I recently read a tremendous account of a man who took his son, a big fan of the honorable Mahatma Gandhi, to perhaps receive some advice on how to get his son to quit his addiction to sweets. Gandhi asked the man to come back with his son two weeks later. The man said that it would be cost prohibitive and wondered why Gandhi could not help him at that time. Gandhi explained that he would just have to come back two weeks later.
The body is an amazing mechanism. It regulates heat and cold. It does its best to protect us from harm. Our bodies are our last stand against the weather.
For each job offered in the marketplace today, there are 5.5 applicants. How do you best winnow the applicant pool? Some companies are actively choosing to reduce the number of job applicants by only accepting applications from people who already have a job. Huh?
Janna and I aren’t big on formal gift giving.

For eight years George W. Bush was the president of our fair nation and led in a way that I would not exactly describe as bipartisan — he reached out to and embraced the right, the far right, and the so far right that it almost wraps around and touches the other side.

One semester, I was teaching a Dramatic Literature course at a major public university on the East Coast, when I was approached by four women after the first session.
The four walked up to me and one of them told me they were Muslim and that I had to guarantee them no man would touch them during class.

I know three things about President Obama; he is a good man, he’s an honest man, and he is truly dedicated to “The Public Good.” That said, he has a curious way to trying to provide for The Public Good by negotiating with liars, bending backward for his enemies, and trying allay the fears of those who have vested their public lives to thwarting him at every turn. The man is surrounded, and instead of fighting, he is surrendering.
Is there anything worse than walking along a public city sidewalk and stepping in doggy doo or slipping on puppy pee? Why are so many dog owners irresponsible in taking care of their pets?
