Nearly 50 years in east Alabama, a surname going back to Vikings invading Scotland, and finally too much religious fundamentalism coupled to reactionary radicalism motivates me. I'll share (rarely as of late) my ideas on politics, learning, ... My clan supposedly uses "Peace ... or War!" Maybe those genes compel me to join issue? (Propservralism = PRogressivism + pOPulism + conSERVatism + libeRAL + pragmatISM) Respectfully, John Gunn

Professor Stephen Balch is earning his keep
Heck of a job Stevie? The NYT's Patricia Cohen reports Conservatives Try New Tack on Campuses. It is nice to see it admitted that the right wingers have been spending millions in their efforts. And this is just on the college campuses! Since their war against the nasty liberals is largely a paranoid fantasy, they are naturally not making a dent. Their new strategy ... "They are finding like-minded tenured professors and helping them establish academic beachheads for their ideas." Stephen Balch of The National Association of Scholars is pictured above getting his National Humanities Medals for 2007. Having Victor Davis Hanson and Richard Pipes on the same list of recipients shows how right this administration leans. 1-20-09 can't come too soon. John Gunn
