Live Free or Die
Just got into my first altercation over our Obama bumper sticker up here in NH. 40ish white guy on a motorcycle asks me if I'm a teacher as I head for the car in the post office parking lot. (Because of course any 50ish white guy with an Obama sticker has to work in the public sector, and I don't look like a cop.) I tell him, no, and he calls me a moonbat for supporting Obama.... I ask him why he can't support his own opinion without resulting to insults. He tells me I'm stupid for supporting the guy who brought us the worst economy in seventy-five years. I point out that Bush brought us the economy, that Obama's been trying to fix it without much help from the Republicans. He calls me an idiot and rides away.

Newt and Jesus
Ah, Newt Gingrich, favorite Republican candidate of evangelical Christians who want a nominee who best represents their values.  Wouldn't Jesus be proud.

Someone Has Peered Deep Into The Darkest Pit Of My English Major's Mind!

Some samples:

"The academy is ruled by "theorists" who consider their work superior to the literature they deconstruct, and moreover they have no interest in contemporary literature."

"Bad writing draws attention to the writer himself."

"Stepped into the breach left by Pynchon's long silences, determined to churn out a full Pynchon a year."  (About William Vollman.)

I can die happy now.
