Welcome Back Karter? Cotter? Carter? Kotter?

During Jimmy the First's reign back in the 70s the cultural event of the epoch was a situation comedy called "Welcome Back Kotter" where the graduate of a downscale Brooklyn high school returns to teach the decidedly buffoonish inmates known affectionately as the 'Sweat Hogs'. Today we seem to be having a rerun of that era, if not the series with Eric "Boom-Boom" Holder, Rahm EmmanuHorschack and Vincy Pelosirino starring opposite the new Mr. Kotter (Cotter? Karter? Carter?), Barack Obama.

It's so comforting when old, familiar experiences can be made new, isn't it?

Welcome back, Mr. Carter.
