    Darned if I didn’t always think that it was an escaped toboggan … in the snow.

  3. B. Moe says:

    Is that second one like all one sentence?

    That third one is a work of art.

    I second Diana. Who knew Mona Lisa’s enigmatic essence was a toboggan?

    Learn something every day.

    More academic misadventures. Mankiw at Harvard teaches plain vanilla economics 101. The spoiled brats can’t have that, and of course the many leagues removed intellectual facilitators want to make sure that only a re-branded Marxist analysis is ever taught. Mankiw goes to the NY Times op-ed page to hold the little dear’s hands, have to make sure their self-esteem is maintained (I applaud the protesters for thinking beyond their own parochial concerns and trying to make society a better place for everyone.). After making his case for an ideology free study of economics, Mankiw asks his #OccupySomethingOtherThanSchool students to come back and school him (A few might choose to become economic researchers themselves. Their contributions will surely be welcome.). After Mankiw’s resounding defense of his intellectual and professional core, the NY Times helpfully inserts this bio blurb:

    N. Gregory Mankiw is a professor of economics at Harvard. He is advising Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, in the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.

    To the Times, that is all their readers need to know about Mr. Mankiw.
    And, it’s revealing to see the kind of fearless, resolute, principled leadership Romney looks for in his team.

    Pablo:

    Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganovm, whose party was on target to increase its representation from 57 to 92 in the Duma, alleged that some ballot boxes were stuffed before voting began.

    “The country has never seen such a dirty election,” he added.

    Damn, I’m dying here!

  14. […] Back in the earlier days of the blogosphere, when John Hawkins (now of Townhall) was taking polls and giving out blog awards, protein wisdom routinely finished in the top one or two in best original content — mostly because I mixed the politics with political satire and other surreal bits, from doggerel poetry to on-running narratives about my driveway neighbor, an ornery armadillo, Islamists in bunkers or a CIA-affiliated dolphin. The Martha Stewart Chronicles were particularly well received; and along with my “interviews” (most famously I suppose with Ted Kennedy), my convention coverage (which fooled some smarmy writer at Salon into sneering at the level of “right wing amateur journalism”), and short fictions, my site took on the reputation of a kind of strange, cultish entity, one where readers could find dissertations on the nature of language, hermeneutics, interpretation theory, and the post-structural attempt to decouple meaning from originary agency — which I would illustrate leads without fail to the institution of cultural assertions and kernel rhetorical and linguistic assumptions that promote, and then finally entrench, tyranny — coupled with “commentary” from washed-up celebrities, discussions with Kleagle hoods, and things like, eg., “the pinball post.” […]
