I've been trying to enjoy the political combat this season, as I'm sure many are, but I keep getting distracted by fair and unfair commentators who are balanced and unbalanced, professional and unprofessional pols, elected and unelected and unelectable officials, news speakers and readers...and even many intelligent people!
Why?
Good question, glad you asked!
It's those god damn words that people rely on AS IF THEY HAD ANY MEANING!!
You know what I mean. "At this point in time" is a pretty good example. How about just "now"!?!
But there's a whole new crop of vacuous words that are now being over-worked.
So basically here are my talking points: at the end of the day, I'm not going to flip-flop on anything. I'll just pivot in case I want to surge, and you may vet me if you choose.
Writings, Musings and Detritus on Politics, Alternate History and Science Fiction by Robert G. Pielke ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Why bother reading this blog? Good question...glad you asked! You will notice that all of my comments, arguments, critiques and opinions are expressed LOGICALLY. My academic profession is a professorship in PHILOSOPHY -- with a specialty in LOGIC! I'm doomed to do it no other way.
