caroljane Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) **NOT**This list was rejected by the Letterman show because of the evil Marxist bias of the media.1. You're unable to grasp concepts firmly because you have a weak grip -can't even open JARS.2. You think the Law of Identity is the reason Cousin Eugene is serving six years at Coleman.3. You have a recurring dream in which Atlas shrugs, and the world just slides off his shoulders and sails away into space.4. When told to check your premises, you run home in a panic, because Cousin Eugene's former friends know where you live.5. You can't rationally convince your family that they don't understand you.6. No #6 - submission lacked sufficient cognitive content.7. You revere Mozart.8. Nobody will agree to debate philosophy with you, except Cousin Eugene.9. For you, A is Ehbecause10. You're Canadian.

I think he goes way beyond the pale at times, but if you do not reach for the stars...well you understand what I mean. Skating on the edge is risky.

Ive looked up rde and he is as Adam says, hilariously on the edge, he writes from his own perspective and comedic style, which (though he might deny this) is more cerebral and in an entirely different tradition from mine, if I have one. I tend to low comedy, though this being an intellectual site and all I have striven for higher, and stay primly within the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just glad of the constructive criticism.I am resurrecting this because I have just spent a long time in Search, looking for another thread which I remembered by title, and it never came up. This did so I thought y'all might like to know that Eugene will be home soon.He is not exactly getting out but he is being transferred to a Canadian institution where we can visit him. He is sad about leaving his new friends at Coleman especially Conrad Black who is the only other person in North America who would discuss Ayn Rand with him. Conrad told Eug that his wife Barbara was a lot like Ayn Rand only prettier. Eugene looked at photos and agreed. He thought for himself. We are all proud of him.
