...That, to say the least, is flawed thinking. Shutting down the page program now would be tantamount to admitting the House leadership can't protect a few dozen teenagers in its keep from the most egregious types of harm. If that's the case, then why should November voters trust them on, well, just about any other conceivable matter...
...have already begun to think about classes. Likely, you’ll want some help, so here’s some advice on advising: It doesn’t exist here. Your proctor will be unable to tell you if there are any decent Cores, and sectioning is tantamount to taking the SAT and undergoing a frontal lobotomy at the same time.

But when Bush entered the Oval Office, North Korea had two nuclear warheads; now the CIA estimates that Pyongyang has enough plutonium to make as many as eight and is hard at work on the technology that would deliver them to American shores. North Korea is slowly but surely building its nuclear capability, making the world steadily less safe, and it's not clear what anyone can do about it without trying something entirely different...
