Zombies Rising
Fascinating conversation, guys, fascinating.
Yes, I agree, the issues are abstract, the power of charts and graphs not withstanding--they, after all, are abstract.

More than Chomsky
No no no! The Chomsky school is not pretty much the only school in linguistics, not even in the USofA. It may well be the most visible school, especially outside the academy, but it certainly hasn't...

Re: Bed Head Edition
Hey! I enjoyed the twitter-chatter. Nothing wrong with a little this 'n that thrown in to leaven the mix.
Oh, interesting discussion about Obama continuing on in campaign mode.
