"Your one-stop source for improper ideology and freedom seeds."
I know, bloggage has been sparse this week; my mind was elsewhere. Where, you ask? Well, if I knew, I’d turn it into a blog post. On second thought, maybe I will! At least some of my brain cells have been occupied with Hash House Harrier business. A hasher wrote to demand I condemn two […]
“Her new book was on the phenomenon of word casings, a term she’d invented for words that no longer had meaning outside quotation marks.

I’ve had the urge to change stations during the Puzzler before, but this is […]
“The man who said ‘I’d rather be lucky than good’ saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It’s scary to think so much is out of one’s control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, […]
