Deferring

I’m postponing the post I’d planned for today, so as not to get in the way of yesterday’s guest post from John McGowan (below).  I’ll be back on Monday with either this or that, or perhaps both.

  1. What, no other thing?

  2. Nope, don’t have the energy.

  3. Would “this” or “that” be the PA version of ABOR that just passed (see: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2005/07/07/tabor) or does that fall under the other thing?

  4. Yes, Tina, it would.  Nice call.  I was going to combine it somehow with remarks about my distinguished Senator, Rick Santorum.  But I think I’ll let the bombings in London, and John’s eloquent response to them, sink in for a bit.  A three-day snark hiatus.

  5. Readers should follow Tina’s link, and the direct link therein to the PA resolution . Locals especially, this is could affect everyone, not just prominent outspoken liberal types who have been personally identified by Academic Freedom Fighters.

    Do your homework folks.

  6. Yes, of course—if not the death of irony (and snark), at least the temporary, decorous subduing of it for a period of mourning.

  7. I only recently visited your bio page (um quite recetnly, five minutes ago) to find out you are a post grad Wahoo. Oy.  Curious who you might have studied with there as we might share more than one or two.

  8. My dissertation committee consisted of Michael Levenson, director; Jerome McGann, Richard Rorty, Patricia Gill, readers.  I took courses with Dan Albright, Ralph Cohen, Anthony Winner, James Nohrnberg, Charles Rowell, Karen Chase, Alan Howard, Austin Quigley, Barbara Nolan, Paul Cantor, and Rorty and Levenson.  And I’ll have more to say about Michael as a mentor when I get back to posting about “theory"--

  9. When you get around to blogging about your new Newspeak overlords, you might draw attention to this comment that one of your state representatives left on my blog.

  10. Thanks, Dr. B.  Rep. Cohen has left a comment on this blog, too, back in the late winter.  I’ll be sure to get in touch with him.

  11. isnt it funny how the language of American multiculturalism has become useful for advertising online casinos?

  12. Go Fish, except for Albright, Cohen, Winner, and Cantor. The latter was valuable for his opinion on whether Don Mossi (whom I saw pitch for the Tiges!) was the ugliest pitcher in history (the latter being Bill James’s opinion).  Dan Albright is up here at U of R now, Winner was a first rate teacher and reader, and Ralph was an impressive intellect.

    The best teacher at UVA back then was V.A. Kolve, who was the reason I went there.

  13. Wahoo Wah, David Ross McIrvine.  And way to work that baseball into um everything. 
    I studied with the writerly stars, some of whom had time for earthlings there in dear old Charlottesville. John Casey, James Allen MacPherson, Peter Taylor, Ruth Stone, Gregory Orr, etc.

  14. Yay Del Kolve!  He was my diss director at UCLA.

    Waiting for today’s post(s) with bated breath, Michael!
