I'm The Lyrical Analyst

In previous posts I've wondered about who did shoot the deputy (if not Bob Marley), and why we should be impressed that Tom Cochran wants to ride life all night long. Today's post is remarkably simple: What the heck kinda poker game does Kenny Rogers play? Consider the following:

You never count your money
When you're sittin at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin
When the dealin's done.

So we must ask: After the dealing is done, does everyone stand up, perhaps on his chair?

    Well, at the time it has me posting, I was at church. (How's THAT for a good answer.) I think that must be Greenwich time or something, because I am virtually certain I didn't post it at that time.

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...
