Down south, I loved how the old folks could come up with the most insightful colloquial sayings that provided immense wisdom. Two of my Dad's favorites were "An empty wagon makes a lot of noise" and "A hit dog will holler."

Mr. President, May I Drive the Bulldozer?

In 2002, I became the first (and possibly last) Director of School Choice at the U.S. Department of Education. President George W. Bush had assembled a great team of reformers who sought to empower parents and children through expansion of school choice and a reduction in bureaucratic nonsense. What did I learn in those three and a half years? The agency should be bulldozed. It is a gigantic cesspool of apparatchiks who are sucking up money that should go to the students.
