Contemporary Commentary on a Post-Modern World. At Least The Writing Is On The Wall, Because It’s Not In The Classroom. By a quirk of fate I was planning to return to blogging today because of a pair of items in the LATimes, my response to Paul Waldman aside, I’m glad to be back and writing about interesting goings on. If teachers weren’t protected as strongly as they are by tenure, so the theory behind the lawsuit and court-ordered remedy go, then a small number of more costly, less effective teac...

enter curse word here: New Division?
http://entercursewordhere.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-division.html
Enter curse word here. Sunday, January 22, 2012. I was informed at dinner tonight that there is a new way to perform division, and for that matter, a new way to perform multiplication. In the inimitable words of J.Fu: why the fuck was this necessary? January 22, 2012 at 7:43 PM. What, youre not going to share the new methods? I want my mind to be blown, too! January 25, 2012 at 1:50 PM. January 26, 2012 at 8:46 PM. I found this.http:/ www.doubledivision.org/. January 31, 2012 at 5:22 PM. And they just ca...

Enter curse word here. Friday, January 20, 2012. Strip Malls Think You're a Delicate Flower: A Minor Rant. I am sort of over it with these "Yield to Pedestrians In Walkway" signs popping up all over the place. There are places where crossing the street is legitimately akin to a game of Frogger (yeah, I'm that. Reasons why these signs are annoying:. Labels: get off my damn lawn moments. January 20, 2012 at 5:10 PM. Should I be more angry that someone thinks I am so moronic as to need guidance walking in a...

enter curse word here: First World Problem: An example*
http://entercursewordhere.blogspot.com/2012/03/first-world-problem-example.html
Enter curse word here. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. First World Problem: An example*. I am sitting in a coffee joint, with my sweatshirt zipped up over my nose, probably setting off alarm bells in the employees that I'm about to conduct felonious activity of some kind. Why am I doing this? My recognition of exactly how much this is a "first world problem":. I have *nothing* to complain about, by comparison with roughly 99% of the world. I am so, so wrong, on so many levels. March 7, 2012 at 7:52 PM. Life an...

enter curse word here: An ersatz update
http://entercursewordhere.blogspot.com/2012/03/ersatz-update.html
Enter curse word here. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. I have realized I'm not updating this thing nearly enough to retain readership. I do get a fair amount of shit about how infrequently I post, though, which says that at least someone is reading this thing. Hi there, reader! In short, I'm lazy or at the very least, sufficiently convinced of my own triviality to be reluctant to share it. In other news, the dead butt thing has been progressing but s-l-o-w-l-y. Pilates continues to completely humiliate an...

enter curse word here: A Serious Post
http://entercursewordhere.blogspot.com/2012/02/serious-post.html
Enter curse word here. Monday, February 20, 2012. There have been at least five things happening in the news lately that I've said, "I should blog about that". Yet this blog sits untouched. I have no better excuse than 1. flu 2. cold following the flu 3. I've been ridiculously busy when not laid out flat with a plague. In no particular order, here are the things rattling around in my head:. 1 Monsanto (I'll get to it some day). 4 Update about experiments with lateness, dead butt, and other things. Lindsa...

My Love Affair With Being Nicht Poor | Vogue Republic
https://voguerepublic.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/my-love-affair-with-being-nicht-poor
Contemporary Commentary on a Post-Modern World. My Love Affair With Being Nicht Poor. Semi-sarcastic title aside, I’m really a fan of this post of Erik’s at Forbes. On the middle class and income inequality. The steep increases in the wealth of the super wealthy contrasts significantly with our progressive but still clunky income tax. I do think that we could stand to increase the progressiveness of our tax code creating new brackets for millionaires and multi-millionaires. The other thing that I think r...

Floundering Founders | Vogue Republic
https://voguerepublic.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/floundering-founders
Contemporary Commentary on a Post-Modern World. This is the type of commentary. That compels me to respond. It’s heavy on smug, light on context and discussion, and just reeks of hack job. Paul Waldman writes,. Here’s something I’ll bet you didn’t know: The Founding Fathers supported government-mandated health care. Rick Ungar of Forbes unearthed this bit of history. In July of 1798, Congress passed and President John Adams. As a supporter of the Affordable Care Act, I say…Who cares? He’s correct i...

http://entercursewordhere.blogspot.com/2012/01/apples-and-oranges.html
Enter curse word here. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Perfect example of what is wrong with me, for the many who wonder. I am in the grocery store and see a blood orange nearby the honeycrisp apple. The next thing you know I'm posing them for pictures together because I had to. Who gets where I was taking this? Let's see which among you are as mentally ill as I am. January 31, 2012 at 5:24 PM. January 31, 2012 at 7:19 PM. Does this have something to do with Mayan pyramids? February 17, 2012 at 3:15 PM. The i...
