Well "The Nation" does as "The Nation" is. No one should really be surprised.

Ok. I'm not suprised when drunk drivers crash into things. We still have to put a stop to it.

Seriously. What is this, defeatist Wednesday?

Maybe so. But I'm afraid to guess, I'd probably get it wrong. (PS: I know there are 2 "r"s in surprised, but I always get things wrong on Wenzdays.

Well, to add a bright note, I was tickled by Dr. Peters' use of the word "persiflage". From one academic to another, well-done, Dr. P.!

:-D

On a more sober note, certainly, this is disappointing. But, no, it's not surprising. We just need to make sure that when this kind of things happens, we speak up--as, clearly, people are doing here.
