It's not a comment on the school's quality, but on the fact that everyone's encouraged to go to college, and on the existence of a "constitutional" orthodoxy called affirmative action.<BR/><BR/>I went to Riddle's place yesterday, TS, and he's got all these U-tube links up to various musical groups, and the only name I recognized was Peter Gabriel's.

She brought up the news item in conversation, I said 'yeah, I've heard about it, blogged it, in fact', and she said 'what'd you say?' and I said 'not much' and she said 'did you know that was so and so's brother?' and I said 'no, are you sh****n me?' and she said 'go online so's I can see what you said' and I said 'yes ma'am' and when she was done: 'get rid of it'. I usually have to beg her to read it. Very occasionally she goes there if she has some time to kill.William Lusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928946919078483848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712012.post-1168643046851984412007-01-12T18:04:00.000-05:002007-01-12T18:04:00.000-05:00I should also say I'm impressed that your wife rea...I should also say I'm impressed that your wife reads your site.
