...sorry to see that Joe Klein has joined those who have misquoted Barack Obama's wife Michelle. In the film clip I saw of her making the statement in question, she did not say, as so many have suggested, "For the first time in my life, I am proud of my country." Rather, she said, "For the first time in my life, I am really proud of my country." The word really makes a huge difference and renders her statement perfectly defensible.

I wore that chain every day, from sixth grade to 17th grade, when my new girlfriend told me I had to take...
...tested on it later. When I entered Harvard, I had envisioned myself devouring canonical books and Core classes with the same energy that I ended up directing towards music and writing. Instead, while I drilled on Wu-Tang and the New Journalism, I dropped a class because I saw Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa on the syllabus, there was a lot of speaking in kung-fu-related code with my radio station cohorts, and a little disdain for those who could only name most-popular Wu-Tang members Method Man, Ghostface Killah, and ODB.But for this show, my fellow...
