Bad liberal Writing- John Meacham, Boy- Editor of Newsweek

I love Sewanee, an Episcopal university tucked away on 13,000 rural acres.... It is a place where students and faculty wear academic gowns to class.... Modernity intrudes with a single full-time traffic light on campus, but for years that incursion was ameliorated by the sight of a professor of religion's cat taking a daily nap on the street directly beneath the light. (John Meacham, Newsweek, writing on the Liberal Arts)

Deep down you know it kills him he didn't go Harvard. Or even Brown. I mean going to college down south makes him practically a tea bagger.

Be careful losing yourself in tortured thoughts of modernity around the traffic light when you cross the campus or you might end up substituting your academic gown for a hospital one.

Signs of Terror in Liberal Land

In Cambridge I’m surrounded by disappointed and upset people now so I’m not feeling that isolated,’’ Annabel Gill, shift manager at 1369, said Wednesday as she fashioned an elegant leaf design in the foam of a skim milk latte. “But it is a little unsettling to realize that more people in this state want to vote [Republican] than I would have suspected, so that does make me feel a little isolated.’’ ( From the Boston Globe)

My God! You can almost hear the strains of John Philip Sousa in the background as the Republican Party Converges on Cambridge replacing whole milk for skim milk in the latte shop, and banning nutmeg tarts for good old american oreos. And then marching down to the food coop and defiling the sanctity of the place with a snickers wrapper.
