Convenience
I've become a fan of the Eduwonk blog. This interest might pass if I come to find it obnoxious. Or I'll lose interest, sort of, if the topics become so interesting to me that I become obsessed. Obsession would interfere with my current schedule.
Isn't that just reminiscent of why people don't take action to right wrongs they believe to exist? The righting of wrongs is often inconvenient. I might argue that leaving the wrongs around will eventually be more inconvenient, except that this isn't necessarily true. Lots of people avoid the right/good path and rise above the sector or group soonest affected by the wrong. So long as people in authority can rise above others when bad things come around, the bad things are likely to continue. Does this not sound like universally assured destruction?

Save AD
Maybe it's beyond saving, but if you enjoy Arrested Development or enjoy truly funny things, then watch it tonight (Monday, December 5) on Fox.
Sorry the posts are dragging lately. My schedule is a little nuts (admittedly self inflicted). I waver between moments of clarity and panic. When I have ideas for this ponderous space I'm generally in the middle of an hour-and-a-half drive or in the middle of a five-hours-on-the-road-working spell. Next week my words will be gushing forth, I promise.
On the road I am amused by sports radio, Pacifica radio, classic rock from time to time, old mix tapes (the CD player is kaput in that car), and fabulous public radio tidbits like Garrison Keilor's Writer's Almanac and UH's Engines of our Ingenuity. Feel free to listen in with me.
