It's fine to the look at the bright side OF REALITY.

It's dumb to look at the bright side of MANUFACTURED FICTION.

Eighty-five persons showed up at the rally. I wonder if that means 85 excommunications are to follow.

That's all that showed up? I guess the numbers were thin due to the rush of the sex-starved masses to see Bakkhai by Euripides up in SLC.

Titillation trumps protestation every time.

I have considered this. I have the credentials to hold up my end.

Oh yes, and while I have been scarce of late, I haven't been gone in a higher sense.

It would be fantastic to chase such an endeavor. My credentials (all from BYU) probably wouldn't stack up, but perhaps I could chase dollars.

I haven't sold candy bars, but I have eaten them. Perhaps that qualifies me to be President.

I could buy that.

But it would have to be an all-womens university.
