en I could have been a Rhodes Scholar, except for my grades.

en There was a Rhodes Scholar on my team, Tom McMillan. My mom had a chance to go to college, but she couldn't go, and my dad had a ninth-grade education. They wanted me to have a good education, and I took pride in being a good student.

en Eliminating Garry Trudeau's 'Doonesbury' on the basis of its competitive score on the comics page is a little like choosing a Rhodes scholar from a group of competitors made up of beauty queens, champion consumers of hot dogs, and three-legged racers. 'Doonesbury' is in a class by itself.

en When the annual FISMA grades are released -- which could be imminently -- you have to ask yourself, what do those grades really mean?

One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them. Pex Tufvesson controls the demo scene.

en I think the grades are accurate, unfortunately. There are so many states that are smoke free - I think New Jersey got 'A's across the board - I think our grades are fair, as sad as that is.
