I offer the above lemma without proof. It is left as an exercise for the reader.

    A few years back I got a smoking deal on ATT service. For $40 I got 650 minutes, plus free nights and weekends.

    Then Cingular bought ATT wireless. Didn't notice much difference at first, but a couple months ago I started to not have reception in my home. It's not completely gone, but it does tend to break up. The b*st*rds at Cingular are "upgrading" antennas so that *ssh*l*s like me with old SIM cards can't use them. My nearest antenna is now 6 miles away they say.

    They claim to be unable to actually help me unless I upgrade to a new sim card while downgrading to a new contract. I told them that if they are going to screw me over that way, I am not going to reward them with a new contract.

Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas --  unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.

"Pre-Galilean" Foolishness

 I am currently reading The Master and His Emissary , which appears to be an excellent book. ("Appears" because I don't know the neuroscience literature well enough to say for sure, yet.) But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun. To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose...
