a moving quote from the late Kurt Vonnegut
April 16th, 2007
“For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course that’s Moses, not Jesus. I haven’t heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.”

Superbowl education
January 26th, 2006
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
- Evan Esar
But then, without professional athletes, what would guys be able to talk to each other about without any emotional investment in each other? Certainly not the humanities, social injustice, politics, or religion. And what would happen with the spi’ritual’ity of tailgating? I say less teachers and more athletes!! Bring on the Superbowl!
