Mann Suit Update

A large number of media organizations, as well as the ACLU, have filed amicus briefs supporting our right to a speedy appeal in the mistaken denial of our motions to dismiss the suit against me, Mark Steyn, CEI and National Review.

Bi-Lingual Brain Benefits

I’ve always regretted not being bi-lingual. I took Latin in high school, which has been enormously beneficial, but I never spoke it, and I’m really only monolingual. That’s sort of a natural advantage that kids of immigrants have. I don’t know if my half-Iraqi nephew and niece are fluent (they probably just know some words), but I’m sure they’re getting some benefit from hanging out with their mother’s family.

I’d also note, on the education bubble front, that eliminating the requirement of a language for a college degree was an early sign of it.
