to you and the Rude Pundit. I have university degrees, and I know how much they helped my life, not necessarily in terms of income. For years, I have helped and watched as many, many young men and women went to college and on to major successes in their lives. My students. Anyone who would deprive America of its educational systems should be banished from the country. Walker should lead the parade out of America.

Friday afternoon I will be in Orlando to watch one of my former students do a lecture and recital at the Bach Festival. Classically trained soprano, teaches at Rollins College in Orlando. Did I mention she is Japanese?
