Under The Marble Arch
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009

Philosopher's Corner

"With their memories of the sixties, when to be young was very heaven, they still believe that an oppositional stance in pursuit of perfection is virtuous in itself—indeed, is the prime or sole content of virtue. And it is this belief that renders them interesting to Hollander, for it makes genuine moral reflection about the nature of various governments and policies impossible. It transforms merely personal discontents into matters of supposedly great general importance."

-Theodore Dalrymple on Paul Hollander: The Only Superpower: Reflections on Strength, Weakness, and Anti-Americanism

Accomplishments

DateWednesday, February 13, 2008 at 07:13PM

What a great day to be this parent!  My son is a National Merit Scholarship Finalist! And...he's failing AP BC Calculus!  I know, I know: he is failing.  But...it's AP BC Calculus, the hardest course in the whole school!  Not everyone can fail AP BC Calculus!

Wait...I think I could fail AP BC Calculus.  Come to think of it, I could fail AP BC Calculus with my eyes closed.  Ahhh.....

I can see we are overdue for a talk.

Congratulations to the National Merit Scholarship Finalist. AP BC Calculus notwithstanding, it's an accomplishment to be proud of.
