THE RITTENHOUSE REVIEW Hi Mephisto, THe Rittenhouse Review is something I've recently discovered. rittenhouse.blogspot.com Great source of Internet links, one of the most comprehensive I've ever seen. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" The current lead item, discussion a Wash Post commentary is a delightfully barbed send-up to Bush's absolute lack of intellectual pretense: <Copy> As evidence, we offer the following excerpt from the unintentionally hilarious tract, “A Few Degrees Warmer for Bush: President Cheered At Commencement,” by Dana Milbank in Saturday’s Washington Post: “The president who spoke here [Ohio State University] today was not the same president who spoke in New Haven a year ago. Bush aide John Bridgeland told reporters this morning that the president's speech, serious and grave, was inspired by the writings of Alexis de Tocqueville, Adam Smith, George Eliot, Emily Dickinson, William Wordsworth, Pope John Paul II, Aristotle, Benjamin Rush, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Cicero -- although the president mentioned none of them by name. The former C student, Bridgeland said, ‘actually discussed Nicomachean ethics’ in the Oval Office, not to mention the Patrick Henry-James Madison debate.” A confession: Even we had to look up Nicomachean. Are there no editors at the Post on weekends? <End Copy> """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" WashPost article here: washingtonpost.com Ciao!
