I'meither too busy or too lazy to write a full-on blog entry, so I'll pass along a funny e-mail POUNDS forwarded on to me regarding shifting educational standards. ________ Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I ... Read more

Ihereby withdraw my contention that Abraham Lincoln was a great conservative. POUNDS makes too many good points for me to be able to defend that contention, although I will say that I don’t think Lincoln fits today’s definition of liberal, either. The guy was an aggressive militarist whose suspension of habeas corpus for U.S. citizens ... Read more

POUNDS,in yesterday's comments, noticed that I had limited the definition of conservatism to primarily economic factors. He's right; I consciously limited it to economics, not because that's the sum total of conservatism, but rather because it was the easiest way to set a working definition. My point was that naming great conservatives is easier to ... Read more

POUNDS’questions from my last entry got me reminiscing about my many academic sins, and I now regret accusing my Driver’s Ed teacher of being a lush. True, he had that reputation, so I ran with it in the previous post, but I have no proof that such was the case. All I know was that ... Read more

SoI didn’t post my novel this weekend. I’m actually ambivalent about continuing to post it, as many folks are not interested, and those that are ought to be reading it all the way through, because this disjointed posting is leaving people more confused than they should be. So I’m going to focus on finishing a ... Read more

Iapologize for the sporadicism of my narcissistic blogging. We've got grundles of family coming into town for Thanksgiving, and between work and housecleaning, Mrs. Cornell would have my head on a stick if I blogged any more than is absolutely necessary - and since no blogging is absolutely necessary, that settles that. I want to ... Read more
