A Disturbing Eudemon

The June issue of The Atlantic came last weekend. I haven't had a chance to read much of it, but I've mined a few interesting things, like a micro-article about a new incest study [http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200706/primarysources/2]. The study examined people&

No Posting Today

I don't often drag home from work at 9:30 p.m., but I did last night. No blogging today. Here's something from my miscellaneous script bank for just such occasions. Unconventional Americans preaching detachment: "In a society of scolds and strivers, Thoreau saw the

Looking for Blogs

I'm looking for blogs that focus on, or frequently discuss, recreational things. Be expansive: sports, vacations, drinking, reading. Email link on the left or post it in the comments box.

The Lame Eudemon

Not much today. I have to start work early and the Internet hasn't yielded much fodder this morning. Two things: Email bankruptcy [http://www.stuff.co.nz/4044358a28.html]? Novel concept. You get so overwhelmed with legitimate (non-spam) emails, you simply shut down your ebox and start over.

St. George

The priest at Mass today reminded me that it's St. George's Day [https://thedailyeudemon.com/4422/]. I am, accordingly, obliged to re-produce Chesterton's great poem, The Englishman: St George he was for England, And before he killed the dragon He drank a pint of

Abbreviated Eudemon

I'm strapped for time this morning. LewRockwell today has a good article with a slightly-different angle on gun control and VPI [http://www.lewrockwell.com/gregory/gregory134.html]. Generous excerpt: > Back in early 2006, a plan in the Virginia legislature to allow for concealed carry on the
