My Wife Asked

My wife just asked where that came from, about a recent post. I showed her the triggering phrase from a book that is on the scan and dump pile. Those books that I buy, on a gamble, then ditch at the library drop off. I never read the paragraph in that book. Just a phrase jumped from the tangle.

We’ll have to pluck a lot of feathers from that bird before we eat.

I hope you get more soup than feathers from these small plates.

After Reading Too Much Econ

After scanning an online alternative vantage point magazine I have to wonder, what is the statistical evidence that statistics is evidence. Ask, what is it evidence of?

the Great Black Hole

this morning some knowledge changed. In some way back to a begining, while some how accelerating forward. All on an impulse. an impulse that was a long time and effort coming. This is a big difference between our past and present, our knowledge and our fear. the Large Hadron Collider could not have happened in present america.

I wonder if it would ever happen in a land of Bush’s nightmares, or Palin’s dreams. The world of the great Saddleback church. The scientists would not have been or done. That is a black hole, the hollow empty sound of soul. So the days that the United States ruled physics are over. As the United States provides warriors the other world provides wonder.
