That was a joke. :)

I miss William F. Buckley too, and that's no joke.

Why do you want to pull your hair’s out again?

Reading our founding documents can be a chore (super long sentences, sometimes), but an English that seems so rich.

Don't misunderstand this next statement, I'm a born again Christian, so there IS an obvious reason other than ...
I read the KJV for the language

I used to have a VW Bug back in the sixties which I named “Knarf”—even had a license plate with that name. Just wanted to say ‘Hi Knarf’ again...

Yeah, I’ve noticed it too and it drives me nuts. When I listen to talk radio, I’ve begun to keep tallies of how many people that phone in start their calls with,”Soo...”. It’s especially irritating when so-called “men” talk this way.

My pet peeve is using “and I” when “and me” is the correct grammatical form. You wouldn’t say “he gave I a gift card for Christmas”, after all (unless you’re from Jamaica).

Total presence breaks on the univocal predication of the exterior absolute the absolute existent (of that of which it is not possible to univocally predicate an outside, while the equivocal predication of the outside of the absolute exterior is possible of that of which the reality so predicated is not the reality, viz., of the dark/of the self, the identity of which is not outside the absolute identity of the outside, which is to say that the equivocal predication of identity is possible of the self-identity which is not identity, while identity is univocally predicated of the limit to the darkness, of the limit of the reality of the self). This is the real exteriority of the absolute outside: the reality of the absolutely unconditioned absolute outside univocally predicated of the dark: the light univocally predicated of the darkness: the shining of the light univocally predicated of the limit of the darkness: actuality univocally predicated of the other of self-identity: existence univocally predicated of the absolutely unconditioned other of the self. The precision of the shining of the light breaking the dark is the other-identity of the light. The precision of the absolutely minimum transcendence of the dark is the light itself/the absolutely unconditioned exteriority of existence for the first time/the absolutely facial identity of existence/the proportion of the new creation sans depth/the light itself ex nihilo: the dark itself univocally identified, i.e., not self-identity identity itself equivocally, not the dark itself equivocally, in “self-alienation,” not “self-identity, itself in self-alienation” “released” in and by “otherness,” and “actual other,” “itself,” not the abysmal inversion of the light, the reality of the darkness equivocally, absolute identity equivocally predicated of the self/selfhood equivocally predicated of the dark (the reality of this darkness the other-self-covering of identity which is the identification person-self).

Much of America is SO....yout obsessed that they are beginning to adopt the usage of yet another TEENISM.

Modern telephone/text/IM communications is causing this by allowing children to communicate almost exclusively with their peers, shutting out the adult world as much as possible. It's not likely to get any better, absent a huge solar flare or EMP attack.

Have you seen the recent TV ads from Sprint? I almost feel sorry for James Earl Jones and Malcom McDowell. You know they must be perplexed by the lines they're being given to read.
