Name the book that has most influenced you? Superpig - a gentleman's guide to everyday survival - Willie Rushton<br /> <br /> 2. What was your major in college? Hard Sums<br /> <br /> 3. Aristotle or Plato? Plato (from dim memory)<br /> <br /> 4. Pick five historical figures not related to you who you would like to have join you for dinner.<br /> - Churchill<br /> - Ghandi<br /> - Daniel Defoe<br /> - C.S. Lewis<br /> - Jane Austen<br /> <br /> 5. What was the last piece of music you were listening to? Old Ideas - Leonard Cohen (nul points for originality, I fear)<br /> <br /> 6. Chore you most enjoy? Polishing shoes<br /> <br /> 7. Chore you least enjoy? Cleaning out the henhouse<br /> <br /> 8. Favorite movie of all time.Tough One. Today, I'll go for "Little Miss Sunshine", a nose ahead of the remake of "3:10 to Yuma"<br /> <br /> 9. English or Math? Maths. Always loved games. Just wish I wasn't quite so stupid.<br /> <br /> 10. Recommend a book to readers. "The Hare with Amber Eyes", tracing a netsuke collection and the family that owned it from Paris in the 1800s through Vienna in the Holocaust to Japan in the present day. Much better than it sounds.<br /> <br /> 11. Recommend a recording to readers. "Old Ideas". He's only been and gorn and done it again. tag:www.culturaloffering.com,2012-02-07:15879261 David 2012-02-07T20:19:46Z 2012-02-07T20:19:46Z <span> </span>Let energy flow into the broom handle.

Are you kidding me?<br /> <br /> There is a reason why the most liberal president in our lifetime isn't quoting Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter or even FDR. I know the reason, do you? tag:www.culturaloffering.com,2012-02-05:15860073 Cultural Offering 2012-02-05T22:54:41Z 2012-02-05T22:54:41Z <span>He was polite wasn't he?<br /> </span> tag:www.culturaloffering.com,2012-02-05:15860072 Cultural Offering 2012-02-05T22:53:58Z 2012-02-05T22:53:58Z <span>So Lincoln scholar Jaffa smacks of parochial?&nbsp; Sorry Geoff, he bastardized Lincoln and his actions demonstrate he comes nowhere close to believing those poor paraphrases.&nbsp; President Obama can push whatever agenda he likes but he shouldn't paint it with Lincoln.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; <br /> </span> tag:www.culturaloffering.com,2012-02-05:15860001 Mark http://markspearman.com 2012-02-05T20:59:32Z 2012-02-05T20:59:32Z <span> </span>Was Boehner grabbing his nose out of reflex from the stench of Obama's lie? tag:www.culturaloffering.com,2012-02-05:15859716 GJ 2012-02-05T16:53:05Z 2012-02-05T16:53:05Z <span> </span>Everyone just calls it a quotation and a misquotation, but where I came from (every school I ever attended AND the daddy for whom the F-word was FDR), that would have been a paraphrase with attribution, not a direct quotation. It's fair to comment on whether it was well-paraphrased, of course, and also to speculate on what it means or what he meant. <br /> <br /> The commentary on how he was trying to lie (my words) is free speech on AB's site, but it smacks of a parochial (secondary definition) group exercise in self-gratification while cherry-picking sources from Claremont McKenna, Hillsdale, and The Claremont Review. Red meat for a carnivorous choir. tag:www.culturaloffering.com,2012-02-05:15859434 Cultural Offering 2012-02-05T12:21:06Z 2012-02-05T12:21:06Z <span>Send Barbara Boxer.<br /> </span> tag:www.culturaloffering.com,2012-02-04:15854886 Tom 2012-02-04T23:27:25Z 2012-02-04T23:27:25Z <span> </span>Sir...<br /> <br /> Please remove this post from your blog.
