This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you. However, if it's going to happen to you, and the outcome is ultimately going to be negative, then finding a way to make the process as bearable, even as enjoyable as possible, might be worth a little attention."—from John Jerome's On Turning Sixty-Five

A National Treasure
Not surprisingly, the Wall Street Journal periodically publishes some controversial stuff. By "controversial" I mean stuff that people not interested in the truth might find offensive.
Shelby Steele has a short essay in last Monday's op-ed pages. His last book opined that Senator Obama could not win the Presidency so his track record is a little sullied for some but in my view Steele's problem with predicting elections just makes him a little more credible. In other words politics for him is more than just winning elections.
I must read some other stuff he has written as he seemed to touch on matters in the essay that have been puzzling me for a long time, ever since I took a long sabbatical during the 60s to learn how to be a doctor.
