The Eccentric Sage: February 2012
http://theeccentricsage.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Or something like that. And I'll abuse the word "pragmatic" all I want, thank you very much! I have a hard time pigeonholing my politics. I've spent my entire adult life being opposed to political parties (or, at the very least, our two-party system as it now stands), but I'm starting to dislike the labels of "liberal" and "conservative" as well. I just don't feel like I fit in with any of these groups, and I don't see how any thinking person really can. Angering farmers by making up rules. Here agai...

The Eccentric Sage: March 2012
http://theeccentricsage.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Or something like that. I've been reading T. H. White's The Once and Future King. Lately. I think Arthurian legend is worth knowing, and I thought this would be a good primer. It was actually written and published as four separate books, which were then abridged and modified and combined into The Once and Future King. The third book is called The Ill-Made Knight. Here's a summary of the story of Lancelot for those of you who are unfamiliar. If you know it, feel free to skip down to the asterisks. If I lo...

The Eccentric Sage: January 2011
http://theeccentricsage.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Or something like that. And now a very subtle joke:. To error is human. Sorry I just barely learned that error. Is a noun and err. Is a verb, so to "to error" is an error.). This is an outrage! So That song "We Built This City" by Starship? It's kinda become my song in the last month or so for various reasons. I just really, really like it. "Marconi plays the mamba / Listen to the radio! Is pretty much one of the best things to happen to the 80s- and I like the 80s! Magazine. [.] The Blender. I recognize...

The Eccentric Sage: December 2010

Or something like that. You know that song "We Wish You a Merry Christmas? It's an upbeat song, right? And it gets a little rowdy about halfway through with the carolers demanding figgy pudding and saying they won't leave until they get some- this is a song meant to be shouted as much as sung and is usually delivered by people who are giddy with Christmas spirit, right? That's just the nature of the song. Isn't this common knowledge? So a question: WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? Fake Dates and Faux Pas.
