Little Johnny Down By The Schoolyard: April 2007
http://littlejohnnyinriorancho.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Little Johnny Down By The Schoolyard. Monday, April 30, 2007. I'm Too Popular for My Graduation. This recent letter to the editor in the Albuquerque Journal. Illustrates, once again, the thoughtless and meanspirited tone that dominates every letter or op-ed piece that rushes to the defense of RRPS:. THE GRADUATING class in Rio Rancho has taken on the appearance of a popularity contest, in which the one with the most "invitations" is the winner. Okay, let's review:. Announcements of the date, time, and, i...

Little Johnny Down By The Schoolyard: Whaaaat?
http://littlejohnnyinriorancho.blogspot.com/2007/03/whaaaat.html
Little Johnny Down By The Schoolyard. Saturday, March 31, 2007. The shameless face of bigotry rears its ugly head. I agree with the guy on the Ford advertisements speaking in Spanish, and some of the furniture stores do the same. I won't buy from any of them, either. Also, Ned Cantwell's (columns) are very good.". This is just straight-up prejudice. FYI, amigo, Spanish was spoken in New Mexico long before English. I notice Mr. Herron didn't add his two cents to this rant. Posted by little johnny. Like yo...

To Progress in South Sudan. Analysis of current events and economic development in South Sudan. I’ve recently started studying towards a master’s in development studies, which is proving to be enormously time consuming. While I’d hoped to apply some of my coursework to the blog on a regular basis I don’t think I’ll be able to keep it up! I might get the time to do an occassional post, but I can’t promise anything. A lecture with President Kiir’s Economic Advisor. Sabuni was eager to promote the successes...

Little Johnny Down By The Schoolyard: What the...?!?
http://littlejohnnyinriorancho.blogspot.com/2007/04/what.html
Little Johnny Down By The Schoolyard. Saturday, April 14, 2007. Political cartoons exist to attack the system, speak truth to power, skewer the Man. The cartoon above barely begins to address the situation between the buffoons at RRPS and the Rio Rancho High School families who have been cheated out of seeing their seniors graduate. The pomp and circumstance they expected has turned into smoke and mirrors thanks to RRPS. Who weigh in with a nasty editorial. Graduation at The Star is the right decision.

Little Johnny Down By The Schoolyard: What do you think of Gary Herron?
http://littlejohnnyinriorancho.blogspot.com/2007/03/what-do-you-think-of-gary-herron.html
Little Johnny Down By The Schoolyard. Thursday, March 29, 2007. What do you think of Gary Herron? The following OpEd piece appeared in the Rio Rancho Observer. Psst, buddy. Who needs 4 tickets? What’s the best whine to serve this spring? How about “Why can’t Rio Rancho have graduation at The Pit? Could this be any more tiring? As my favorite fictional detective, Adrian Monk, would say, “Here’s the thing.”. Now that we’ve got a gorgeous venue, it became a no-brainer: Have the ceremonies there. I usually t...

Little Johnny Down By The Schoolyard: 50 Relatives
http://littlejohnnyinriorancho.blogspot.com/2007/03/50-relatives.html
Little Johnny Down By The Schoolyard. Friday, March 30, 2007. One reason I woke up yesterday and got my blog on was the barely veiled contempt some people have for large families. That really pisses me off. When you start talking about someone's family, you are crossing a line. That's just common sense and basic courtesy. Well, why do they all have to come? Can't you leave some at home? To even ask those questions is to remove all doubt as to who you really are: a slack-jawed yokel. To Sue Cleveland said.

Little Johnny Down By The Schoolyard. Thursday, March 29, 2007. Here's a situation which, on the surface, appears to be a simple change of venue. But just below the surface lies a power play that requires the sacrifice of many for the benefit of the few. Rio Rancho High School. Home of the Rams, New Mexico State 5A Basketball Champs, has the largest graduating class in the state. Normally, their graduation ceremony would take place in The PIT. The world-famous University of New Mexico athletic arena.
