I studied linguistics under Dr. Rosenberg at The New School in the Fall of 2008. This video tell his story from the 1940's, and in the post I tell a little story shared between us that fall.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yep it’s a lie. After the summer of discontent, and the President’s speech last night (with its heckling) I’ve written up my thoughts on the current health care debate.

I wish we were talking about the issues that would actually solve the problem and stop all the lies. But then again, it’s not really about health care, right?]]></description>

The LAT reported that 208 passengers have been convicted of felony terrorist activity under the Patriot Act over the past few years, often for raising their voices to Flight Attendants.

I’m surprised the number isn’t in the thousands...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s human nature; we find the quickest way to apply a map to a simple fact and extrapolate from it grand conclusions. The biologists say it’s evolutionary. It’s hard wired in us, they say, and it’s part of what makes us greater than the apes.

“We are in an ontological pickle” a friend told me recently, and she was right.

To deal with this I suggest a “Rule of Three”, but be careful that you don't eat the pickle along the way...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Buzzing around the web has been the story that Google CEO Eric Schmidt called the internet a “Cesspool”. Cnet reported that “the Internet is a "cesspool" where false information thrives...Schmidt gave the magazine publishers hope for their future.
