This Is Not A Joke

Last week Ann Romney's plain was forced to make an emergency landing when it experienced mechanical problems and smoke filled the cabin. All aboard were safe. Everyone, of course, was relieved--not the least of whom, Mitt himself. As New York Magazine, and others have reported, his comments have raised certain questions:

“I appreciate the fact that she is on the ground, safe and sound. And I don’t think she knows just how worried some of us were,” Romney said. “When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem."

Apparently, Mitt was not joking. 'nuff said.

"A Whitman for our Time."
- Jerome Loving,
   ORDER
"Stephen John Mack's The Pragmatic Whitman: Reimagining American Democracy, [is] The most thoroughly informed philosophical reading of Whitman to appear in decades. Mack develops the premise . . . That Whitman shares with John Dewey a vision of democracy as a 'civic religion' in America, a profoundly secularist and progressive perspective.
