Feeling Better

The lib­er­al­ly edu­cat­ed per­son is one who is able to resist the easy and pre­ferred answers not because he is obsti­nate but because he knows oth­ers wor­thy of consideration.
–Allan Bloom

I don’t agree with MoveOn.org’s push to ask CBS not to “cen­sor” ads, as they seem to have mis­un­der­stood the mean­ing of the word. BUT I do like the win­ning ad in MoveOn.org Vot­er Fund’s Bush in 30 Sec­onds ad con­test.

The shop­ping list now includes a replace­ment fil­ter for the ice mak­er’s water­line, a fil­ter for the humid­i­fi­er, and three desk chairs. And shoes. I’m cur­rent­ly wear­ing sneak­ers that pre­date my rela­tion­ship with Sam, so I sup­pose it isn’t too sur­pris­ing that the sup­port isn’t sup­port­ing anymore.
