...General Wesley Clark is causing heartburn in the Dean camp, it's worth studying how much the guy who is running as the un-Dean actually resembles him. Both men make the most of their hard-earned titles: the doctor and the general are conspicuously not Senators; they barely admit to being politicians at all. Their innocence of national elective experience is a virtue. Their tough temperaments and raw styles are suited to a Democratic base alienated by dignified leaders in Washington who got rolled by the Bush revolution. Neither has any embarrassing votes to explain...
...right, of course, about the third alternative, and a very sensible one it is—working out some system of fooling the grader, although I think I should prefer the world “impressing.” We admit to being impressionable, but not to being hypercredulous simps.

Of course, an 18-year-old who has managed to work 80-hour harvest weeks, while doing make-up schoolwork and teaching himself Latin is usually preferable to yet another Stuyvesant grad in the eyes of Harvard admissions. Then again, anyone who has raised himself out of the gang culture of an inner city to get a 1500 SAT score would likely gain admission to Harvard...
