News












To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit it and read it are old women over their tea.

Nice.

That was always my excuse to gossip in highschool, "We're not gossiping, we're discussing the facts!"

""Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." - Eleanor Roosevelt

What about minds who discuss the ideas of people and the events that shaped them?????

daniel hutchinson said...

and minds who discuss those minds? = postmodernism

Eleanor Roosevelt was hot.

And here's what Eleanor's hubby had to say: ""There are as many opinions as there are experts."

Dang HDT, what ya got against tea?

Jonathan Erdman said...

Or old women, for that matter.

Speaking of tea, I've been drinking Kukicha in recent days. It is also known as "twig tea." It is a roasted green tea with some twiggy things in it. Quite tasty. I need to make it a bit stronger, though, for my taste - I prefer a tea with bite.

Bite? I thought you were supposed to enjoy your tea, not let it attack you. I'm down for herbal and black teas on the lighter side.
