Saturday Night Live: "ASU, yes. U of A, no."

In case you missed it, SNL did an Obama stimulus parody this weekend and mentioned U of A.

(Go to about 1 minute 10 seconds left and you'll hear the reference).

It's funny, but in all seriousness, it should serve as a little reminder that the Arizona state legislature has the power to exclude us from benefiting from the stimulus package. When was the last time you e-mailed your represntative? (Links to appropriations committee members and to the azleg website are on the left-side column of this blog.) It takes about 30 seconds to give them a little piece of your mind and it feels pretty good to tell them about the importance of quality public education in our state.
