i have the humor of an 11 year old boy.

generally speaking, i am rather (read: completely) apolitical, which is probably why the only thing i have to say about today's iowa caucuses comes from a late nineties HS memory.

we were reading the textbook aloud in my post-WWII american studies class (don't judge - i definitely used that to whittle away many a hour o' education in my former life). we came across the founding of the congressional black caucus. the person reading aloud didn't know how to say caucus. so the teacher had to sound it out for him. slowly. multiple times. seriously. (big) black caucus.

it still makes me snicker.
