Welcome to the wonderful world of Henri IV.
Also it is not really accurate to say they do as before in Louis le Grand : they do as before *there*, which is a lot more than anywhere else, probably in the world. At Polytechnique, some of my fellow students told me they still didn't know how to do some of the beginning of the year exercises from back then. The end product of this school is quite amusing (but I could top their mark anyway :p ).

Not latin -> latin translation. It's historically the thing that was used to find the best students in France, it's even a proverb now.
Amazing times. I suggest reading Vallès among others if you want to have some fun.
Edit : Proust's description of litterature's old exam subject is pretty great too. "Sophocles writes a letter from Hell to Racine about the reception of Athalie. Imagine..." Serious stuff.

"I get these statistics from government agencies, they're just perfect statistics" - Donald Trump on Scott Walker.

Trump is like a really good mixtape of songs that gets played constantly. Wisconsin bringing back his greatest hits on Scott Walker like hearing a favorite lyric you haven' heard in months but the new hot remix version with fresh insults from his failed run.

Why would anyone on earth care what Walker thinks? He legit destroyed his state, just ran it into the god damn ground.

Walker is still something of a hero among tone deaf, slash-and-burn conservatives. Crazy, I know.

He was the conservative favorite coming into the election. Ted Cruz was just the Senator alternative to the Gov. preference back when everyone was sure a Gov. would win.

Learning Latin taught me a lot about English grammar and syntax that can be useful for linguistics which is related to mathematics.
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

Oh, I love latin, and I think it's a great subject. Maybe one's proficiency in it shouldn't have too big of an influence toward his social status though.

He'd never stand a chance though. All anyone would ever have to do is ask why his state is in the shitter when Minnesota is killing it? Both states were in similar starting blocks when Walker and Dayton took office. He's managed to send his state directly into the dumpster while MN is thriving. Neighboring states, similar in many respects, same starting point, it's a case study in what works and what doesn't.

Anyone on the fence just looks at that and the decision is made, it's black and white. This guy is an idiot and makes awful decisions, I'll vote for the other person. He would have gotten totally smoked.

Yup. Trump was basically taking credit for doing just that to his campaign,essentially killing it in it's crib. In the process he ran through a lot of that. In the process he gave credit to the government for collecting "perfect statistics", that's the part that got a laugh out of me.

Latin can have use (in linguistics as you say, greek is a blessing for economyn as Aristotle is rather important), but it is mostly used as a way to distinguish oneself. La barrière et le niveau (the barrier and the standard) is what matters in french education, it's all about the distinction.

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans’ reasoning for not considering President Barack Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court holds “no basis” in fact, according to Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).

Arguing that the next president should nominate the next Supreme Court justice, Republican leaders have said they will not meet with nominee Merrick Garland, the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, let alone hold hearings or a vote on his appointment.

Collins broke with her party and immediately said she would meet with Garland after Obama nominated him to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia. She’s continued to be vocal about her split in the weeks since, telling Maine’s Newsradio WGAN on Tuesday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) isn’t pleased with her dissent.

“The leader’s not real happy with me,” Collins said, adding that she even reread the Constitution to make sure she was remembering it correctly.

“I knew there was no limit on when during a president’s term he appoints nominees to the court, but I wanted to make sure I really understood the exact wording,” she said.

While Collins says she understands why a majority of her colleagues are opposed to holding hearings to consider Garland, she disagrees with their logic.

Here's something that GH might enjoy. This is a benchmark path to the nomination for Sanders (sans super delegates) in response to this:

It got the 538 nod:

No. That's the superdelegates that have said they will vote for Hillary. But given that they are not beholden to voters, they *could* switch their support. It's just that they, as of right now, publicly support Hillary.

Regarding the chart: yeah, that looks about right.

Win NY by 54%, NJ by 56% and CA and PA by 58%. Tall order.

No, most have promised to vote for Clinton rather than Sanders. They are allowed to change their minds, but something would need to happen for that to occur. Even in 2008, very few super delegates actually switched to Obama. On the other hand, tracking such endorsements is more difficult than counting votes, so there's some inherent imprecision and ambiguity involved.

Many have already endorsed her, but it doesn't matter until the convention because they can change their minds, and usually vote with the total popular vote and delegate counts.
