Boston talker Howie Carr lives in Swellesley, and a daughter just graduated from the HS.

New HS, in the library, the last names of famous literary figures are carved into the molding or the like.

"Obama" is one. My guess is that they just took a reading list from Oprah, rather than spending any effort looking at what classics still resonate with readers decades after publication.

After all, how long did it take for people to know that Obama wrote that he was a dog eater?

This is great:

"...if everyone is special, then no one is. If everyone gets a trophy, trophies become meaningless".

Someone ought to have taught that to Obama, but they were busy trying to spread socialism - the philosophy of value-destruction and leveling - in place of properly raising a child.
