decorabilia: "Two coffins. No, maybe three."
http://decorabilia.blogspot.com/2004/11/two-coffins-no-maybe-three.html
Trolling the bright waters of the internet. Nov 19, 2004. Two coffins. No, maybe three.". It hasn't been posted on their website yet. But I'm hoping New Scientist. Will feature "A billion brains are better than one," in which Mark Buchanan delves into a topic I'd never even considered before: bacterial communication. I'd always assumed that bacteria are microscopic Yojimbos. Read up on the phenomenon at the Quorum Sensing Site. Better than I ever could. As Buchanan writes,. You be nice on your blog.".

http://decorabilia.blogspot.com/2005/05/befriending-colon-carters-rule-of.html
Trolling the bright waters of the internet. May 9, 2005. Befriending the Colon: Carter's Rule of Entitlement. So you want to write a snappy, clever, memorable title- just like Joe Carter. You're in luck, friend, because I can show you how. I'm practically a Carter expert, having culled through the last couple months' worth of titles to figure out how he does it. There's one simple rule: always use a colon. Dawkin’s Apparent Absurdities: Richard Dawkins and the Hermeneutic of Atheism. Truly Catholic: Refl...

decorabilia: not everyone needs a four-year degree? gasp!
http://decorabilia.blogspot.com/2014/05/not-everyone-needs-four-year-degree-gasp.html
Trolling the bright waters of the internet. May 21, 2014. Not everyone needs a four-year degree? I wish this message resonated louder and farther: you can have a perfectly excellent career without a four-year degree. Yes, you can. Cindy Zehnder, the blog post's author and current chair of Washington's Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board, points out that the Evergreen State is actively attempting to engage more students in the education that leads to "middle-skill jobs.". S incisive critiq...

decorabilia: the new new world order
http://decorabilia.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-new-world-order.html
Trolling the bright waters of the internet. Jan 26, 2008. The new new world order. What is America's role in the world? LDers coming across- or using- hegemony or political realism cases for the current resolution. Might want to check out two recent essays. The first, by Parag Khanna, declares that American hegemony is in its last throes. How this plays out in practice is outlined in the rest of the essay. Again, worth reading for insight, ideas, and blocks. Argue that, but I don't know how effective it ...

decorabilia: SB 5246 goes down in flames
http://decorabilia.blogspot.com/2014/02/sb-5246-goes-down-in-flames.html
Trolling the bright waters of the internet. Feb 19, 2014. SB 5246 goes down in flames. Probably because I blogged about it. The terrible Senate Bill 5246 was voted down in the Senate yesterday. The legislation failed 19-28, with minority Democrats joining with seven members of the Republican-dominated Senate majority coalition to vote no. The state is at risk of losing $44 million, but then we also stand to gain roughly $190 million from recreational pot sales, apparently. You be nice on your blog.".

decorabilia: does humanitarian aid forestall political solutions?
http://decorabilia.blogspot.com/2014/02/does-humanitarian-aid-forestall.html
Trolling the bright waters of the internet. Feb 9, 2014. Does humanitarian aid forestall political solutions? As someone who watched Phil Hartman kill it on Saturday Night Live in the early 90s, I'm old. Hartman's second-to-note Bill Clinton impersonation is on full display in the classic skit in which the rotund politician interrupts his mid-morning jog to meet, greet, and eat with regular folks at a local McDonald's. Also, I'm old. Within the context of the Israeli occupation, international aid to the ...
