It's Snowing and I Hate Grading, soo...

I'll write more on how John McCain revealed himself to be a rather postmodern thinker today on Fox News, but for now, I simply wish to predict that, in the aftermath of a relatively large coastal snowstorm, many of the cable TV idiots (me being charitable)/demagogues (me being accurate) will use this single event to generalize to a trend.

Sorry, peeps, one snowstorm does not generalize to a refutation of glabal warming...dispute science with science, not with stupidity...this is yet another front in the battle on postmodern conservatism: they love to grasp at events as scientific conclusions.  The best we can do with these people is let them fulminate and ignore them, focusing instead on a Jeffersonian (or, to bow to my learned colleagues, a Rousseauian) ideal of political education for those willing to use their god-given brains as more than impulse machines.  So, I am doing so by entering this here and not in a venue where stupidity can make an equal claim to rationality...

Back to grading...
