AFAIK she's not a philosophy professor. She's a poet and lecturer "trained in philosophy," if that eases your load.
Eep! One more click proved me wrong. Apologies.
Are the first two photos really the same person?
And I suppose if Putnam can assign "Twin Earth," then she can assign Close to the Shore, but there's something a little iffy about it...
The stupid hippie is right that the unjustified invasion of Iraq has led to over 100,000 Iraqi deaths. I hate it when the stupid hippies are right.
Is this really that bad of a comparison to make?
What's bugged me about the rationale for the invasion is that stupid flypaper theory.
Great. So now we are protecting our civilians by intentionally putting other civilians in danger.
If you are being threatened with a gun, is it morally defensible for you to pull an innocent bystander in front of you to take the bullet?
I really don't want to compare myself to some of the more rabid and embarrasing elements of academia, but I do see an inconsistency here on the part of the administration.
The culture of life is really selective.
Ah, sorry, what bugged me was this:
Either you adhere to the moral imperative or you're a relativist.
Lots of people might be able to get away with something that sloppy, but not a philosophy professor.
baa, welcome to the world of author photos.
Baa,

I think that I will never see
An ocean formed from XYZ
An ocean with a sandy beech
O'er which the silver elms roots reach
A silver elm whose mouth is prest
against the twin-earth's flowing brest
er, "breast." "beech" is intentional.
Well, that's much better than Putnam's poetry
wait, baa, is that quote above from putnam's poetry, or did you make it up? because it's hella funny. god I'm a nerd.
Admit? You should be proud. My attempts at elaboration were mere lame attempts to hitch my wagon to your star.
(Annoyingly, there are silver elms as well as silver beeches.)
My attempts at elaboration were mere lame attempts to hitch my wagon to your star.
You probably want a rewrite here to avoid the repetition of "attempts".
What, now we're nitpicking style? Next we'll be nitpicking content or scansion.
I'm waiting for people to start nitpicking my name.
Bad news Matt, "Weiner" is irretrievably trochaic.
If said with a French accent, by a pretty French lady, "Weiner" need not be trochaic.
ah, monsieur weeNAIHR, you are so charmant...
And starring Ben w-lfs-n as "pretty french lady."
I assure you that AOTW I am not showing any leg.
