QUID HAS HEARD the brass from Overland High School won’t be winning any dance competitions soon. During the Cherry Creek School district school board meeting this week, seniors from Overland’s student government took the podium to reflect on their four years in the district. They waxed poetic on their first classes as freshmen, their plans for college and their senior prom. One image from the recent ceremony stood out for one of the students, who announced definitely that Overland Principal Leon Lundie would never win a spot on television’s “Dancing with the Stars.” The dig inspired rounds of laughter from the audience, the school board and even Lundie, who was seated in the back of the Challenge School’s gym-turned-auditorium. The joke persisted, as Board President Jennifer Churchfield made another reference to Lundie’s lack of coordination as she thanked the students. Don’t worry, Leon, state budget cuts to education will have to get pretty severe before you’re forced to take a job as a freelance dancer. Quid is looking for the school district administrator good enough at cutting a rug to laugh the last laugh.

AND QUID HAS HEARD that it’s Republicans who get the last laugh over the Capitol hysterics that led to a not-so-special session of the Legislature this week. Seems Dems and gay activists have been licking their chops ever since House Speaker Frank McNulty started clubbing Dems, Gov. Hickenlooper and any attempt to create a civil unions law here in Colorado. McNulty dared to defy the tidal wave of rainbow-rights washing across the country by sending a second-chance bill to a panel of Republicans that would not no-way-no-how tolerate anything gay-rightish. That further stoked the political enemy ready to drown McNulty in his very own homophobia before they realized he represents the fine, fine people of Highlands Ranch, which includes all of three registered Democrats. Sorry, Tim Gill, but pointing out that McNulty has treated gays, the underprivileged and Democrats like, well, gays, the underprivileged and Democrats will only be free advertising for McNulty’s Douglas County re-election campaign. Opponents can only hope the top House Republican makes a serious south-metro political gaffe, like saying something kind about teachers or nasty about school vouchers or funny. Quid predicts he’s safe.

AND THAT’S ALL THE NEWS THAT FITS.
