Last Friday, Bill Bennett's Morning In America radio show was a "best of." There's nothing more annoying than a radio show that thinks so little of its listeners that it simply recycles old material when the host wants a day off (by the way, tune in to a very special "best of" NARN broadcast this weekend).
Anyway, at one point during the show Bill took a call from an eleven-year-old kid from Duluth, Minnesota. The kid had obviously called previously and Bill recognized him immediately. After a little chit-chat, Bill asked if the boy still subscribed to the Claremont Review of Books. Yes, at age eleven he was already a loyal reader of the heavy-weight publication.
The child is obviously off to a great start. But how to ensure that he stays on the right track? He needs someone to take him under his wing, offer advice, and to guide him on his political path. He needs a mentor.
But who could take on such an important role in this youngster's life, I thought?
Then it hit me like a Ryan Getzlaf slapshot. Our own JB Doubtless has often talked about his own special relationship with the Claremont Review of Books. Who better to mentor this kid to the top?
The first order of business for JB's new protégé will no doubt be learning everything he can about risk management.
