In case you really want to know, tomorrow Morning Joe will be all about education...

broadcast from Fort Lee High School in New Jersey.

Here's the rundown of participants: Mike Barnicle, Harold Ford Jr. Rev. Al Sharpton, Mike Allen, Howard Dean, Michelle Rhee, Jon Meacham, Gov. Chris Christie, Steven Engravalle, Cami Anderson, Gov. Jack Markell, Gov. Dannel Malloy, Randi Weingarten, Deborah Kenny, Elaine Wynn, Melissa Harris-Perry, Jose Diaz-Balart.

When they first announced it on today's show I immediately decided it would be nothing more than a teacher bashing show and decided not to watch. But it is good to see Howard Dean and Melissa Harris-Perry on the list. And Sharpton will be interesting.

Unfortunately, my governor, Dan Malloy, has started teacher-bashing, which is depressing since he was going to be the "non Chris Christie" governor, and give union members a decent shake. But his state of the state address was deplorable. I was shocked. I'll be watching him closely...

He used to try to hide it, but no more.

The only reason I'll watch is to see the push-back from the good liberals on the show. I hope somebody really nails him...

difficult even with a GOOD host to make sense of anything, imo.
Will suggest my friend watch; I sleep thru that show!
