One of my trusty informants, who I believe keeps as fair a

evidence, that I spoke briefly but moderately ill of John
Dorrance ten months ago today.  I feel differently about it
now.  Of course, as I believe there's ample evidence to show.

Sorry for assuming that you were better read that you actually are.

If you knew who Jezebel was, and how that one was spelled, you could have
picked a wittier, more meaningful insult.  Instead, you chose to spell it
in a different manner, removing any sting that is associated with that
name.

Perhaps if you used wit in your insults, people would find you clever rather
than tiresome.

Cilantro is usually the fresh leaves of the coriander plant.  Here in
the Bay Area it's often labelled as "Chinese Parsley".  Coriander as a
spice is the seeds of the plant.

Reply-To: dbailey@cix.compulink.co.uk
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 1992 13:07:21 +0000



Here's an urgent appeal for help from Britain.

Pat Robertson has applied for a cable / satellite television
license in Britain, which would also give him access to all of
Europe.

For him to be disqualified we need to show the licensing
authority that he is an _officer_ or an associate of an
organisation that is wholely or mainly political.  Political
means anything from trying to influence a change in law or public
policy.

Can someone provide clear evidence of this, please?

If he is an officer of more than one then let's have them all!

Mail to me in case I might miss it here, and it will go straight
to the right place.

I know, for example that he writes letters for the Iowa Christian
Coalition (I have that fund raising hate letter he wrote) but I
don't know whether he holds a position with the Christian
Coalition, or quite enough about it.  Specific details would be
nice.

If he gets this license he keeps growing.  If he fails he might
stall - his proposed takeover of MTM productions (Hill Street
Blues, St Elsewhere, etc) might, for example, also fail as a
result.

Over to you!

well, MIT is not utterly without people the wider world recognizes as
intellectuals (rather than engineers or crypto-engineers): noam
chomsky in particular.  when i was a grad student there, roman
jakobson was still alive and teaching at MIT as well as harvard, and
he certainly belongs on anybody's list of the top ten intellectuals of
euro-american culture in the twentieth century.

but, yes, MIT is not full of historians of culture, film theorists,
literary critics, novelists and poets (even those keen on science),
social philosophers, essayists, or even people who just try to figure
out what's going on in the world around them.  (it is also very far
from empty of them.  in comparison with your average business firm,
it's positively infested with them...but this just means the
percentage is, maybe, ten to fifteen.)

the idea of MIT as a hotbed of intellectuals - the sorbonne of an
america approaching a new century - is still absurd.  i wonder where
people who think it is get their ideas, about universities, about
the life of the mind, about anything.

Well, yes, but that misses Jess's point.  There are lots of
women named Madonna.  My father had a cousin named Madonna (and
if you want to talk about bad girls, honey, I should tell you
about her some time).  Madonna Ciccone has always played with
the connotations involved with her first name -- as is her
right, of course -- and the fact that she's known as Madonna 
rather than Madonna Ciccone or Madonna Somethingelse keeps
those connotations in the foreground.

Of course there's also the issue of being known by one name.
My own feeling is that that's something that's earned rather
than appropriated, but that's a different argument.

Bzzt.  Education is not evil.  The Pretenders in the Temple are
evil.  A case of loving the sin but not the sinner, perhaps?

'Pompous intellectual' summed it up quite nicely.

Perhaps it has something to do with talking a great deal about
what to do and how to do it, but making no real contribution to
such mundane things as GNP.  

Enough of these blood-sucking insects!  Enough of the Cultural
Elite!  A Cultural Revolution, now that's what we need!  Lot's of
dead intellectuals.  Yeah, yeah.  That's the ticket.  No!  Death
is too good for them...  Send them to the Gobi!  Yeah, yeah.  
That's the ticket.  Think the Chinese would take 'em?

No, you're probably right.

Sibera?  We could rent it from the Russians.  They need the money,
we need the gulags.  I bet Anderson would look cute, all wrapped
up like Santa Claus.  Do they have Internet access in Sibera.

Perish the thought.  Perish the pompous intellectuals!

All joking aside, it probably would improve American industry a
great deal to be rid of the damn parasites...

I hope it takes much longer than 30 years before #3 happens.  Never would
be soon enough.  I'm not in favor of #1 either.

#9 is tricky.  If the function is to prevent war, fine.  If it's to have a
big super-government that controls everything, count me out.  I've gotten
to like the federalism model, even though it has problems. 

#7 has happened already, hasn't it?
