Comment on “If You Eat Cows, Why Not Golden Retrievers, Too?” by George

What, no fettucine al fido?

Years ago I read that muskrat is eaten around Detroit. I believe that story said that back in the days before Vatican II there were some Catholics there who regarded the muskrat as an honorary fish and would eat it on Fridays.

the assumption that religion has something to do with winning the nobel lureate is flawed—-it is more to do with budgets and research facilities than religion. If there is a means—financial and technical—for research—then there will be progress—-irrespective of religion

Comment on 15 Things overachievers do by James Ament

As you imply, overachieving may not be a good thing. And overachievers can be rather narcissistic, annoying, and destructive. Our current “dear leader” comes to mind.

So somebody who dropped out of high school, cooked meth and consumed his own product would likely hit on at least three of her points, being most likely very thin. Quite likely his consort would have a child or three before 25, and they would be in small danger of divorce, never having bothered with the marriage thing.

I wonder about the attribution of that quotation to James Dickey. In the essay “Reflections on Wallace Stevens”, collected in Poetry and the Age (1953), Randall Jarrell writes, “A good poet is someone who manages, in a lifetime of standing out in thunderstorms, to be hit by lightning five or six times; a dozen or two dozen times and he is great.”

Hi James-
I really enjoyed your book and wrote about it on my author blog and on my twitter site. It was nice to meet you in Douglas for the author signing and it was even greater to have your book get me back into reading after having my baby this spring.
I loved the characters, the fact that there was 2 stories going on at the same time and I loved emersing myself in the character’s lives. I especially enjoyed watching the character’s inner strength unfold as they went through major conflicts. What a great book! I will keep passing this story on!

George, You’re right of course. Probably best if I read only one poet.
