Maybe I should have given up posting about Andrew Sullivan for Lent, since Amy Welborn is doing such a good job. She makes some very astute points about Jesus, sex, and silence.

What I did give up for Lent was liquor. I wish NBC’s teetotaling were as brief. Gah.

Also, there’s an interesting debate about whether a liberal education conflicts with a pre-professional education at the YFP Blog. I think Gene is downplaying the tension between a culture dedicated to philosophy and a culture that has committed itself to getting a stable job. He and I know several people whose educations dragged them away from a more lucrative path and onto a more uncertain one. But I think the basic idea behind his post is accurate: Yale should work to minimize this tension by being better at both types of education, rather than ignoring the distinction and failing at both.
