Then I figured we'd be asked to give money for something or hold hands across America, but instead it turned into a weird kind of show-and-tell...
...away with everything, and the dean of students (Jeffrey Jones), who distills all the pettiness of spirit and smallness of mind in a teen's view of adult authority.

"You want to make sure that everybody back home understands how much pride people take in their work here and how much sacrifice people are making. It's outstanding...
...sentence has to have the word 'leaving' in it," said Grover Norquist, the influential Republican operative, at a breakfast meeting in June of 2007. "Doesn't mean you have to leave tomorrow, doesn't mean you have to surrender, doesn't mean you have to cut and run, but the articulation of the policy needs to be clear to the American people that we are not staying there indefinitely and that there is a 'doing something' and a 'leaving...
