“Of course, it’s not enough for us to increase student aid.  We can’t just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; we’ll run out of money.  States also need to do their part, by making higher education a higher priority in their budgets.  And colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down.  Recently, I spoke with a group of college presidents who’ve done just that.  Some schools re-design courses to help students finish more quickly.  Some use better technology.  The point is, it’s possible.  So let me put colleges and universities on notice:  If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down. 

Higher education can’t be a luxury – it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.” - President Obama

Forever and Ever AMEN

I keep showing this cover to people and making choked noises of amusement.

I’m sure it’ll be a really good book, but the cover makes me laugh with cruel delight at my own expense. 

I think I will write a story about very dangerous and respectable Warrior Philosophers, and be glad I do not look like that in real life.

I need this!! Despite the goofy cover.

Dear Betty,

You look so fantastic and full of energy, I can’t believe you’re 90 years old. In fact, I don’t believe it. That’s why I’m writing to ask if you will be willing to produce a copy of your long-form birth certificate. Thanks.

Happy birthday, no matter how old you are.
