I think anyone who graduates by the end of ninth grade is pretty impressive, regardless of race.

Hazing the new interns makes me feel like I spend too much time here.

Also, Stefan - in all fairness, if you change the sentence you should say so. Now, my first comment looks like I don't understand things, when you're the one who wrote the initially confusing sentence.

However, unfairness is your editorial prerogative. Give us hell, Stefan!
