She’s an intelligent, upper-middle-class suburban professional. When I got her e-mail—which contained phrases such as no child left behind, partial-birth abortion, and defense of marriage—two days before the election, I knew then and there that we were in for four more years.

I tend to strike people from my address book when they send me emails like that. It's the next best thing to striking the people themselves.

For a writer, which I have on trusted and recent authority I am, there is a danger in reading the writing of others.
That danger is the discovery of a phrasing done not just right, but so right, juxtapositions which leave one re-reading short passages amazed, natural metaphoric language which would leave a synesthete longing for greater breadth of sensory integration. Of beauty. Elegance.
And so I find reading your blog a danger, a draw, a joy and oh so dangerous.
I am afraid that any comment I make will be woefully inadequate in light of the preceding one, so I'll just let you know that I was here...
Adamus: This from the guy who wrote "Yom Kippur as Materialised in an Approaching Dorsal Fin"? I am both floored and honored. Thank you. (I am trying to not focus on how much better written the comment than the post!) Craig's directed me to your blog on several occasions, and I've been captivated.
Hi Helen!
And yet, you seem to keep this post as opinionless as possible. And in doing so, I say well done! You, dear friend, are quickly becoming a favorite of mine!
