Water Boy

By -
Oh man, Clark was sick today and voided his stomach three times. He kept requesting baths (I guess they soothed him) and I kid you not, he took 8 from me, and I think 1 from my wife, during an 18-hour period. On top of that, I had to throw his clothes and the bath mat into the washing machine at least 3 times because of vomit.

I don't know how much water the machine uses, but I wouldn't be surprised if Clark blew threw 200 gallons today. Don't tell David Zetland!

    Until about a month ago, I would have assumed you were just joking around about David Zetland. Now, I think you're at least semi-serious.

    Sounds like a high-value added use of water to me :)

    I take about 3-4 (2 minute) showers a day in DC. Water well spent...

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

By -
 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...
