Click. Laugh. Repeat. We write stuff. It makes us laugh. The End.
Aiming Low.
Perfectly Mediocre. It doesn't mean not trying to be good at anything. It means trying not to be good at everything.
Hey, That's My Hummus!
Mike Scheinberg and Faiqa Khan talk about faith, politics, culture and pretty much everything besides hummus on a podcast that just might save the world. Or not.

Years ago when I was completing my credential program, I had to turn in a portfolio. This portfolio had to open with a quote that related to my philosophy on education. I chose this.
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”
Aristotle
Love that one!
Love that… and try my best to live it.
I thought the point of education was to make us elitist and unpatriotic.
Funny how some folks want us to believe that.
Sigh… too many people think that for me to even laugh at the idea.
Wise words never get old.
Great words, the unfortunate thing is that Woodrow’s favorite movie was “Birth of a Nation” and his foreign policy (often described as “Wilsonian”} was the inspiration for P{resident Bush going into Iraq. But yes, compared to the strength of this quote it has nothing to do with it or him and in fact would be a logical fallacy if used to refute the quote. But I’m a history nerd, so there is that.
I knew that about “Birth of a Nation”. And of his foreign policy… being a history nerd myself.
And right after I hit POST COMMENT I said to myself, “that’s the act of a stupid little pedant RW,” but couldn’t take it back. You can always visit my blog and even the score…
1. Stupid. 2. Little 3. Pedant
The three LEAST likely words I would use to describe you. Also, I’m too embarrassed to admit that I keep “losing” your blog. I’m a simple minded person.
