What Is Creamed Corn, Really?

For radical transparency's sake...

A New Fear

But, today, we woke to find ourselves in a world where a child might grow up not fearing the unknown.  I don't know about you, but that scares the shit out of me.



It's not every day that sarcasm leaves you teary eyed.

And it'll be fun to see where comedy takes Barack Obama.

From Barbarism to Decadence

I took a break from the early returns a little while ago and read. 

And I happened to read this:

All colors and all blends of Americans have somewhat the same tendencies.  It's a breed - selected out by accident.  And so we're overbrave and overfearful - we're kind and cruel as children.  We're overfriendly and at the same time frightened of strangers.  We boast and are impressed.  We're oversentimental and realistic.  We're mundane and materialistic - and do you know of any other nation that acts for ideals?  We eat too much.  We have no taste, no sense of proportion.  We throw our energy about like waste.  In the old lands they say of us that we go from barbarism to decadence without an intervening culture.  Can it be that our critics have not the key or the language of our culture?

Fun place, this country.
