The Wednesday Eudemon

One of the best article bullet summaries I've ever seen: Paul Theroux depicted V.S. Naipaul ten years ago as a stingy, tantrum-prone, racist snob badly in need of driving lessons. He was far too kind. [http://www.aldaily.com/] And the bullet is apparently accurate. The

Tuesday Trifles

And all this time I thought I was merely showcasing a measure of libidocoria [http://deacbench.blogspot.com/2008/04/showoffs-who-have-three-kids.html]: > When Elana Sigall, a 43-year-old attorney in Brooklyn, was pregnant with her third, people came up to her constantly, she said,

Monday Moanin'

I missed this story last week: Muslim parents force British elementary schools to remove gay marriage books from the curriculum [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=553008&in_page_id=1770&in_page_id=1770&expand=true] . I don&

Thursday

I don't buy or lease new cars, so I couldn't participate in the Ford boycott. Procter and Gamble? I couldn't keep track of their products adequately to be an effective boycotter. Wal-Mart? Hard to avoid with a large family. But this one? They&
