More about DoctorDude
http://leftylawyer.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ more-about-doctordude.htmlHe may be an excellent surgeon, but he is definitely not a nurse. Which is not to say he doesn't have an excellent bedside manner - he does, for the 10 minutes at a time he sees a patient, half of which the person is gorked out on drugs. But the words "caring," "nurturing," and "comforting" just don't apply to him.

Republicans Are The Pity Party
http://lukeford.net/ blog/ ?p=2985Republicans Are The Pity Party Peggy Noonan writes in the WSJ: Could the party pivot from the president? I spoke this week to Clarke Reed of Mississippi, one of the great architects of resurgent Republicanism in the South. When he started out, in the 1950s, there were no Republicans in his state.

The All So Serious Noonan and Rove in the WSJ
http://rustycage.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ the-all-so-serious-noonan-and-rove…I’m going to run with Glenn Greenwald on the ’serious’ punditry. In this case, the very serious and respected op-ed pages of the WSJ. I posted yesterday on Rove’s use of “narrowly lost” in his WSJ op-ed to describe the Davis defeat by Childers in Mississippi by a 54-46 margin.

Paley Center thing. Come hang out with us!
http://madmenmad.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ paley-center-thing-come-hang-out-w…Deb and I are going to this on Monday, May 19th, at the Paley Center in New York. (Scroll down, look on the right.) It’s a panel of TV recap/fan site blogger folk. Like us. Only not us. We’re not on the %$&@ panel. We found out about it after the fact. Anyway, should be cool.

Clusterfuck, redefined.
http://meanteacherms.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ clusterfuck-redefined.htmlYesterday may have been the greatest clusterfuck of all time. We were scheduled for the last day of testing, and it was the math test. For you non-teachers, the distribution of testing materials is a pain, but on math day it's even worse.

Ironic
http://catmanndue.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 15/ ironic/Ironic It was the awkward way that she talked about her one night stand. It was the noticeable averting of her eyes. It was how she didn’t elaborate about her weekend stories. And it was so much more. We aren’t friends anymore and both of us know it, but neither of us publicly announce it.

A Swift Kick to the Nuts Might Do
http://ephemerist.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 15/ a-swift-kick-to-the-nuts-might-do…On the matter of the current crop of “It” Lit boys and why they can only churn out flaccid prose comes an alternate solution, this from Powell’s blog: We could also up the ante a bit. Today, for instance, a young writer fears only a savage Michiko Kakutani takedown and perhaps a book reading with an audience of fewer than ten.

Two readers…maybe three
http://postpoetics.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ two-readersmaybe-three/So, I have so few readers on this blog that I could probably just start referring to them as “you.” As in, “You’re in the shower right now, but you’re maybe about to become my third regular reader, including myself,” or, “I just got off the phone with you and we were making fun of how few people view my blog.” This is bad.

potential
http://life-of-a-fool.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ potential.htmlI am getting increasingly frustrated with the feeling that I am in the "potential" stage. I have some successes, sure, but they still feel preliminary - I've gotten some (dissertation and small) grants, I have a PhD, I have a TT job. I have only one "real" publication in print.

The Water in Me
http://liszalost.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 15/ the-water-in-me/How does it always end up the same? You are as predictable as you let yourself become. It was written in the stars? No. You wrote it there yourself and decided to let it happen. That’s what happened. You let yourself fail. You became your own worst enemy, you fell from the top and you hit the bottom just like you should have.
