Nothing published, but I've got about five unfinished novels I fiddle with in between grad school and work. I've decided at least ONE will be done by the end of summer break. Don't know which one, though...

There's one I'm really having fun with - it involves a dystopian society ruled by women. Feminists are probably gonna HATE it. :D

"How can young people not have second thoughts about a profession when the politicians that run our state – the conservative politicians that run our state – are attacking their profession and attacking what they stand for?"

What a d***. It's the conservative politicians standing up to the unions that give this young person hope!

How about The Monkees?

Maybe it'll backfire - aren't most of them Catholic? Aside from the whole breaking-the-law thing, I'd rather live next door to an illegal-immigrant Mexican Catholic than some Brave New World libprog.

I can't post the word m o n k e y?? That's SPECIESIST!!!

Yay, NJ... Every winter, I tell myself this is the LAST ONE. It gets me through. This one won't be the last, but at least it's not too bad so far.

I don't know that Whitman was any kind of conservative, but now we've got our mob boss, I mean, conservative-for-NJ governor, Chris Christie, who at least keeps us entertained! :P And he actually does some good things, which is nice. Can't stop Jersey Shore, though, unfortunately.

Tell you what - let's all just say screw this BS and move to Texas! When I get there, I'll have a big ol' backyard cookout and you can come!

You know, I heard California used to be a nice place...

"MAN. This elegant little biped has long been valued as a delicacy. It forms a traditional part of the Autumn Feast, and is served between the fish and the joint."

-C. S. Lewis, The Silver Chair

Like the man-eating "gentle giants" of Harfang castle, these progressives seem civilized, but destroy children. The two differences between them are 1) size, and 2) low self-awareness on the part of (some of the*) human progressives, who think they're helping children.

*Plenty of those teachers know exactly what they're doing: http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/story/2012...

NP - I knew you knew that. :)

"When's the last time a... Christian stoned a woman to death for adultery?"

We weren't supposed to do that from the start.
