Another rush-hour blogging adventure on I-285 heading to another family appointment. For the thousandth time, wish metro Atlanta had a lot more of the socialist curse of land-use planning. C’mon Agenda 21!
Here are some remains of the day:
* At TNR WaMo contributor Stephen Burd discusses ways in which poor students sacrificed to steps colleges take to do well on prestige-based rankings like those of U.S. News. (Burd’s report for NAF is here).
* Gates asserts Obama “trapping himself” with IS strategy that will require ground troops.
* Stewart and Colbert mock Lindsay Graham’s Sunday Show terror tantrum.
* At Ten Miles Square, Seth Masket notes Thomas Frank’s hostility to political science goes back to an argument with Larry Bartels.
* At College Guide, Andre Perry argues New Orleans schools still haven’t incorporated lessons of Katrina.
And in non-political news:
* So if you were as puzzled as I was about what Jameis Winston shouted in the FSU cafeteria yesterday, earning a first-half suspension, here is the WARNING OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE explanation.
That’s it for Hump Day. Let’s close with one more Hank Williams classic: “Jumbalaya on the Bayou.”
Selah.
