Too Busy

Sorry for being gone so long kids. I'm taking a class right now that requires weekly postings to a message board, so my spleen is vented elsewhere lately, but that doesn't mean I don't love you anymore.

In addition to the 200+ pages of reading per week for that class, a class I teach chose to read the 1400-page Count of Monte Cristo over the next 7 weeks as well... do the math... I'm going blind, but that which does not kill me makes me more liberal and prolific.

Expect to see here soon:
-Top 10 reasons why not to invade Iran.

-Why illegal immigrants are, in fact, illegal, but it would cost more to send them home than it would to keep them, and who would do all that work?

-Why the now dissappearing trend toward "vocational" education was stupid, and, more importanly, NOT the idea of teachers, but rather, the same people who now have a cure for the ailing public education system.

-The growing list of generals and White House staff who have left in a cloud of shame.

-White House flip-floppery when it comes to things they said to justify the war in Iraq. (the latest installment of "lying is only bad when democrats do it")

-How amazingly easy it's been to give up potatos for Lent and why this chubby little, mostly Irish, potato lover did it.

-Why Plato was an idiot.

That should do it for now. I don't want to make the list too big to handle.

Ciao!

I think you can go for the grand synthesis:

Top ten reasons why invading Iran is a bad idea, supported by parting words from bailing generals and White House staff and directly contradicting Administration lies, with short but relevant digressions on the importance of sacrifice (Lent, potatoes), the value of "vocational" education in a diverse information economy, and the utter stupidity of a Platonic epistemological worldview that construes all knowing as the sole province of a priveleged ruling class.

It's all tied together, man.
