Oh.

Crap.

Sounds like someone better review that Evidence outline before the Bar Exam . . . .

If you hurry, there's still time!

That's disgusting.

You should be ashamed.

We're not talking about the Verrazano, you know.

Near the bridge, naturally!

We call it S/S, which I recognize may be confusing for most people.

But as my old aquatics teacher used to say, sink or swim . . . mostly swim.

Schools for mermen/maids (where all SM! Jrs go, if they exist) don't really award honors.

You either display superior ability or you drown.

Or chickens.

Sounds to me like your little one has good taste.

Now if s/he licked that photo of "bubblegum" ice cream, well, . . . .

What flavor?

Based on a bumper sticker I saw yesterday, I already knew that some dog is smarter than my honor student.

So isn't the real question whether these chickens are smarter than that bumper sticker dog?

The terrorists are winning.

Just be ready: It closes this evening at 9:15.

I'll be cheering for you.

Perhaps you should start alienating more people in the meantime?

(Related: Have you read George Packer's new book? It's not about this much, but it does have an interesting portrait of Rubin . . . .)

Have you heard about the amateur folk band Summers plays in with Bob Rubin, Tim Geithner, and Jamie Dimon?

It's called Failing Upward.

Favorite song: My Banjo is Broke, Just Like My Economy

Scary Feminist . . .

For most conservatives, isn't that redundant?

Dear Mr. Miller —

No need to thank me. You wrote a terrific, moving, and (I think) important book. You deserve all the praise you receive.

You also deserve a much bigger audience in the States, something I hope your recent turn (of a sort) on Broadway will help achieve. I'm more than happy to help too, and I will…

No, they didn't. And that might be the part that hurts the most.

Something about "having to spend time with their kids . . ." Whatever.

(Hi, Cletus!)

How did I know they were ALL 23?

Good question.

One clue was that the under-18 team Nigerian National Team was also in the tournament. I figured the 24 and 25 year olds were all on that squad.

Well, I don't know about that.

But many of them did have angelic singing voices.

True story:

I played against the under-17 Nigerian national team in a youth soccer tournament many years ago. All of their players were 23 years old.

We did not win.
