Apropos of (Merriam-Webster says it's officially English not French) overhead conversation at T.G.I.Friday's, I don't think that one can morally seek either fame or being a famous X as a goal in itself. The young woman in T.G.I.Friday's wanted to be a "famous singer". One could seek fame so as to be able to do moral goal Y: I want to be a famous singer so I can spread true religion/alleviate hunger/support my family, but not simply for it's own sake.

(does that help Steve?)

Sometimes I do wish the president had a greater facility with English. "Judge Alito is imminently qualified..." I think that was "eminently" Mr. President.

A number of places I've seen it reported that the NY Times got the miner story right--that is that they stuck with "reports" or "family members say". This picture shows that's not true.
