Spell, how about write. "...distract from any current affairs...". "Any"? Really you want him to pay attention to all affairs of a current nature. "...this blog is just flimflam for you to claim an active roll in listening..." I suppose it could be a flimflam to make people think you are listening. Or a flimflam that lets you claim to be listening. But they must be learning from the war hero. "I look forward to having a direct conversation with you about the future of the New School,". Direct. If comunicating via a blog is direct, what is an conversation conducted in person or a phone call? "SUPER-DIRECT" Lots of wine at the New School

The New School sucks. I was an art student at Parsons for the New School BFA that I would get out of it (that's what I paid all that extra tuition for, instead of going to FIT). But the BFA I got out of it was such a JOKE that the French university I applied to later wouldn't even consider it as credit worthy. I was insulted at first, but then I started taking (sophomore) courses in France, and got the point. New School was bullshit. Especially New School for Parsons students. A total sham. And then, when I came back to NY after post-graduation travelling and hoped to brush up on my skills using the free class they offered to us when I enrolled back then, the deal was off. It was like going back to the dealership and being told to just go get a new car for all they care. They said, "the new administration doesn't offer that anymore." Not to mention whatsisface didn't even support Obama! I look at my alma mater and think, what a loser!

If this blog is a "flimflam for [Kerry] to claim an active role in listening to what faculty and students have to say.", then why does he write it like an IBM 8086? I mean the guy has all the charm and humanitas of an automatic door opener.
