Wait a minute — didn’t you go to Columbia, too?

Yes, I went to Columbia, as did NRO’s Andy McCarthy and Fred Schwarz. The difference is that Andy, Fred, and I will tell people which classes we took at Columbia, which makes us different than the president, who has yet release his transcript or tell us how he got from Occidental to Columbia in the first place. (Although Kathryn might want an explanation on one class I took at Barnard, “The Economics of Socialism.”)

As for glacier names, if there’s a glacier somewhere in the world that is relentlessly crushing Islamic terrorism, I will gladly name that glacier “Columbia” as well, this time in honor of Andy McCarthy. Maybe we’ll put COLUMBIA in all caps so we can tell the cool glacier from the wishy-washy one.
