Reader poll

It’s your call!  Do I have to go to this thing?

___ Yes! Over the past year, you have devoted one-seventeenth of your waking life to mocking David Horowitz, and it is your obligation to hear him speak in person if he’s going to be appearing less than a mile from your temporary apartment in downtown Durham.  Besides, we need to know what he thinks about the fact that Duke has hired Judy Woodruff and David Brooks to teach courses for the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy next fall.  Liberal bias, or . . . liberal bias?

___ No! Life is short, Michael, and it is very likely that you have already lived more than half of yours.  And your National Humanities Center fellowship is even shorter.  Listen!  Even now, full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn, hedge-crickets sing, and now with treble soft the red-breast whistles from a garden-croft, and gathering swallows twitter in the skies.  Don’t go to this “lecture”; remember, PZ Myers, that dear soul, has already done that job for you.  Take your skates and go work out at this place instead.

Please review these options carefully, and vote no.  Thanks!

Oh, and while you’re voting, check out this thoughtful review of DH’s latest.  And please, please, please vote for me in the all-important Ty Cobb Award competition, because I’m getting slaughtered and murderized in the Koufaxes.  Thanks again!
