http://pomegranatethoughts.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 15, 2008. One of my students (thanks, Mike! Sent me a link to an editorial cartoon. That is the McCain equivalent of the New Yorker cover of Obama. Monday, July 14, 2008. According to Nico Pitney at the Huffington Post. Barry Blitt the creator of the satiric cartoon aimed to convey the extreme views out there of the Obamas:. The problem is interpretation. The Obama campaign. It created such a stir that it even got time on the News Hour with Jim Lehrer. Perhaps, a title would have helped?

Tuesday, August 11, 2009. I've stopped blogging here. With Isabel, twins on the way, trying to achieve tenure, etc., there just aren't enough hours of the day to update this blog. I've been mulling whether to keep it up or take it down. For the time being, I'll keep it up. Maybe the time and spirit will appear once again. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Pomegranate Thoughts: September 2010
http://pomegranatethoughts.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 12, 2010. Today Jon and I had to put our last granny cat to rest, our dear Hailie. Much to our relief, a neighbor was able to come over and watch the girls, and we took Hailie on her last car ride. She hardly moved while we drove. When we got to the clinic and had her euthanized, she went very quickly. She seemed tired, ready. We, Jon and I, of course were not ready. It does not get easier, even though this is our third. When she finally came into our hands, and there were no other hand...

Pomegranate Thoughts: June 2015
http://pomegranatethoughts.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Our first family dog, the big beast, Indy, made his way to the Rainbow Bridge last Wednesday, June 24. We don't know how old he was, but I am certain he lived an excellent life with us. When Jon and I moved to Berne, we started watching The Dog Whisperer. So, on adoption day, Jon went to the adoption day, and according to him, spent most of his time with other dogs, and as they were beginning to pack up, told the gals there that he'd been sent to adopt Indy. When the girls were bo...

Pomegranate Thoughts: The Crisis at SUNY
http://pomegranatethoughts.blogspot.com/2008/12/crisis-at-suny.html
Thursday, December 11, 2008. The Crisis at SUNY. Today, I attended one of the townhall forums hosted by the President, Provost, and CFO. I thought I was up on the latest budget happenings, but the information provided by CFO Kathy Lowry about UAbany's budget situation is far worse than I'd realized. A few notable highlights:. Before the current budget cuts, Ualbany was receiving approximately 18% of its operating funds from the state. After the cuts, it's 15%. If more cuts come, then even less (a...If yo...

Pomegranate Thoughts: Sarah Palin Africa Hoax
http://pomegranatethoughts.blogspot.com/2008/11/sarah-palin-africa-hoax.html
Wednesday, November 12, 2008. Sarah Palin Africa Hoax. Last week much noise was made about Sarah Palin and a "fact" that she didn't know that Africa was a continent. Turns out that story was a hoax. It's complicated, but in a nutshell the McCain aid the reported that Palin didn't know this basic geographic fact was not. Read about it in the New York Times. And shame on journalists and bloggers for reporting a story from a guy who was KNOWN to be a huckster (details of this at the bottom of the story).

Pomegranate Thoughts: August 2008
http://pomegranatethoughts.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2008. More Me on (in? Today, I was on Northeast Public Radio's WAMC for their 2pm call-in show. I must confess, it was great fun fielding calls from listeners on the Democratic Convention and McCain's VP pick. One of my former students even called in. He said I had been his favorite professor at UAlbany. I must put him on the payroll! Thursday, August 28, 2008. Me on the News. I'm now at my desk, trying to finish coding deliberations, and supping. We were living in a trailer that was p...
