can work together anyone can. and it is my firm belief that is what must happen for this country to move forward on any issue. to put aside the bickering and find common ground and compromises.

WASHINGTON – Education Secretary Arne Duncan is joining forces with two unlikely allies, the Rev. Al Sharpton and Republican former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, to push cities to fix failing schools.

The trio will visit Philadelphia, New Orleans and Baltimore later this year. They plan to add more stops as their tour progresses.

"These are cities that have real challenges but also tremendous hope and opportunity," Duncan told reporters on a conference call Thursday.

The idea came from a meeting they had with President Barack Obama in May at the White House.

Time for me to schedule a bunch of travel. The universe has clearly begun collapsing on itself.
