I'm not a huge fan of Secretary Clinton, but this statement is pretty clear about the problems with how Congress is dealing with this.
Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important. #Shakespeare #ianmckellen #stevencolbert

Check out my friend, @joesgreatbooks and I talking about Narnia. Beware academics that you don't become like Uncle Andrew!

Because I don't have a blue tick, I'm not sure how many people this will reach. But, my son, Henry, is climbing Mt Kilimanjaro to give to Amensty International. If you want to support him, go to this site and dig deep! justgiving.com/fundraising/u…

A fun talk with @joesgreatbooks about George Orwell's Animal Farm. Enjoyed chatting with my good friend and thinking about some deep thoughts from a fairy tale (as Orwell calls it!). youtube.com/watch?v=paAyMY8L…

Really sad to hear that Alasdair MacIntyre died. He was a great teacher, and I just wrote a piece on his thinking about war. RIP.
I was an undergraduate philosophy major at Notre Dame. Which meant I took a class from Alasdair Macintyre. I'm guessing this kind of thing will get me a blue tick without having to pay?
