-t, S. knows the deal with yeast. He's going to walk me through it next time. I've decided I was still very accomplished in the kitchen today, though. Even if I wasn't anywhere else.

What if God had finally decided enough is enough with Christians sullying His good name and the plague he sent to the US became heart disease that struck everyone who didn't have some sort on their car?

I'm grading rhetorical analyses of stump speeches. My favorite one so far says,

Santorum uses another example of rhetoric when he argues that "As family breaks down, we have to build more prisons." This chiasmus says that broken homes make criminals. Santorum's claim is significant because is shows that his logic is kind of messed up. In other words, Rick Santorum is crazy.

They get the format of argumentation, even if the arguments are not quite there.

In other words, Rick Santorum is crazy.

S/he's not wrong.

True and it made me laugh aloud, but he made a leap in logic (though the evidence is sound) without explanation which is an issue I am working on with my students.

Congrats Juliana and M!

Random weirdness. I've been communicating with a client about a project and they keep referring to it as the UKIE project, and I know they mean UK and Ireland but in my head I keep feeling like there's some kind of ethnic slur or something going on. Not rationally - just something about the sound of the word that keeps taking me aback.
