Dung And Verbal Death

      Never, ever suggest that this blog would worry about bringing a blush to a young person's cheek: check out this discussion of Podsnappery in relation to the recent publication of Harry Frankfurt's On Bullshit.   To which this blog would like to add, with a rascal's gleam in its non-existent eye, that a little intellectual impishness is usually just what the Not-So-Good Doctor ordered.  

      For those interested, there's a new interview with Professor Frankfurt right here.   Check it out.

      And, as to Professor Kimball's rather trite assumptions about the word "bullshit," please allow this blog to direct you to this poem.   As Mel Brooks is once famously reported as saying, "Some people say I'm vulgar, but I say that's...."   Well, I guess you can figure out what the last word there should be.
