His back-and-forth with Stolberg, for instance, started because Bush clearly objected to a greeting with any number of syllables less than two. This, moments after flirting with David Gregory.

Social Analysis isn’t the sexiest of Core categories, but it ain’t the dreariest either. (Hello, Moral Reasoning.) Besides, many of you won’t have to worry...
