Connecting the Dots by Jonah Goldberg on National Review Online

Does anyone remember the days when “connecting the dots” was considered vital to national security? After the September 11 attacks, we had the 9/11 Commission and countless knock-off studies, committees, investigations, hearings, journalistic exposés, and outings of fact-finders. The lesson from all of them was that in order to make sure “this never happens again,” we must get better at connecting the dots. No more Johnell Bryants! You don’t remember poor her?

"Seth, just hold my hand, baby.  In my hand....it's nothing but LOVE!"

"I'm going to wear THIS dress for my birthday and I'm going to wear THIS dress when I marry daddy."

"Can I have another peanut butter stomp?"  (Reese's peanut butter cup)

"That's kind of a widda bit skeedy!!!!"  (kind of a little bit scary)

Ella, did you know that a caterpillar turns into a butterfly?  "Yes, it's called metamorphasis!"

"Get my daddy out of that bunkin booth!  He doesn't want to be wet!"  (Joel was in the dunking booth at the church's fall festival.)

Ella, have you ever heard mommy say the words "down syndrome" and what do you think it means?  "Yes, I know Down Syndrome!  I had a little bit of it when I was a baby too."

"For my birthday I want a Sleeping Beauty cake.  And she will have on lipstick and lashes on her face."

"My nose is a little bit snuffy.  But Jesus will take care of me.  He is the Healer."  (From the lips of children and infants, you have ordained praise. Psalm 8:2)
