Jennifer, at Jennifer’s History and Stuff, is preparing a gift-basket of Iowa Hawkeye stuff for the referrer of her 250,000th visitor.
No word on what the visitor themselves gets…
I arrived in my parents’ home this evening, amid the disarray of a home upset by the serious illness of a family member, with a noisy oxygen generator in the corner wheezing and bubbling, sounding like something out of a comedy skit that is in very poor taste, seeing my rail thin father come in shuffling slowly as if he were 90 and not 62, all of this coming after walking out of the secured area at the airport and having my mother burst into tears at the sight of me because she has been dealing with seeing her husband so weak for so long and feeling completely helpless about it.
Not a holly-jolly Christmas time this year.
What a fine phrase, “breathtaking inanity“…
It applies to so much more than those pushing the so-called “theory” of intelligent design, the potential nominees for applications of that phrase are as innumerable as the depth of their ingenuousness.
One might almost call it “high treason” against the “liberal tradition” of wide-ranging thought.

‘God split himself into a myriad parts that he might have friends.’
This may not be true, but it sounds good - and is no sillier than any other theology.
