For those who appreciate good writing, 2007 has been a great year for lyrics in pop music. Here are a few of my favorites. First, from The National's Boxer. Is the chorus from "Mistaken For Strangers". You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends. When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights. Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under. We’ll stay inside t...

Obama for President - Deep Background. Literature, Science, History, Politics, Music, Food, Geography, Parenthood. Be counted, so the best bet for their supporters is to vote "Uncommitted".) Although he has surged in the polls in recent weeks, Obama really must win Iowa and New Hampshire to overcome the commanding lead Hillary Clinton has in national polls. If Iowa winds up going for Edwards or Clinton, I think Obama is probably toast, and Hillary will be the nominee. Of Obama's health care plan, which u...

Coming out as an atheist - Deep Background. Literature, Science, History, Politics, Music, Food, Geography, Parenthood. Coming out as an atheist. Or unwitting players in a morality play being performed for some alien intelligence, or maybe we're characters in someone's book, as in the classic YA survey of Western philosophy, Sophie's World.

On Correct Thinking - Deep Background. Literature, Science, History, Politics, Music, Food, Geography, Parenthood. I had an eye-opening conversation with P a couple of days before he left. P had mentioned to me in the past that his sect, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. And the Mormons have been persecuted as heretical. The city where P grew up.
