The further adventures of Trump's bumbling Cabinet
When your kid's education needs a little more zest, you can't go wrong with A.1.

Someday, Linda McMahon will be remembered among the pantheon of great educators in world history.
OK, maybe not.
More likely, she’ll be remembered as the professional wrestling promoter who brought to American education … the skills of a professional wrestler.
By now, you’ve probably already seen the embarrassing video of McMahon — our very own secretary of education — gushing about the promise of introducing A.1. sauce to first-grade classrooms.
Still, I can’t resist posting it again for those who haven’t yet savored the moment, especially the priceless expression on the lady next to her at the very end of the video.
McMahon was attempting to refer to AI, of course, as in artificial intelligence. But, bless her cage-match brain, she kept singing the praises of the steak sauce instead.
I haven’t seen any mention of how her famously thin-skinned boss reacted to the video, but it’s quite unlikely he shares McMahon’s enthusiasm for A.1.
Trump is known for eating his steaks well-done and slathered with ketchup — and for smearing the walls of his private dining room at the White House with flying globs of ketchup when he’s angry.
That’s really something first-graders shouldn’t be taught, even by a highly accredited professional wrestling promoter.
McMahon will be remembered as the wrestling broad who damaged American education…as a fool without integrity, intelligence and decency.
