The response to the last post Students are not the enemy has been pretty overwhelming. The NYSCATE wiki for this presentation: The Enemy Within: Stop Students from Bypassing Your Web Filters has been edited by several people with very cogent comments asking the company and presenter to rethink a declaration of war on students. My original posting [...]

I learned during years of theological study that it is possible to give a “theological account” of almost anything and even make it sound cogent. Of course everything that sounds cogent is not necessarily true. In my morning paper I read the following account from a local Church. It was under the heading, “Cafe Worship”: Cafe [...]

Australia outclassed England at Twickenham, while there were 18 goals in four Premier League games Preamble Hello. Yeah sure there are cultured, grown-up things you can do on a Saturday afternoon, art galleries and other places where you can pointedly narrow your eyes as if you actually have a clue what's going on, but give that a break today and embrace an old-school bumper Saturday of sport. Like...

Hidy Ho peoples! I know you are getting sick of my collateral duties that are keeping you from my rapier wit and cogent analysis of all things important (burp). Back to Norfolk tonight for the weekend. This is my second to last drill since the “official” reserve retirement date is set for 1 Jan, 2010. In the [...]

WTF?!? WTF, WTF, WTF?!?!?! Blah blah blah. Final challenge, blah blah, inspiration, blah, Getty Museum, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, only five left, blah, blah.

I am engrossed in my NaNoWriMo project (7,000+ words and going strong), and had decided to blog a big less during the month of November. But then the incomparable Jim Mercurio , screenwriting consultant to the stars (and a really nice guy who loves The Boss) posted some pithy and cogent musings on contests and their obsessive entrants, and I had to share. If (contests) can help you enjoy this sometimes...

As most know by now, a senseless carnage took place at Fort Hood yesterday. As a result of this tragedy, I do not feel it to be appropriate to post a Friday Funnies today. I have some thoughts about this incident, but I have been too short on time to organize them into a reasonably cogent post and there are just too many questions that have not been answered. One can only hope that the

Earlier Paul described Sen. Lindsey Graham's observations on Tuesday's elections as the "least cogent commentary about New York-23" that he'd seen. Paul probably hadn't read this column by E.J. Dionne. Of Tuesday's results, Dionne, spinning furiously on behalf of his beloved Democratic Party, writes that "[t]he night's biggest loser was the national conservative political machine --...

Sen. Lindsey Graham offers the least cogent commentary about New York-23 I've seen. Graham told Politico : To those people who are pursuing purity, you'll become a club not a party. Those people who are trying to embrace conservatism in a thoughtful way that fits the region and the state and the district are going to do well. Conservativism is an asset. Blind ideology is not. There's some unintended...

Alex Steffen has made a very cogent complaint about the Transition movement. Although I remain a member of the Transition Austin group, I also remain frustrated at its stubborn attachment to small scales and romantic thinking. A particularly striking example of the problem (and of obtuseness regarding Steffen's complaints) appears here from Carolyn Baker. Let me state that I remain an admirer of Rob...

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that 45limpdick is incapable of understanding comic books let alone the printed word. I mean, why else would he be upset at the fact that I point out that the NRA supports imbeciles like him owning guns? I mean it's scary that these gun cretins are too stupid that they can't understand pictures in comic books . Now, that's really fucking stupid. Anyway, he is so...

Lord Ashdown makes these telling remarks before setting out what failure would mean if we pull out of Afghanistan: The clamour is growing for us to withdraw from Afghanistan. And the tragic loss of five British soldiers at the hands of one of those we are supposed to be fighting alongside will make that clamour louder. There is a real chance we will lose this struggle in the bars and front rooms of...
