Blithe Spirit

"Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! Bird thou never wert, That from Heaven, or near it, Pourest thy full heart In profuse strains of unpremeditated art."

Day: November 28, 2016

Before running, or driving, amok on the OSU campus, this reportedly pious Muslim, worried about being unable to pray on campus . . .

” . . . relied on God. I went over to the corner and just prayed.”

And then drove amok.

Tell me, please, if that’s good Muslim theology. Where did he get that idea?

That Congress you’ve been so mad about has got some very good things done . . .

Put a stop to unhelpful feelings

Un-F*ck them.

Though I think the author goes beyond that.

A revival of stoicism, the ancient doctrine that fit in so well with the up-and-rising Christianity that it might as well have been canonized.
