Class Day

Danny Glover spoke at my college's newly invented Class Day, an effort to rapidly integrate recent graduates into the giving typhoon that universities are trying to create. I remember being passively disappointed in that decision back in the day.

The Nation agrees:

[John Edwards] knows he cannot finish with less than 10 percent of the vote -- indeed, a good case can be made that he cannot finish with less than 15 percent-- and expect to be treated with even the minimal measure of seriousness that is now accorded him by the media and voters going into the February 5 "Super Tuesday" primaries and caucuses. To that end, Edwards is working South Carolina hard -- with actor Danny Glover and bluegrass great Ralph Stanley in tow. The Edwards events, mostly in the state's rural communities, are inspiring mixes of old-fashioned populist economics with appeals for racial unity that feature black and white hands joining and voices rising to sing ancient gospel hymns that took on new meaning in the civil rights era.

John Edwards is in deep shit.
