A Love Letter to Louise
There are so many books that changed me and my life for better or worse. I wish I could write long, slavering love letters to all of their authors. I guess I am already, in a way. But, for the sake of space, I will stick with just one: Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh.
Three very happy years and counting.
Julia is over at her mom’s house this morning, so she called and wished Amanda and me a happy anniversary. So it is confirmed! Today is our anniversary! Happy Anniversary to us!
Maybe We Should Have Elected a White President After All
Join me, if you will, in a moment of utter, deep cynicism. That would mean you thinking, for just a moment, exactly like I think every second of the day. This will be painful for you, unless you are already where I am…..

The Rules of Climate Change Denialism
I (compulsively?) read the Letters to the Editor of the Greenville News. They are, in my mind, a frightening window on the psyche of a particular, vocal segment of the US population. Filled with accusations of Obama-led socialism (though, so far, absent of birthers), Al Gore hypocrisy, and general looniness of all kinds, it’s like Fox News filtered through the League of the South.
Skepchick. n.
A skepchick is that rare creature, the skeptic who is both female and desirable. She is generally quite popular, usually due to her appealingly large intellect, her quick wit, or just her ability to stand everyday interaction with skeptical men.
“Skepchick” is updated in the Urban Dictionary. Interesting but a bit dicey in spots, IMHO. (Click Here to see it)

Congratulations to Formerly Hideous PhD Student!
Betul was never hideous. In fact, she’s quite un-hideous in every measurable way. And she now has to change the About Page of her blog because she has completed her thesis defense! Congratulation!!!!!! Visit and say hi.
