The end of Torchgate: I

The end of Torchgate: I am mourning the end of Torchgate. Given the Democrats’ high-minded execution of the Torch and their prospective shenanigans to replace him on the ballot, all in honor of the sacred imperative of maintaining their Senate majority and obstructing the war effort, I want to say this is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, of Torchgate. But in fact the coming events in New Jersey will deserve a nom de scandal of their own. We shall see.
I have previously written about the outstanding young Ivy Leaguers who have signed up for summer training in the Marines’ Officer Candidate School. This story from the Yale Daily News, “A military life for some Yalies,” tells a piece of the story; I commend it to your attention as a mood lifter.
