    Roldo Bartimole writes: I guess I’m just stupid. I don’t get it. Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson wants to tax garbage to raise $13 million a year. Then he wants to tax non-profits to raise $5 million a year. But residents already pay taxes to have their garbage picked up. Non-profits don’t [...]

Hitting the little guy because he’s afraid of tapping those who paid his campaign bills. This is GARBAGE, Mayor Jackson! The same will go a weak-kneed City Council if [...]

    Emily Badger writes: Sociologists at the University of North Carolina and Northwestern University examined an earlier case of deep commitment to the inaccurate: the belief, among many conservatives who voted for George W. Bush in 2004, that Saddam Hussein was at least partly responsible for the attacks on 9/11. Of 49 people [...]

  • FROM MY (NANORWIMO) CHAPBOOK…

    Found in my electronic chapbook. What gives, I suspect, is a confusion of plot and idea. An idea, as I see it, is the premise of a story. A plot is the structure by means of which that idea is transferred into a work of fiction. p. 159 From Telling Lies for [...]

  • GOOD MORNING MYANMAR…

    The timing on this story from the Australia Network News seems odd to me. It could be the case that Aung San Suu Kyi’s lawyer is attempting to nudge the State Peace and Development Council, aka Myanmar’s military dictators, or that he is anticipating a favorable outcome to back channel [...]

    The world turns on symmetry -- from the spin of subatomic particles to the dizzying beauty of an arabesque. But there's more to it than meets the eye. Here, Oxford mathematician Marcus du Sautoy offers a glimpse of the invisible numbers that marry all symmetrical objects. [...]

    Found in my electronic chapbook. Maugham explained that as a young man he wrote with the stunning confidence of youth, adopting the omniscient third-person viewpoint. But when he grew older, he reported, he found it much more secure to write in his own voice and from a fixed point of view. [...]
