eduwonkette’s Halloween parade last year was such a big hit, it’s time for a reprise. Because she’s on the road, skoolboy (who lacks her Photoshop chops) is at the wheel. Please post suggestions for parade participants and their costumes below, or e-mail them to me at skoolboy2 (at) gmail (dot) com. This year, participants will be on floats. There could be a big-city mayor float, with mayor-for-life Mike Bloomberg and Adrien Fenty; big-city superintendents, such as the ever-popular Joel Klein, Michelle Rhee, Arne Duncan, and Paul Vallas; high-flying free spenders, such as Eli Broad and Bill Gates; policy entrepreneurs, such as Wendy Kopp, Steve Barr, and Roland Fryer; and the bloggers you love to love or hate, such as Andy Rotherham, Checker Finn and the Flygirls/Flyboys, Kevin Carey, Deborah Meier & Diane Ravitch, and Alexander Russo. And how can we leave out last year’s parade marshal, Margaret Spellings, or Randi Weingarten, or even Bill Ayers?
Please submit entries by noon on Wednesday, October 29th. The floor is open!
