Help wanted? [Updated and Updated again, final time]
Due to health issues in my family I’d prefer not to disclose, I’ve hit a bit of a financial crisis. If I have any good will left to draw on, I’d appreciate whatever help any of you who still frequent the site are able to provide. Thanks so much, Jeff **** update: This has nothing to do with not having insurance. We are properly and well insured. This has more

Buy this book
Here. And no, I don’t get a penny. Which is too bad, frankly, because I’m all but bust.

I’ve banned thor
…about 50 times now, give or take a few dozen. He simply sets up a new name and uses a new IP. Anybody know how to make the ban permanent in Word Press? I’ve tried to allow him to stay and participate; I even told him he could post at the Pub, hoping that he’d tone down the rhetoric out of deference to my past generosities toward him. Clearly, that

Requiem for a (pair of) Pop Icon(s)
Every once in a while, a day passes that reminds you how you’re always one beer closer to finishing life’s sixpack. — Which ain’t so bad, really, provided you like the pub you’re squatting in.

Where have you been, Jeff? What up?
I’m here, but I’m taking a short breather. It’s one of the things I’m still allowed to do in Obama’s America — so I’m getting jiggy wid it!, as the kids say. Or said. When you spend your days listening to Loverboy, the 80s never die.

“Minn. lawmaker vows not to complete Census”
Not because ACORN has been tied to a specific political party and movement, and has a recent history of hiring people who — coincidentally, of course — are thereafter indicted for voter registration fraud. Those are merely anomalies. And not because the census has moved under the Executive, and Obama has a teeny-weeny tendency to allocate which people should be getting whose money. No, this is because she’s a wild-eyed

Paging Alan Sokal: “Editor quits after journal accepts bogus science article”
Is it incomprehensible? Why, then it must be brilliant! Just ask anyone who’s ever tried to get through Lacan! So much is wrong here that I haven’t much to offer, really. Are academics truly paying to get their papers published these days? Because wow. The editor-in-chief of an academic journal has resigned after his publication accepted a hoax article. The Open Information Science Journal failed to spot that the incomprehensible
