"A totally crazy Saturday-morning thought: Wouldn't George W. Bush make an awesome high-school government teacher? Wouldn't it be something if his post-presidential life would up being that kind of post-service service? How's that for a model? Who needs Harvard visiting chairs and high-end lectures? How about Crawford High? (Or wherever?) Reach out and touch the young before they are jaded, or break them of the cynicism pop culture and possibly their parents have passed down to them. Whatever you think of President Bush, he's a likable guy in love with his country with some history and experience to share," - Kathryn-Jean Lopez, NRO.
Until now the concept had been fairly hazy in my mind, but now a legitimate (and terrifying) nemesis is materializing. Once I storyboard my origin narrative, I'm golden.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I've been biking, playing tennis, and conducting an imprecise archaeological excavation of my parents' basement. The first truckload (of many) went to the dump today. Not quite as dashing as Henry Jones, Jr., of course, and much less groundbreaking than Heinrich Schliemann, but also much more humane than Giovanni Belzoni, and hopefully less ill-fated than Howard Carter.
For those who are curious, my total mileage to date is 46.59.
