Via Alas, a Blog I came to this post by Timothy Burke, who describes taking his 3-year old daughter to a museum. The problems that he describes, caused by the behaviour of some of the older children visiting the museum, strike me as deriving from factory school segregation, or rather: from the experienced mis-fit caused […]
The breaking scandal over the Royals in the UK might be turned into a morality play, but I think that it’s really a management question. To me, the scenario that derives from the innuendo thus far is that Prince Charles was on the receiving end (so to speak) of sexual services provided by Michael Fawcett, […]
I would not be able to have my morning coffee if it weren’t for duct tape. Curious? Ok, here’s the story: I have a really cool coffee maker that grinds the beans and then makes filtered coffee, all without my having to intervene. Except for initial ministrations of duct tape, that is. The machine is […]

CBC Radio had an interview with the head of the American Selective Service System this morning — I caught only 2/3 of it, but gathered there was talk of starting up the draft again in the U.S. The Selective Services guy said that they hadn’t yet had any directives, but …. And no, they wouldn’t […]
An interview with the ghost of Karl Marx in Prospect Magazine: Karl Marx: All this I analysed. All this I deconstructed (yes, I keep up with modern charlatans). The result: the first theory of fascism. So don’t tell me I have ever been under any illusion about the people. I know how to look at […]
I went to a party the other night, Pats, and I thought I looked so gorgeous, so cool, darling, and I just flirted and was loud and cool all night, darling, yeah, I was Kathleen Turner and Marisa Berenson. I came home, I looked in the mirror, …and …I was entirely annihilated. My hair had […]
