Acton Media Roundup
Rev. Robert A. Sirico made an appearance this morning on The Laura Ingraham Show. The discussion ranged from Rudy Giuliani’s recent comments about his support for taxpayer-funded abortion to the mystery and joy surrounding the events of Holy Week for Christians. If you missed his live appearance, you can check out this link to find a radio station near you that broadcasts Laura’s show on tape-delay, or (for a small fee) find the interview in Ingraham’s online audio archive.One other notable Acton media appearance this week - and I want to apologize for the delay in bringing this to your attention. Acton’s own Dr. Kevin Schmiesing was featured in his hometown newspaper in the mid-80’s for his achievements as a high school “mathlete.” Far be it from us to withhold the evidence of this achievement from you, our beloved and well-respected readership:
Jordan Ballor notes that Dr. Schmiesing’s last name is misspelled in the caption. Shoddy journalism!
This achievement was likely one of many early glimpses of the peculiar genius of Dr. Schmiesing which would eventually earn him a position at the Acton Institute and would garner him a number of awards, including his recent second place finish in the 2006 Templeton Enterprise Awards for Best Article. All this is in keeping with Acton’s commitment to bring you the finest scholarship available produced by award winning math nerds, not the run-of-the-mill math nerds you’re likely to find at other institutions.
I kid, of course. Congratulations again to Dr. Schmiesing, who has been and continues to be a much more impressive scholar than I could ever hope to be!
