Thursday, May 27, 2010: A Typical Day for a Humanities Professor? Yes,
Wampole — a doctoral student in French and Italian literature — is
singing the scared thoughts of that Lolita, the 12-year-old who grows
sexually involved with middle-aged Humbert Humbert in Vladimir Nabokov's
1955 novel." I'm not sure what any of this means and I don't want to
know but clearly freedom of speech has gone too far. Where is Senator
Joe McCarthy when we need him?
JM: Today I read about bombed humanitarian ships and a few days ago
about Noam Chomsky's plights, among all sorts of crime and punishments.
Now I got to Sandy Klein's forwarded URL... I was reminded of
Chesterton's conclusion that "the best way to hide a leaf is in the
forest" because, nowadays, the best hiding places seem to be world-news
headlines, everything glaring and shouting for us to hear and notice (in
vain?).
The banana-fishy blogger smuggly calling in his "Shadows" has scared the
wits out of me. And he is merely one in a trend which re-creates new
Padukgrads all over, with no particular nationality and their passport
is not talent but omnipotence and prejudice.
