Not much today. I think the kid functions are tapering off, but now it's time to get serious at the office. Just one thing today:
The Annual Chesterton Conference will be leaving the University of St. Thomas, and at least one person suspects all the bogus restrictions are just UST's disingenuous way to get rid of a group that doesn't fit the UST's liberal-minded agenda. Read about it here. Excerpt:
And we are possessed of more importance to this world, to this society at large, than you give us credit for or can even imagine. And long after your sniveling little theories have whithered away, and the petty campaigns you have championed have dried to dust and nothingness with you in your sad, collapsed little anonymous graves, obliterated by countless centuries of muck and untended briars, the message of Gilbert Keith Chesterton will reverberate through the earth like a mighty thunder, and shimmer on every horizon like the stars at dawn.
I'd like to see UST's side of the argument ("We've had a lot of problems with these ACS people. Why, last year Dale Ahlquist stripped down into a Speedo, jumped on a table, sang "Mack the Knife," then smash dishes like he was Johnny Cash circa 1967").
