Vote Harding

Ran into my friend Chuck Chalberg, historian and Chestertonian extraordinaire at the local coffee shop this morning. Now it so happens that in an early '90s fit of apoplectic reaction against the Mpls. Star-Tribune, we decided we just couldn't take it any more, so we don't*—but I'm grateful that Prof. Chalberg pointed me to his piece on Sunday's op-ed page, wondering about what our candidate selection process has become.

Mr. Chalberg was an excellent, excellent prof. I only wish I would have been a bit more mature and "applied myself" a bit more in class. Argh. If I had the time/resources to go back and take a class, his American history one would be it.
