Season of Mists

…once having tasted the lips of excellence, once having given oneself
to its perfection, how dreary and burdensome and filled with anomie
are the remainder of one's waking hours trapped in the shackled lock-step
of the merely ordinary, the barely acceptable, the just okay and not a

The Pretense of Honesty

I don't know, Rachel...
I think you are giving Romney too much credit.
If you ask me: Obama bumbled because he lacked convictions.
