Charles C. W. Cooke, B.A., M.A., is an editorial associate at National Review...couldn't get into a doctoral program, eh?.....

True, but it's been the custom for a couple hundred years now that only medical doctors use their title socially.
That may be self-aggrandizing, as you suggest, or it may be that it's important to know who the M.D.s are if somebody has a heart attack or an auto accident.
The fact that "Dr." Biden is ignoring a social standard that has been pretty stable all the way from the old Boston days is the problem here, not whether that standard is, in itself, just. And to push oneself forward as a "Dr." on the basis of a doctorate in Education (the field with the rock bottom S.A.T. scores) is just embarrassing.

So when addressing the Bidens, we should use PhUJB instead of FUJB????? Just asking.

I wonder whatever happened to the “Military Families” gig Biden and Moochelle used to have. Don’t see much about it on TV anymore. I guess being a “lame duck” has different priorities.
No they are flying around. They were in Maryland two weeks ago signing a bill that makes Veterans able to get employed without having their certification. They can use their experience instead. Eventually they are going to have it go nationwide.

I always understood one got one’s MA in history while one is waiting to get into law school...even better - probably easier to get into many law schools than into many doctoral prgrams.....
