Entertainment: What's everybody reading or into right now?

by schnell in

i picked up bernard cornwell's the pagan lord at the library.

historical fiction set in england after the death of alfred the great.

i'm loving it, especially the between-the-lines wit and sense of timing in cornwell's writing, and the complete badassery of the protagonist.

"I told them they had to be quiet,

And the children were threatening to riot.

I need some Scotch tape

For small mouths that gape.

The next time I'm shopping, I'll buy it."

I'm a new teacher. I don't have anytime for entertainment. (Grading 68 papers on a 15 point rubric, anyone?)

I do content myself with stupid limericks, though.

"In my hands hangs the fate of the nation;

I'm weaving the next generation.

And, next to my loom,

I'm parking my broom.

For what, you say? Cheap transportation!"

Trump's goal was winning.

He has no freakin' clue what to do right now.

He is beholden to no one.

Including the people who voted him in.

Sam Harris on Trump - The Most Powerful Clown

by cofty in

harris is at his incisive best in his latest podcast.. he likens the situation to being on an aeroplane where the pilot has died and somebody with no experience of flying has grabbed the controls.

we should all be committed to his success.

prize for the best line goes to - "caligula with a iphone".. even if you love trump and despise harris you should appreciate his clarity.. waking up with sam harris....

GrreatTeacher

Yep.That's how he comes in under budget.

This one from Bloomberg Business News. But, it's on every other major outlet, too, with a quick search.

Sorry, it appears I was unsuccessful with my bitly link magic this time. Maybe if you copy and paste the headlines into Google it will work.

No joke.
