DaveTown – The Tumblr Years
For a couple years now, this particular version of my blog has been lost in cyberspace, only to reappear in the last week or so. I moved the whole operation over to Tumblr. You can see it Here. Here is … Continue reading

How To Enjoy Being A Teacher
You have to like kids. This is the sine qua non of teaching. If you don’t genuinely like kids, go be a Mall Cop, where this would be an advantage. You really have to have a keen sense of humor … Continue reading
MORE CONTRARIANISM
This time on the economy, from Lew Rockwell at the Mises Institute. Money quote: Sometimes the bad news is the good news. So it is with the report that retail sales are down by 0.1 percent in July, the sharpest … Continue reading

TOP FIVE
TOP FIVE MOVIE LINES:(Not of ‘all times’ or anything like that, but rather in my own particular and admittedly odd view of great 20th Century cee-nee-ma) “You keep using that word . . . I do not think it means … Continue reading
ANGER
This is without a doubt the best thing I’ve ever read on the subject of anger. It’s really no surprise it comes from the pen of Mark Shea For righteous anger is not sin if we use it as God … Continue reading

NO MAN BUT A BLOCKHEAD EVER WROTE, EXCEPT FOR MONEY
I can only see the Writer’s Guild strike as a Win-Win proposition. Either the greedybastard Producers will have to pay the Writers something approaching what they’re worth, or Prime-Time television will die a slow lingering death. I’m okay with either … Continue reading

BEST HEADLINE OF THE MONTH
CITIES CRACKING DOWN ON SAGGY PANTS Get it? They’re CRACKing down on saggy pants . . . Stop it! You’re killin’ me!
DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE
I hope you all realize this new Bin Laden video is nothing more than a transparent attempt to create ‘buzz’ for the upcoming release of his new hip-hop album. The title is . . . . Wait for it . … Continue reading

CHANGE IS GOOD (I HOPE)
Today is the first day of school around here. But not for me. For the first time since 1993, I’m not standing in a classroom this morning. Instead I’m in my office, practicing law. It’s a strange sensation, not being … Continue reading

TIME IS ON THEIR SIDE
If these guys aren’t careful, they’re going to bump headlong into God. Money Quote (from a letter by Albert Einstein, consoling the family of a close friend who had recently died): “Now he has departed from this strange world a … Continue reading

THIS IS A STRANGE COUNTRY
Remember the good ol’ days, when a football player could murder his ex-wife and a complete stranger, but still get off scot-free? Nowadays, some quarterback kills a couple dogs, and they won’t even let him show up for work. Powered … Continue reading
WHO KNEW?
Two surprises here: Not only is St Bernard of Clairvaux blogging, nearly 800 years after he died (which, let’s face it, is pretty impressive in and of itself), but what’s more, he’s surprisingly up-to-speed on cutting-edge moral theology issues, such … Continue reading

MALICIOUS MISCHIEF
